My Project

Please help me create a French Classics Lending library in my class. I want to expose my students to some of the most important books ever written and provide them with English copies that they can borrow and return at their pleasure.

Students need to read these classic French novels so a classroom lending library is a smart way to get started.

I have included about 20 titles from from writers such as Victor Hugo, Guy de Maupassant, Antoine de Sainte-Exupery, Jules Verne, Alexander Dumas, Gaston Leroux, Marcel Pagnol, Charles Baudelaire, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and Edmond Rostard just to start. I will add these to some that we already have and hopefully expand as much as possible.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
