But so many great French themes are packed in - school, food, revolution.<br /><br />The idea of chopping up <i>Les Misérables</i> for the classroom - no, I don't like it, either. I understand the theory, I think. But it would be better to read it all, but like a series, over time, over years. I like the idea of <i>returning</i> to a book, as part of literary education.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-1525721776249485562019-11-07T16:44:50.175-06:002019-11-07T16:44:50.175-06:00I'll have to read “Le grand Michu” -- I've...I'll have to read “Le grand Michu” -- I've always loved <i>Zéro de conduite</i>.

If it's just to know the story, watch a film version.<br />There are plenty other books to choose if Les Misérables is too difficult for students of that age.
