Story in French
Students create Digital Stories in French that explore their personal experiences and reasons for learning French as a second language. Teachers work with bilingual educational consultants to guide students through the creative process over 3-7 weeks.
Teachers participate in a 75 minute orientation session with LEARN.
Teachers use or adapt LEARN’s List of Guiding Questions to explore students’ personal experiences and reasons for learning French.
Teachers collaborate with consultants to guide students in creating digital stories about their personal experiences and motivations for learning French. Educational consultants provide three in-person workshop sessions, each lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
Students reflect on their experience and use of French, then celebrate and showcase their completed project with the school and/or broader community.
Teachers share project outcomes and artifacts with LEARN.
* Consultants will help students create digital stories using technology and software that is already available at your school.

Carolyn Buteau is passionate about helping students find their voice through the I Belong / Ma place est ici! project. Raised in a bilingual Québec household, she grew up at the crossroads of both cultures, which sparked her lasting love for the province’s diverse communities, vibrant arts, and unique humour. Drawing on her upbringing and experience as a LEARN educational consultant, she helps create a supportive space where students can celebrate their unique identities and share their personal journeys through digital storytelling.
Stacy Allen, a LEARN educational consultant, grounds her work in her own lived experience moving to Québec as an adult and immersing herself in a new language and culture. By sharing her journey toward finding a place of belonging, she helps cultivate a warm, dynamic environment that honours diversity and empowers students to take linguistic risks and express their authentic selves.
