2017) High Tech French Honors Society, moderated by Dr. Laje Gashi, hosted a
showcase of French culture for students and faculty, announced Dr. Joseph
Giammarella, Principal of High Tech High School.
“Interdisciplinary
teaching helps students engage and make connections between subjects taught at
High Tech,” says Dr. Gashi. “The showcase
consisted of individual projects demonstrating how the French language and French
culture impact and intertwine with our global culture.”
A wide
variety of students and majors within the French Honors Society incorporated
everything from fashion, architecture, food, dance, science, art, and notable
French figures into the showcase. Science
majors, for instance, presented projects about Marie Curie, Lavoisier, Pasteur,
and Descartes. Performing arts students offered dance terminology in the French
language and the influence of French cabaret.
