✐ Le Paragraphe de la Semaine - Primary French writing program ✐ This week long French writing program will have your students writing every day. This writing program includes five pre-writing and writing activities for Monday through Friday. The theme for this set is MON RESTAURANT PRÉFÉRÉ, C’EST…. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Provide each student with a “paragraphe de la semaine” 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. **Check out all of my French “Paragraphe de la semaine” resources! ** Here’s how this program works: ✍Lundi: Je dessine - 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! ✍Mardi: Mon livret de vocabulaire - 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 French 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. ✍Mercredi: Vocabulaire - 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 “ Mots de vocabulaire utiles: J’utiliserai ces mots dans mon paragraphe.” ✍Jeudi: Mon brouillon - 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. ✍Vendredi: Ma copie propre - 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: qui - quoi - quand - où - pourquoi - comment

Forming French questions with interrogative words - 100 Practice Cards

(0)
Forming French questions with interrogative words - 100 Practice Cards This is a set of 100 cards for practicing forming French questions using est-ce que and inversion. All of the cards prompt students to transform a sentence into a question using an interrogative word: qui, que, quand, où, comment, pourquoi, à quelle heure, combien de, de quoi, avec qui, à qui. All of the cards are written in the present tense, and some include negation. Here are the verbs used in this set of practice cards: aimer, préférer, aller, commencer, apprendre, regarder, acheter, avoir, partir, faire, manger, finir, vouloir, parler, étudier, savoir, déjeuner, adorer, travailler, appeler, être, prendre, donner, arriver, et ranger. Most of the time I like to have my students work in pairs or small groups when using these cards, but they are also effective as individual practice. I also like to project these cards and use them as a whole class activity. I’ve included a PDF version so that you can project one card at a time or have students use them on tablets to avoid printing. Answer key is provided.
French verb PRENDRE - Upper intermediate translation exercise

French verb PRENDRE - Upper intermediate translation exercise

(0)
French verb PRENDRE - Upper intermediate translation exercise In beginner French, we teach our students to use the verb prendre when talking about food and drinks and in some of the other most obvious ways. This exercise is not intended for beginners. This resource is for upper-intermediate to advanced students. There are 30 English sentences to translate using the verb prendre in many different ways. Since there are always other ways to translate sentences I have set up the exercise like this. It’s a good way for students to realize that even though grossir means to gain weight, one can also say prendre du poids and it means the same thing. 1. Translate: He’s gaining a little weight. (grossir) : Il grossit un peu. (prendre): Il prend un peu de poids. Answer key is included. Keep in mind that translations can really vary. This exercise will be a good review for building grammatically sound sentences as many different different aspects of the language are included (present, passé composé, futur proche, futur simple, falloir, relative pronouns, lots of idiomatic expressions, and much more).

This game work for any level as it is written in French and English. Want a real challenge for your upper levels or immersion students? Use the French only version! Included: 1 version with vocabulary written in French and English 1 version with vocabulary written in French only Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the game and use it as a whole class activity. This game includes 52 words. Many of the words will be new to your students as this game is meant not only to practice forming questions, but also to build vocabulary. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play until they’re somewhat familiar with the words. After they’ve played the games a few times looking at the French-English version they feel more prepared to move on to the French only version. One student in the small group or class chooses a word on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret word. EST-CE QUE……. … c’est une personne? … c’est un animal? … c’est un minéral? … c’est un endroit? … c’est un aliment? … c’est une plante? … c’est un objet? The student who has chosen the secret word can answer using the following responses: OUI - NON - PARFOIS - RAREMENT - GÉNÉRALEMENT - PEUT-ÊTRE - CELA DÉPEND - PROBABLEMENT Alternative game play: To change up the game and to make it more challenging as well as practicing other skills, have the student who chooses the secret word describe it to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret word, other students listen to the description and guess it.
