Our French pen pals live in the city of Annecy, France. What do you know about this city? What kind of restaurants are there? Are there movie theaters? What kinds of religions are practiced there? Where do you go if you want to go to a concert? Or go for a walk? Or shop? What kind of schools do they have? Wait…where the heck even is this place?

If you have questions like these about their city…then I’m sure that they have the same about yours!!

We are going to help them out by working with our partners to create a brochure (en français!) with 5 sentences in each section about Pitman.

The following sections will need to be covered within your brochure… Location/Geography

Religion Education Dining Culture Outdoor Recreation

Decide with your partner which three sections each of you will be responsible for.

La Situation et la Géographie (Location and Geography)

Where is Pitman located How far is it from major US cities (i.e. NY,

Phildelphie, Washington, Baltimore) Is it close to mountains? The beach? How many people live in Pitman?
