Catherine Missonier, French fiction writer, visits our School
 

Last week, INTL* welcomed French fiction writer, Catherine Missonier, to school. Although she originally began her career as an urban planner, Mme. Missonier answered her calling as a fiction writer and switched career paths later in life.

She shared writing lessons with our 3rd-5th French immersion students, focusing on:

• 3rd grade, writing a synopsis for a new detective novel
• 4th grade, interview of a writer
• 5th grade, design and construct a newspaper
 

Our students read "Superman contre CE2", "Extraterrestre appelleCM1", and "Les CM2 à la Une".
