Notes

• Advise students that they will not know all of the words on these Web sites. They should look for cognates and words they already know.
  
  
• Two meanings of moule come up in this activity. Explain to students the difference between une moule, from the Chapitre 6 vocabulary, and un moule à soufflé, à tarte, or à cake.
  
  You may also want to give students the following vocabulary words.
  
  

  un puits	a well
  du terroir	of the native soil
  les asperges	asparagus
  l'amitié	friendship
  un souvenir	memory
  l'acceuil	reception
  le garde manger	bread basket

  
  

Expansion

• Have students divide into small groups and choose one of the recipes listed. Then, as if they were on a TV cooking show, have them explain in French and demonstrate how to make the recipe. Ask each group to present their show to the class. This activity requires group preparation outside of class.
