French Thanskgiving Presentation (Le jour de l'action de grâce)

Created by

Bryan Whitney

This French Thanksgiving Powerpoint uses simple French to talk about different harvest festivals in the world, Thanksgiving vocabulary, and includes an activity (with examples) where students draw a turkey and 10 different things that they're thankful for in French. This is great for getting some conversation going around Thanksgiving. There is also a poem that I found, which would be great for more advanced students.

Experience

Teaching style

In French I err more towards the communicative style of teaching and learning, though I feel that a good solid base in grammar is also important. I tend to use lots of visuals, stories, gestures (I am learning more and more about the AIM method, which I feel has a lot of great elements, though I wouldn't say that I use it all of the time.), games, songs, and art. I believe that learning should be active and engaging for all of my students. It's important for me to find a balance between keeping my classes interesting and creative (sometimes downright crazy), yet also providing a clear structure for those who need it. I'm very thankful to be teaching a subject that provides so much flexibility and can open up so many doors to my students.

My own education history

I have a BFA in Art with an emphasis in graphic design from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I also have a bachelor's degree in French and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Montana. I am certified to teach both Art and French K-12 in the state of Montana.
