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

Valentine SONG PACKET: "La Vie En Rose" Edit Piaf. French Love Song.

Created by

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

Here is a multi-dimensional activity to get your kids using their adjectives both written (and practicing agreement!) and spoken. It also incorporates art which helps visual learners connect vocabulary to context. My students LOVE this activity, especially the speaking because they are getting to use their own original sentences (everyone has something ready to say) and then collecting info to create something new.

This is a song that is very useful in teaching the time, and to act out and have fun with. It has some simple actions you can use with your students. This song is adapted from a Costa Rican song (Tumba tumba). It is so cheesy that it is AMAZING...super catchy tune too. This can be used as a simple enrichment activity, as an 'acting out' activity, as a Language Fair performance activity, and more. Enjoy! A very popular song from the LCF Clubs-Babelzone. http://tiny.cc/receiveTPTcredit

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.
