Assignment #5:
You are now going to "visit" your country. You have one "week". You are going to describe what you did, what you ate and where you went everyday. You can add pictures to your travel wiki, of course. You are to do this in English at this stage. You will be completing two days of your travel wiki every week, starting today!!

Monday:
I went to Montreal! I started the day by having a big breakfast of pancakes and real maple syrup (which was harvested in Quebec). We then went to Notre Dame Cathedral, which is supposedly very much like the one in Paris, France. It was beautiful . I ate at the famous Swartz's Restaurant. They serve huge "Montreal Smoked Meat" sandwiches (and pickles). I also hiked up Mt. Royal (which really wasn't much of a hike because it was more like a hill). Believe it or not, people actually ski on this "Mountain". In the evening, I went to the "Just for Laughs" comedy festival.

Où est-vous pays ? (Where is your country?)
For this assignment, you need to find two different maps that clearly show what your country looks like and where in the world your country is located. Then you must describe the following items in French and in English: Here is the assignment sample: Voici le Québec. Le Québec est au Canada. Here is Quebec. Quebec is in Canada. Le Québec n'est pas un pays, il est une province. C'est une province très grande. Quebec is not a country, it is a province. It is a very large province. Il est situé dans le continent de l'Amérique du Nord. It is located in the continent of North America. 
 * 1) Here is my country!
 * 2) Is your country small, very small, large or very large country in the world?
 * 3) What continent is is located in?

Assignment #2: Pretty pictures!
You are going to search for and choose 3 pictures that show the beauty of the country that you chose. You are going to write a short sentence for each picture in English and then you are going to provide a french translation below. //**Keep in mind that you are going to have to say this stuff in front of the class and eventually as part of a short documentary.**// Here is the handy translator link again: [|Babelfish]

__**Sample:**__
This is Quebec City. It is the oldest city in Canada. It looks like Europe, doesn't it?

__**En Francais:**__
C'est Quebec City. C'est la ville la plus ancienne au Canada. Il ressemble à l'Europe, n'est pas?



These are the cannons that protected the city from the English. They did not work very well.

__**En Francais:**__

Ce sont les canons qui ont protégé la ville contre l'anglais. Ils n'ont pas fonctionné très bien.

//__**Assignment 1: Please give your name, the country you are traveling to and a brief explanation as to why you chose this country!**__//

Sample: Je m'appelle Jennifer (I call myself Jennifer). Je voyage au Quebec (I am travelling to Quebec). J'aime le Quebec parce que (I like Quebec because):
 * it is part of Canada and I think you should know more about it!
 * I figured that you guys would not choose Quebec, and I needed to choose a region as a sample.
 * I was in Quebec, and found that it was one of my favorite parts of Canada!!

__**Okay! Now it is your turn!**__ //Here is a handy translator link, by the way:// [|Babelfish] It helped me write the French stuff above. You can always copy my format, of course. I won't always make things this easy!
