Passé composé vs. imparfait worksheets

When I was in h.s. I used texts for grammar. After years of drifting away from grammar, I see more and more the benefit of strong grammar. This is for students to apply the concept and compare the tenses. This is a 4 page set to help students work (rather than the teacher doing all the work) Grammar: passé composé vs. imparfait. I wanted a work(ing) sheets that encourages work from the students, and involves revisions and thinking. page 1- rewriting standard explanations of the two tenses (note

I cannot find scenes on the internet for simple story telling, so I made my own really SIMPLE picture, with a story.(I told the student it was my educational folk art!")I like to get a lot of use out of any SCENE visuals, because they are so hard to find, so this scene (really simple, but effective) has 6 activities attached: 1. reading a story (teacher directed) 2. dictation (teacher directed) 3. reading the "picture" (modeled by teacher) 4. students reading the picture (student) 5. pronunciati

This could be homework, a quiz, or an activity. This has a word bank, a fill in paragraph. Students familiarize themselves with the words, (pair work) then try to fill in the paragraph. After they also look for cognates (all students at all levels can contribute here) I also include opening sentence discussion (how to write a paragraph). I have also an answer key. Enjoy!

I like to think of this activity as putting the "POWER" back into Powerpoints. I use these as warmup exercises each day, to focus the students, and to foster oral communication. This is for at least a week's worth of warmup exercises. There are 6 slides, packed with student geared exercises. I will often quickly change the slides to match a class' needs. I included answers for a couple of slides, so the teacher can see what my pics refer to. You can quickly delete them when you see what my

Basic here. I needed to make an explanation page for the lesson, and I like to include "bonus" features for those who are more advanced, or who bore more easily. So this 1 page has the present/past, with some good expressions used. Thanks for taking a look-see, become a follower, and check out my other activities!

This started out as a Spanish lesson, but I liked it so much I put the activity into English as well. It can be used by ESL classes, or be used as a mini lesson for any class! This lesson came about when I presented the (KWL) chart to students, and their desire was “to learn how to say I am allergic to foods.” I honored that with this lesson plan! I try to make it simple I hand out the first page to students For a few days, I read choices from the right side, “I cannot eat nuts.”and the stud

I have transitions for the slides, and sounds too. Take any and all out if you wish. I only ask that you don't use my pics for other worksheets (thanks in advance). I inserted letters in the sentence spaces, and you can simply rewrite whatever you want in the bulleted areas, to make the template really user friendly. Here are the basic ideas:

Experience

Teacher of foreign language for 30+ years subjects: French, Spanish

Teaching style

For me t’s all about creating “working “sheets, not worksheets. I try to create activities where the student has to do more of the work, rather than just filling in a quick answer. It really is true to work smarter not harder for the teacher! I also think that when we talk about skills and skill teaching, it’s more than just memorization and recognition which are skills, but there are other skills: listening, sound recognition, spelling, solving a problem, sharing, information, and more One example is when I taught vocabulary and grammar surrounding travel, I told the students “you might not remember the French, but I’m gonna teach you how to book a flight, how to plan what you’re going to do on that trip, and how to write a letter if your luggage is lost.” It’s that kind of skill also that I tried to focus on.
