Jason and Katie bring Texas to Lycée Vaugelas!


Monday, February 7, Jason and Katie visited my première class (11th graders) to talk about careers and educational choices in the United States. Katie talked about her education to become an interior designer and had one student who was quite interested in such a career. This French student said that there were few options to pursue such a career in France. She felt that she would have to leave France to pursue such an education. Jason then talked about his job in professional sports. He had good dialogue with some boys who follow professional sports in Europe as well as the U.S. He ended the discussion by showing the class an autographed picture of their own "Tony Parker" and giving each student a coyote mascot doll representing the San Antonio Spurs. It was good interaction and discussion concerning educational options in France and the United States after completing high school. Merci bien, Katie and Jason, for sharing your time with French students!
Mme. Wallace
