Are you new to teaching IB French? This curriculum map will help you organize your units and text types. I wish someone shared something like this with me when I first started teaching IB! In this curriculum outline, I shared the 5 IB French themes along with the sub-themes that I teach, the text-types that I teach along with each sub-theme, and specific grammar topics I go over (if applicable). There are many sub-themes that go along with each theme, but for time's sake, these are the ones that

Questions for each chapter of "Un papillon dans la cité" by Gisèle Pineau. Certain questions include the specific page number to further guide students' responses. I use this reading guide with my IB French II HL students. These questions help them prepare for the IB oral assessment, where I will be choosing an excerpt from this book for them to discuss. My reading guide helps ensure that they fully understand the text as well as certain quotes and symbols.

As a teacher of IB French, I integrated past tense review, future tense review, and a grammar point (relative pronouns: qui, que, dont, où) into this week-long project that uses the IB Blog text type as the format. In this packet, there is a prompt that aligns with the Expériences theme (sub-theme: Voyages), along with a rubric, notes on passé composé, imparfait, and le futur, as well as notes on qui, que, dont, où. There is a full template that the students can follow to make their blog pages p

This packet was made for students in French 3 who are taking the FLACS Checkpoint B this year. This could be used for Spanish and Italian as well, you would just have to edit the example conversations. This packet gives a guideline of how to master the speaking portion of the exam. There are example responses, example prompts, copies of the rubrics from NYSAWLA, and a bulleted list of important things to include.

In this bundle, you will receive the following text types for IB French: blog, chronique d'opinion, critique, entretien, lettre amicale, lettre officielle/proposition, brochure/dépliant, tract, journal intime Each text type comes with a template, rubric, prompt, and clear set of instructions. Some come with an additional vocabulary list or graphic organizer.

This is a 22 page packet that covers every French tense: présent, futur proche, passé récent, passé composé (avoir & être), passé réfléchi, imparfait, conditionnel, futur, si phrases (spf, sic, spc), subjonctif. The first part contains notes, and the second part contains practice questions for each tense. The last page is a full list of practice GimKit sets for each tense! I am currently using this with my IB juniors, but feel free to use it with seniors or pick and choose certain pages to do

This is a writing packet made for French students in Level 3 who are going to be taking the Checkpoint B. Since this packet is mostly in English, it can be used for Spanish and Italian classes as well (just skip the part about negatives). This packet gives a list of sentence starters, transition words, useful verbs, connecting words, people, adjectives, places, and two practice Checkpoint B writing prompts.

My seniors LOVED this project. It aligns with the Ingenioisité humaine theme, and science & technology sub-theme. They have to create a commercial promoting a new invention that doesn't currently exist (it doesn't have to necessarily be a good idea, which made some of the commercials very funny.. ex: One group invented a pill that makes you bald, but they presented it with the advantages of "being more aerodynamic"). It was so much fun watching their commercials after all their hard work was d

This packet is made for students preparing for the Checkpoint B exam. All of the information is organized by the following topics: Describing yourself and othersNeighborhoodFamily and friendsPlanning an activityFood & mealsHouse & homeSchoolCommunityTravel and vacationleisure/hobbiesShoppingHealthWeather The packet is in English so it can be used for students taking French, Spanish, Italian, etc. who are taking the Checkpoint exam and want to review for the speaking portion.

I have chosen 5 authentic IB practice photos, one from each theme, labelled the theme, and have written specific questions about each photo/theme to practice Part 2 of the IB oral assessment. I used this with my class and it really helped prepare them for the real thing! I printed the photos for them without the questions, gave them 15 mins to brainstorm, then timed them for 3 mins. After their presentation, I asked them these specific questions about the photo they received and then explained w

This is a multi-day IB French Journal Intime / Diary Entry assignment that aligns with the theme EXPÉRIENCES. This packet starts with a brainstorm page about humanitarian tourism, then includes a visual showing the journal intime format. The next page is a graphic organizer, and after that is a peer-editing checklist, IB writing rubrics, and a section for the final copy. The IB rubrics are in English so that students can familiarize themselves with what IB expects of them. The additional grammar

I created this authentic IB text type assessment for the "Organisation Sociale" theme, but you can change the prompt to reflect whatever theme you're on! The rubric is out of 50, and I counted it as a quiz and only gave them one period (40 mins) to do it. They are also required to add an idiomatic expression (I added examples for them to choose from), and higher-level tenses (they have to write one si-phrase). So, social organization and si phrases would be good to review before giving this asse

This document is a comprehensive list of TIPS and TRICKS to ace the IB French Exam!!! I include example question types (listening and reading), verb tense review, si phrase review, grammar topics, subjunctive examples, a list of text types (for writing) as well as specific information (length of time allotted for each section, word count requirement for SL and HL, the amount of time before each listening to read/interpret questions, how the listening section works, tips for listening, tips for r

I used this IB French tract project when I did the theme: Ingeniosité humain & sub-theme: Les arts. There is a prompt, rubric & template included!

I incorporated this text type into my "Science et Technologie" unit that falls under the Ingenioisité Humaine theme. I created a template, prompt, and rubric for this assignment. My prompt relates to the science & technology sub-theme and a list of related vocabulary words is added to this packet as well. Additionally, there are notes on the Impératif tense as I required students to use it a few times within their opinion-based articles.

This document is all you need for being able to teach students how to write the IB text type, Entretien (Interview). This packet includes a travel vocabulary list (part of the assignment was to integrate specific words into their writing), a prompt that would elicit the choice of "entretien" as the proper text type, a template, and a specific rubric. This assignment aligns with the Expériences theme, and sub-theme: Les voyages. But you can use this template with any theme, just edit the prompt!

This document contains a graphic organizer/labeled template made for students to learn & practice the specific placement of the required elements of an official letter / proposition text type. The included example prompt aligns with the Ingénoisité humaine/human ingenuity unit and the sub-theme Réseaux sociaux (social media). I graded this assignment based on the actual IB rubrics (did not attach as to not copyright the material).

This 7 page packet includes a template, prompt, rubric, and graphic organizer for the IB French Text Type Lettre amicale / Friendly Letter. Additionally, there is an "Enfance" vocabulary list included. I taught this friendly letter text type during the Expériences theme, specifically during the "Souvenirs et enfance" sub-theme. This packet walks students through how to write a friendly letter, and gives them examples of a formule d'appel, formule de conclusion, etc., as well as a visual template

This is a brochure/dépliant text-type assignment that I use with my IB French seniors during the Ingenioisité humain theme. I teach a sub-theme about La Science en Débat and have students choose one of the debatable scientific topics we've been discussing in class and make a brochure to spread awareness about this topic to the community. This assignment comes with a full description of how to make a brochure/dépliant, a visual example/template, and a very specific rubric.

This note sheet creates a great visual for students learning the passé composé. It clearly shows the two parts of the passé composé (helping verb and past participle) and shows them how to write each part. The students will conjugate both avoir & être, write how to form the past participles of ER, IR and RE verbs that are regular, there is a section that identifies the verbs that use être as a helping verb, and the answer key gives each verb as well as its past participle. There is also a sect
