La vie contemporaine

This AP French study guide covers Francophone life, focusing on rites of passage (baccalauréat, Confirmation, Kanaval), holidays (Bastille Day, Armistice Day, Easter), education systems, and housing. It also prepares students for the exam's free-response questions (email reply, conversation, cultural comparison) related to families and communities, personal and public identities, and contemporary life. Key vocabulary and memory aids are included.
