French 300 Honors students recently completed the immersive unit “Chez soi,” or “at home,” exploring the francophone world’s rich cultural and architectural diversity. Through research and creative projects, students compared housing styles from mud-brick homes in Mali to island-inspired designs in Martinique, delving into the cultural significance of historic French castles. The unit sharpened their language skills and deepened their understanding of how environments shape lifestyles, offering a unique perspective on the global diversity within the French-speaking world.
