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.
This packet was made for students in French 3 who are taking the FLACS Checkpoint B this year.

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 7 page packet includes a template, prompt, rubric, and graphic organizer for the IB French Text Type Lettre amicale / Friendly Letter.

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
Are you new to teaching IB French and don't know where to start? Here is a curriculum outline that highlights the 5 IB French themes, their sub-themes, and the grammar and text types I do with each sub-theme. Of course, there are tons of sub-themes that align with the overall themes, but I chose the ones I found to be the most important according to readings, writing prompts, and listening questions from past IB exams. If you check out the other listings in my store, I have the text types (and a
