Great September back to school activity to get your FSL students writing and speaking about themselves to allow you to assess their general level of French, as well as to get to know them as individuals.
Students create a personal coat of arms based on their likes and preferences, and write a sentence about what each graphic represents. It includes opportunities for them to write about their friends, music, favourite foods and hobbies. Students will present their coat of arms to the class, giving the teacher a chance to assess their oral competency as well.
Teaching Notes, suggested timing, recommendations for oral practice and a sample rubric are all included but completely editable for your own class' needs.
If you found this product useful, please take a moment to leave a comment. Your suggestions are always welcome too!
Great idea, for those with an IWB. If you have a document camera & LCD projector, a similar sharing effect could be achieved as well. Thanks for the tip, and the feedback!

Even though I have not used this yet, I can tell my students are going to love it. I teach high school, and I am amazed at how much the students love to color.
