Engage your students in meaningful reading activities while you read in small groups!
With 5 stations and more than 25 different activities, students will improve their reading fluency, practice grammar, and express their text comprehension through art, writing, speaking, and mind-mapping.
Engaging students in meaningful reading response activities allows you to sit in small groups for guided reading without any off-task behaviour. At the end, students can share a portfolio of their responses about a particular book.

This unit uses structures to build fast fluency with new French speakers in any program! It is ideal for any grade of Core French, and early years of Extended or Immersion!

A key strategy for teaching French IN FRENCH is to use a visual cue to indicate when you are speaking which language! If we switch from English to French all the time, students learn that if it is important, the teacher will repeat it in English, so they don't feel the need to listen! I teach all period in FRENCH until a 2 minute check-in at the end. I ONLY SPEAK IN ENGLISH when the sign is in English!
Keep learning french phonemes fun!
After learning about all sorts of French sounds (including a 'zombie apocalypse' as your students all make the French Rrrrrr in the back of the throat), students can celebrate their new accents with a French tongue twister!
It's also a great way to establish an environment where students try new things, support each other, and take risks!
PRO TIP: ask students for non-examples of what encouragement looks like for some great examples of what NOT to do haha

Every teacher who has ever purchased a deck of playing cards knows that it is only a whole deck for about an hour. :) Now with those random decks that are no good for most games, use them to get students speaking!
This deck uses the suits in playing cards (coeurs, carreaux, trèfles, piques) to prompt students to speak with a partner! Project the slides for 30 each, and have student turn over cards in partners to prompt a sentence! Kids loveeeee counting up how many they could get through!

This is the most fun you can have in Core French!
Students really connect with songs by French artists as they explore a YouTube playlist! They pick a song they really love, profile it, make word clouds and collages, then duke it out in a March-Madness style battle of the songs!
