Dear Eagles:
Bastille Day will soon be upon us!!! Bastille Day is July 14.
And so I ask the inevitable question....how will you personally celebrate Bastille Day?
Will you wave a French flag?
Will you text in French?
Will you eat a croissant?
Will you write Mr Boulden an email in French?
Will you finish A Tale of Two Cities?
Bastille Day is really big news in France. There is a parade that goes down the Champ Elyse--the famous Paris boulevard. Unlike most other parades it is a military parade, full of French pomp. Considering the fact the French haven't won a war since the days of Napoleon a French military parade is quite remarkable.
Go to the web site that I posted under interesting web sites (right hand column) and take a look at clips from a previous year's parade.

We can charter a private jet and have our Tuesday practice on the "Avenue des Champs-Élysées"!
ReplyDeleteThe croissant idea is pretty good though.
Or we can have a Book Party for A Tale of Two Cities and eat what French prisoners were given!
They were fed stale croissants.
ReplyDeleteMr Rodriguez
We could have or own parade. :)
ReplyDeleteI personally would like to attempt speaking some phrases in French for the 14th although I may end up butchering them altogether =/ Another interesting idea may be an actual reenactment of The Storming of the Bastille, although I don't how far we can go without breaking some sort of law down the line =/
ReplyDeleteWe can act like the people that stormed the Bastille. Maybe have like a small play with the king and all the estates or maybe our sections can be divided into estates and someone can be the king and people who represents everyone else.
