Le Calendrier

Le Calendrier
You are going to work in groups of 4
students to make one complete calendar
for the year 2012.
• This means that each student in each
group will be responsible for making 3
complete pages of the calendar for that
year. (No duplicate months)

Le Calendrier
Each month must include:
• The name of the month in French at the top
• The names of the days of the week in French,
starting with the name of the first day that
appears on the French calendar (It will not be
Sunday.)
• Remember that the names of the days of the
week and the months of the year are not
capitalized in French.

Each month must also include:
• The name of the one holiday occurring during
that month, preferably, one that the French
celebrate.
• One birthday celebrated during that month,
written in the following format demonstrated
in class:
l’anniversaire de nom OR if the person’s name
starts with a vowel: l’anniversaire d’ nom

The page should also be decorated with
appropriate pictures and should be neat
and colorful.
You can decorate it with hand drawn and
colored pictures or clip art from the
computer. You can also use stickers if you
wish.
