  A: Hi Renee, Thank you for your question. The beginning, novice level thematic units for this series are primarily focused on France with a few Canadian resources. This was, for the most part, done for consistency of the accent at this point. The teacher/author feels that by the end of their first year they should have an "understanding" of the culture in France.
  
  In the next stage of this series for the higher, intermediate levels as the students become more advanced, we plan to intentionally include a variety of very important francophone countries and cultures. francophone cultures. At that level, the units will be making comparisons on more global issues with comparing other countries to each other as well as their own.
  
  Thanks again!

  A: Sally,
  
  To answer your question with the best answer we contacted the author who is also a teacher and she answered how she uses the book. Her response is below.
  
  I used Les fetes to begin the school year this year. I spread it out over the first 9 weeks because we are required to complete 1 a quarter. However, I believe it could be comfortably completed anywhere from 4-9 weeks. My classes are 40 minutes and my students had no previous knowledge. So it will vary slightly depending on the amount of time of year it would be being taught (so how much language they have already acquired).
