French in a Nutshell is a series of short educational videos to understand how the French language works (followed by some tasks).
The majority of these videos are voiceless so that they can be used in classrooms and/or without sound.
This worksheet/video tackles regular -re verbs in French, with 3 following-up tasks in the video https://youtu.be/4QPFMoMVHdM. The video can be used as a medium for teaching (pausing it to explain further, or to have the pupils do extra activities of your own)
Any feedback or future ideas would be fantastic (as it will be quite a long series!).
Enjoy, and any questions, just ask. Merci !
