French Book Study: Le Petit Prince

This online course, taught in French, is designed for upper-level French students seeking to read and discuss the classic novel Le Petit Prince during the summer. Led by instructor Sally Barstow, the course spans 7 weeks and provides weekly vocabulary sheets to assist students in their reading. Each weekly meeting includes reading and discussing portions of the text, with a focus on exploring significant themes. The course is recommended for students who have completed French 3, though a strong French 2 student may also consider enrolling. No grading occurs unless requested by the student, who will instead receive a participation award. Students need high-speed internet, a webcam, sound card, microphone, and streaming video capabilities for live sessions and recorded lectures. A scanner is helpful for submitting assignments.
