About the store

Experience

16 years experience in teaching French at the high school level. I also have experience teaching English and Social Studies. My store is just getting started at TPT. I really appreciate your feedback and follows!!! French I, II, III, IV/AP

Teaching style

My style of teaching is to immerse students in the target language as much as possible using a variety of interactive/student led activities. I also focus equally on the fundamental grammar components/building blocks of the French language in my instruction. I use current events, pop songs, and culture topics to capture student interest. Finally, I provide support resources and activities for students to use to increase their comfort level when speaking in French My classroom is structured at times and completely student driven at others. I strive to reach all types of learning styles.
