Virtually taught a grade 9 applied French course during one "quadmester." Developed interactive games, lessons, discussions, and projects aimed at engaging students- some of whom were native Francophones, and some of whom had no experience with the French language. In doing so, I somehow managed to maintain full classroom engagement right up until the last day of classes!
