But first, let’s go over what Voces is NOT.

7 of 40

Voces Is NOT a Textbook

Voces won’t get outdated.

The spine won’t break.

And Voces doesn’t cost a fortune like traditional textbooks do.

Voces Is Not a Place for Students to Log In and Tune Out

Students need their teachers.

Voces doesn’t replace teachers.

Rather, Voces supports teachers in reaching their goals.

Voces Does Not Assume That All Teachers Are the Same

Teachers are different, with different backgrounds, strengths, and personalities.

Therefore, Voces offers resources and tools that help all teachers, and meets them where they are.

Voces Is a Road Map to Students’ Success

15 of 40

Notre histoire takes middle and high school students through FIVE FULL YEARS of French instruction, supporting students as they advance through the Novice and Intermediate levels of proficiency and preparing them for success on the AP French exam.

16 of 40

Every level of Notre histoire is built around stories.

17 of 40

Each story...

  • Targets high-frequency structures
  • Relates to an AP theme and essential questions
  • Takes place in a French-speaking community

18 of 40

Notre histoire has the resources teachers need to facilitate language acquisition and teach culture.

Interview Videos

Scripts and Stories

Panoramas, Authentic Materials, IPAs, Maps, and More!

19 of 40

Throughout all of the levels, students explore French-speaking communities’ unique products, practices, and perspectives.

20 of 40

All of this means that teachers...

21 of 40

Don’t stress over making their own materials or finding materials on the internet...

22 of 40

...and can focus on teaching instead!

But perhaps the most important aspect of Voces is the CHOICE it gives teachers.

TEACHERS can MAKE IT THEIR OWN.

SHAPE IT into what they NEED.
