Activity: Un jour, une star
As part of the Semaine de la francophonie, members of the Glendon community are invited to discover, each day, the identity of a francophone star.
Each participant, with the help of clues that will be given during the day, via social networks and le Salon francophone, will be able to send his/her answer, before 5:00 PM, to semainedelafrancophonie2022@gmail.com
Two prizes (Tim Hortons gift cards) will be offered per day:
- A prize for the first person who answers correctly
- A second prize for the person who answers correctly and whose name will be randomly drawn at the end of the day.
At the end of the week, a final draw will be held to award a prize to a random participant who successfully responded during the week.
The clues are developed by the students of FRAN 3865, a course entitled “Le français des stars” and directed by Professor Gaëlle Vercollier (Department of French Studies).
