If you can't go shopping in Paris, France the next best thing is to go on a "virtual shopping spree"! On-line shopping is becoming an everyday occurence for many people and even my own son does this on a regular basis. Although not from a Parisien store he certainly shops as diligently as anyone who would go into a store at the mall! Galeries Lafayettes a very popular department store in France also has an on-line shopping site where my students did their own shopping today with "virtual euros". :) Although they certainly could not finish the activity that is found at my store within an hour, they certainly had a great time trying to do so. "I still need shoes!" - "Are you comfortable spending almost $300 on boots?" - These are only two of the comments that I heard my students making while I glanced and listened around the room. The chatter was totally "on task" and they were having a great time at the same time. "Would you really wear that camping?" and the comments continued. "This is the kind of work I like to do. It's not like work at all!" What better way to have students talk about your lesson than like that? :) Give it a try!
