Conjugating REGULAR Present tense Verbs in French (ER, RE, IR)

Created by

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

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

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

About the store

Experience

I taught French 1, 2, 3 Honors, and AP/IB during my 5 yearsin Arizona. My last 3 years I mainly taught French 1 and 2. I also taught ESL for a year in Taiwan to kids ages 4-18. I currently teach French for NorthStar Academy an accredited online school with rigorous (and fun) curriculum.

Teaching style

My teaching style is very interactive. I like to use lots of TECHNOLOGY. I also like to use lots of activities that get my students SPEAKING and HEARING the language. Although you see a lot of items labelled with their Bien Dit level and chapter equivalents many of the activities can be used in non-Bien Dit classrooms with non-Bien Dit curriculum. The labels are just there to help out Bien Dit users find what they are looking for faster.
