Are you looking for materials to help your French students with reading and listening comprehension? This unique story and lesson will keep your students' attention, and it is ready to go and doesn't require any prep on your end.

Read and listen to a narrative story in French about Vanessa's daily routine - la routine quotidienne - in the futur simple tense. Students will practice and strengthen reading, writing, and listening skills.

Many different French verbs are used in the present tense including regular verbs, irregular verbs, and reflexive verbs. Some verbs are used with various forms of negation.

This story is available in 6 tenses and in a money-saving bundle:

• Present Tense
• Passé Composé
• Imperfect
• Futur Simple
• Conditional
• Futur Antérieur
• Bundle of all 6 stories

Included:

• MP3 audio recording
• French only text version
• French and English text version
• Gap fill exercise - VERBS
• Gap fill exercise - VOCABULARY

➯ STEP 1: Listen to the audio recording of a typical day in the life of Vanessa. See how much you can understand without reading along. It's only a little more than two minutes long, so you can listen to it a few times if necessary.

➯ STEP 2: Listen and read along at the same time with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 3: Read the French and English version of the text and notice how the sentence structure changes when comparing the two languages. Take note of any new vocabulary or expressions.

➯ STEP 4: Gap fill exercise #1 - Fill in the blanks with verbs as you listen once again to the audio recording. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 5: Gap fill exercise #2 - Improve listening skills and comprehension of syntax while increasing your vocabulary. This time, rather than filling in the blanks with verbs, you will listen closely to all of the other words and write what's missing in the exercise. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

Ready to use French stories save loads of time when you unexpectedly need to miss a day and provide substitute material.

My French stories in 6 tenses are perfect for emergency sub plans that do not require advanced preparation or elaborate instructions. Just print the stories and supplementary materials and you’ll have a fun exercise ready for your students when you can't be there.

BUNDLE and SAVE: 20 Sets of French themed vocabulary speaking questions

Included:

• 30 black and white speaking cards (4 per page to print and cut out)
• 30 color speaking cards (4 per page to print and cut out)
• 11 different ways to use these cards
• PDF version to project and avoid printing (1 card per page to project)
• Scoot game instructions
• Scoot recording sheet

All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities.

There are many ways you can use this set of speaking cards:

➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.

➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.

➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.

➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.

➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.

➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.

➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.

➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
