Also use for small group interventions, literacy work stations, centers, pullouts with parapro, and/or tutoring. This alphabet arc mat can be used to develop the following skills: letter recognition, letter sequencing, letter sounds, and consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word building. Improve students' Spanish literacy skills! All with cute rainbow theme! TIP: I would print this on a heavier duty regula

This is a very well organized PowerPoint that has lots of information but in a CLEAR and EASY to understand way. The PowerPoint is divided up so that you can just present -ER verbs and then -RE and -IR at a later date. But you can also present them all at once if that is how you are working through your curriculum. Conjugating regular verbs is explained with a tagline to help them remember what to do each time they conjugate this type of verb. TWO summary pages are provided at the end. These

Here is a great rubric for a Family Tree Project. It is easy for both the teacher and student to understand. Once you have passed this out to each student have them staple it to their project when they turn it in. Makes grading easy-peasy! A second page is included for working on their draft sentences. A great way to work together as a class and prepare. Some students may need the extra structure as a requirement while other students may be encouraged to venture "Above and Beyond" these sentenc

Running Dictation is a great SPEAKING, LISTENING, WRITING, and READING activity that also has kids practicing Adjective Agreement. At the end show the KEY (included) on your overhead screen and have students check each others' papers.

Here is an AMAZING packet with fun fully-French St. Valentin resources: -Terms of endearment (classics like "mon trésor" and "ma cherie" but also less common ones that will make you and your kids smile "mon minou" and "ma cocotte" to name a few). -Love lines/phrases: a collection of "je t'aime parce que..." phrases that your students can choose from (since French is the language of LOVE isn't it best to say your words of love in French? Mais oui!). -Printable French St. Valentin cards that ar

Review French 1 materials using this fun Running Dictation activity. Students will practice SPEAKING, LISTENING, WRITING, and READING while reviewing vocabulary and grammar concepts from French 1. Fun way to review instead of just looking at a vocab sheet or filling in blanks. Directions for this activity are included. Takes 5 minutes to set up. My students LOVE it! RE-USE these same prompts/letters for other activities including as examples of letters they can write. Practice by only switchi

Here are some activities from the Bien Dit textbook, workbook, quizzes, and test. No test items are given directly as they would be given on the test but with a twist (a test audio prompt might be given here as a comprehension activity, etc). Give this as a handout or better yet post it on your website for students to access and fill in digitally (SAUVONS DES ARBRES!). Use in the computer lab on a block day (individually or with a partner) or have students do it as homework. They can then e-

Are you struggling to come up with a creative project for your unit on descriptions? Here is a fun one that kids love! Create a WANTED POSTER for a teacher, celebrity, family member, criminal, or alien abductor! Use the poster outline that has been created for them. Included is the poster itself, an example poster, directions, and a height/weight conversion chart. Ideal for beginners and even more advanced students.

Create this Passé Composé ETRE Verb wheel with your students as a helpful tool for learning which verbs use ETRE as a Helping Verb in the Passé Composé. This wheel will help students develop 'muscle memory' with the 17 special VANDY verbs. It even constantly reminds them to do AGREEMENT. I have found that by using this consistently, students have greater long-term success with VANDY verbs (Passé Composé with Etre). Enjoy! -Also check out the Passé Composé AVOIR and Futur Proche WHEELS-

Here is a SONG PACKET for what is probably the most CLASSIC French love song of all time. It is so timeless that it was used in the recent film Wally as background music. Kids who don't know this song...just won't know. And we don't want them to be culturally clueless. But this packet introduces a twist. Along with introducing the famous Edith Piaf version it also introduces a catchy modernized version of the song (this new version is one of my favorites). Music is one of the best ways to get y

Use this reorganized document to practice activities from Bien Dit 1, Chapter 2. Some of these are already in the student Workbook. I made separate documents because my students did not have hard copies. Use for review or as a quiz.

Use Project Moi to review French 1 materials at the beginning of the school year. Review likes/dislikes (activities, food, colors, etc), family members, and more. Using this brainstorming sheet students will create fun posters to introduce themselves to you, their teacher, and to one another. This is both a SPEAKING, WRITING, and LISTENING activity for your class. Change the dates on the document to accommodate your class schedule. You can also use this at the END of French 1 as a END OF YEAR

Give this as a handout or better yet post it on your website for students to access and fill in digitally (SAUVONS DES ARBRES!). Use in the computer lab on a block day (individually or with a partner) or have students do it as homework. They can then e-mail you their results or print the document out for you to check. Kids STILL needing EXTRA HELP? Fill out the TUTORING HOURS section on the handout so that everyone is very clear about when they can come in for extra review.

Teach kids the different ways that adjectives agree in French while giving them a GREAT list to use. Expand their vocabulary while giving them a visual chart to use/study with. Make understanding adjective agreement (and a few variations). Make your kids use colors when changing to feminine to help with the visual differentiation. This REALLY HELPS. I recommend this resource to every French teacher. KEY is included. Can walk through this chart with kids using the key or show the key afterwards

Here is a great list of MUST SEE locations in Paris. This can be used to pass out to students for Paris Projects so that students branch out and learn about more locations than just the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Louvre. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE... Page two of this document is a Scavenger Hunt. Use this to kick-start a unit on Paris or individualized Paris projects. It helps ALL students get a little familiar with ALL of the MOST famous locations in addition to a few more obscure ones. After

Create this Passe Compose AVOIR Verb wheel with your students as a helpful tool for learning how to use AVOIR as a Helping Verb in the Passe Compose. This wheel will help students develop 'muscle memory' with the general Passe Compose before moving on to verbs that use ETRE as a helping verb. I have found that by using this consistently, and then having the second "Passe Compose ETRE Manipulative: Verb Wheel" students have greater long-term success with distinguishing their general AVOIR helping

This vocab sheet has been organized into categories that make studying much easier. The vocab included is that from Bien Dit French Level 1, Chapter 3. There is some added vocabulary as well to enrich the chapter. This is one of my best re-workings of the Bien Dit vocab sheets! Grammar concepts have been given space (verb conjugations, possessives, adj agreement...) and Question/Answers have been organized so that it is easy to know which go together. I like to print vocab sheets on COLORFUL

Do you need a review sheet for your French 1 students using the Bien Dit textbook? Here are 4 pages worth of activities that have been taken from the Bien Dit quizzes, workbooks, and test (nothing is identical to the test items though some are very similar). Students can work through this packet to prepare for the test. My surveys have found that even if you do not go over the correct answers students will see marked improvement on the test because it gives them FOCUSED review. I usually let

This is a Skit Rubric to help your students review what they learned in the early chapters of BIEN DIT. It is a review for chapters 1-5. There are three pages: one for the overhead with the rubric and general directions, one with rubrics (2 per page to save paper), and one with teacher tips for this activity. This skit has a movie making option for students with teacher tips on how to work this part of the project. EXCELLENT REVIEW and it gets you kids SPEAKING FRENCH! Pairs well with this
