France This Way

http://www.francethisway.com/frenchfood.php

Summary: This page of the website France This Way is dedicated to French recipes. However, by clicking around on the other pages, there is access to information about the regions of France, how to make accommodations, and background information about the country. A teacher could use this website for a cultural project in which students had to create a travel brochure or plan an imaginary trip to the country. They could describe how they would travel, where they would stay, and what they would see and eat while visiting France.

Commentary: This website has a very simple yet functional design. Information is organized and easy to access. It offers guidance and tips for travelling to France, as well as what to see and do while visiting. The language is very easy to understand and would be age appropriate for high school students. The interactive map of the different regions is a fun way to explore the country. The imagery is amazing and provides a visual representation to the student. I rate this website 5 out of 5 stars.
