I am a French native speaker, really enthusiastic about teaching my language and sharing resources. I spent all my childhood in France. I moved to England eight years ago to do a Masters in Education and Modern Foreign Languages. I then did my teacher training (PGCE) in Modern Foreign languages, at King's College, in London and was in charge of the French department in a London private school for many years. I now teach and work as a Housemistress in a British school, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Two versions of the book in the imperfect tense to suit your class (quand j'étais petit et quand j'étais petite).
You can also check the Youtube video I made on the same topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D66r8guvfDc
Some ideas how to use it in class:
- Simply read the story to French beginners
- Work out the meaning of the book in pairs with the pictures as an aid
- Show them the first two pages and identify patterns (which tense is it/what are the endings of the imperfect)
- Only show the picture and ask the students to write a sentence about it in the imperfect tense following the same pattern (then show them the possible answer)
- Ask them to create a similar book in the IT suite or for homework
Please do not hesitate to share more ideas in the messages below! Thank you very much!
I hope you will enjoy my resources and if you have a question on the book, please do not hesitate to contact me or leave me a message. I would really appreciate some feedback :-) Thank you very much.
