It is primarily a teacher resource with ready to use activities on films such as Amélie, Les Choristes, Amistad, Truffaut's L'Enfant Sauvage and others. There are cloze exercises for songs by the likes of Charles Trenet, Serge Gainsbourg and Les Rita Mitzouko. Literature faculty will be interested in the thematic worksheets on topics like autobiography, war throughout the ages, and such common topics as
the theme of ambition in Flaubert, Stendhal and Balzac. There are whole units on Flaubert's Un Coeur simple and Maupassant's La Parure.
