Name That Tense is an activity for reviewing verb tenses with your advanced French students. These 200 practice cards provide a challenging AP or French 4 review. You can use this activity on a few different levels. The most challenging way is to use the cards written in English, have students name the French tense that needs to be used, then have them translate the sentences to French. You may choose to use the cards written in French, and simply have students identify and name the tenses they read.
These practice cards provide an excellent opportunity to review the answers together, and to explain why each tense was chosen for a particular sentence. The files are easy to share with your students for distance learning.
The first 50 cards use these tenses: le présent, l’imparfait, le futur simple, le passé composé, le conditionnel, le plus-que-parfait et le conditionnel passé.
The second 50 cards use all of the tenses mentioned above, and also include cards using: le futur antérieur, le subjonctif, le subjonctif passé, l’impératif, et le passé récent, and many si clauses are included.

The personal description of the personnage in this activity can either be used a speaking or writing prompt. Reading and listening comprehension included.
Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with good ideas for creative story-telling or imaginative writing. Very often, we’re so focused on producing correct grammar that we forget how much fun it can be to tell stories! If you’ve been looking for creative prompts to get the ball rolling for your upper-intermediate level students, I know you’ll have fun with this resource. It includes a story to listen to and read along, then students can complete listening comprehension and 1st conditional SI CLAUSE activities. Read on to find out more how you can use this resource for creative writing and speaking.
Here’s what you need to know about MANON:
c’est une jeune femme de 20 ans

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Read the personal details about MANON, an interesting personnage.
STEP 2: Once you know MANON’S background, complete the si clause prompts provided. They all begin in the futur simple, and you should finish them in the present tense. This step will help you build up to writing a story!
STEP 3: Listen to a story about MANON. Don’t read the text yet. Just listen, and see how much you can understand.

Spanish Primary Writing Program - Mi restaurante preferido es…
Theme: Mi restaurante preferido es…
This one week SPANISH writing program will have your students writing every day of the week, and is perfect for Spanish immersion. The writing activities in this program include five prewriting and writing activities for Monday through Friday. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Provide each student with a “párrafo de la semana” folder and have them add to it every day as you give them daily assignments. At the end of the week have them turn in their folders.
Here’s how this program works:
Lunes: Dibujo - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration!
Martes: Mi folleto de vocabulario - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used Spanish words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it.
Miercoles: Vocabulario - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Palabras de vocabulario útiles: Voy a utilizar estas palabras en mi párrafo".
Jueves: Mi borrador - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections.
Viernes: Mi borrador final - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing: quién - qué - cuándo - dónde - por qué - cómo
