Last week, with Claire, you began a translation about Tripes à la mode de Caen.
We will look at your versions and collate a group version.
You have a timed assessment to complete during the assessment week.
Next week, we will release a mock assessment that you can attempt, and feedback can be given in the session with Claire.
One final practice task - Le Kouign Amman - a traditional cake from Brittany.
After the assessment you will move on to looking at advertising... So, here are some ideas for advertising this very recipe...
What about this advertising poster from 1879

Some publicités from a French store similar to Home Bargains or B&M Stores in the UK.
And a trailer (bande annonce) for a film in cinemas now...

Last week, with Claire, you began to look at the translation of recipes from French into English and some of the difficulties and issues which might come up while doing this...
Could you add your translations to this shared folder?
Today, together, we will aim to find the best way to translate a recipe... Perhaps for something we may never have come across ourselves.
What might the issues be?
Can you think of any difficulties you may encounter?
(This one uses ingredients available in France, so it is not really poutine.)
A real Quebecois is doing the recipe for authentic Poutine Quebec-style sauce (he goes on to try various sorts of cheese that could be substituted for the curds ... (He does mention the seal cotton wool once, so be warned!)
It would be best if you aimed to complete your translations of the Poutine Recipe text and upload your results here.
If all is complete - Can you think of how you might put this video (above) into English...? What would you need? What might the issues be?
