Author's Purpose Project - Creating an AD to Persuade
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is an integrated project that focuses on the Persuade portion of Author's Purpose. I integrated this project with my science unit (Human Impacts on the earth) and my social studies unit (How people can help our planet). Students were tasked with creating an ad to persuade their audience to help with a world problem (Deforestation, Pollution, etc).
All of the graphic organizers we used, PowerPoints with ads and videos of world problems, and the checklist for the ad is included in this product. The students get to explore ads already created and review them. Then they research some of the world problems. After this they are placed in groups and then using a random wheel, are given a world problem. They then identify the impacts of the problem and come up with some solutions. Then they begin to plan their ad and once approved by their teacher, they began creating their ad!
In my classroom, my students wanted to try and create commercials. So we used the Canva app (usually free for educators) and the students worked together to create their commercials.
I hope this product is useful and gets your students engaged. Please rate and review.
CORE FRENCH | FSL | LOST PET | ANIMAL PERDU | GAME-BASED | 90 PAGES | PROJECT
By French Made Fun!
This newly updated *94 page* unit will cover you for roughly 7-9 Core French 1-hour classes and features a teachable slide deck, worksheets, lesson plans, rubrics, success criteria, a word wall, a phrase wall and numerous suggestions to get your kids having fun, moving, interacting and legitimately enjoying French class with you. The entirety (or parts of) the unit can easily be left with a substitute teacher and you need a quick lesson plan. It's ALL here!
As with all of my Core French products, this one is geared toward a LOW-LEVEL middle-school classroom (grades 3-7). It's high-energy, interactive, highly engaging and requires no prep. It ties in to some science concepts for grades 5 & 6 on biodiversity and adaptations. It features a significant amount of game-based learning and some project-based learning
There are three longer projects included with this unit: "Mon drôle d'animal" which has them building a silly animal and describing its body parts and details; "Mon animal perdu," a poster project which has them creating a poster for their missing pet, and "Une interview à la radio" which has them writing a radio script to find their lost pet with a partner.
Included in this bundle:
Warm-Ups: A collection of 11 worksheets, suggested lessons and activities, and games to support very low-level students who do not yet have basic vocabulary for colors, animals, etc., to get them up to snuff before jumping into the unit.
"Les couleurs" - A personal picture dictionary for students to use throughout the unit.
"Ma maison" - 3 differentiated, independent activities for your students to draw and describe their house.
"Les animaux de la jungle" - An independent colour and vocabulary activity.

"Apprenons les noms des animaux" - 3 pages for students to practice coloring and writing vocabulary.
Lesson Plans: 6 days of explicit lesson plans included. Everything from your prompts, needed material, explanation of tasks, extension opportunities, differentiation ideas, classroom management tips and tricks are included for each day. Each day students have activities, games, worksheets, and projects to work on independently, in partners and in groups.
Slide Deck: 38 pages of highly engaging, game-based learning, that's interactive for you to click and go. In your Slide Deck, you'll find:
"Quel est ton animal de compagnie préféré?" - A listening and speaking activity on showing preferences. Your lesson plan has suggestions for kinesthetic games and a student survey.
"Tapette à mouches" - A 4-Slide group activity for students to find the vocabulary on the board in two large groups. Your lesson plan has suggestions for having your students lead this game.
"Quelle couleur sont les animaux?" - A 10-Slide activity to practice les couleurs in partners. Your lesson plan has suggestions for a kinesthetic game for this activity.
"Bones?! Où es-tu?!" - An engaging, interactive 8-Slide game that will have your students guessing the location of a hidden dog I've hidden behind objects on the slides. Your lesson plan has suggestions for having your students lead this game.
"Qui suis-je?" - Two animal riddles as models for a riddle-creating activity outlined in your lesson plan. Students see, hear and use descriptive language.
"Le projet final" - Your final project build-up has two slides which I use as messages du jour to explain their poster project, and two slides which highlight the expectations.
"Headbandz" - A final fun group game for your students to use descriptive language, with vocabulary prompts, to explain an animal.
Worksheets, Games and Activities: 25 pages of engaging, straightforward worksheets, activities, games, printables, cut-outs, flashcards etc., that match up with your lesson plans.

"Les revêtements corporels" - a cut-and-paste sorting activity to understand 4 body coverings.
"Caractéristiques animales" - a cut-and-paste activity to label animals and their body parts.
"Rapport sur mon animal" - an independent 2-page fill-in-the-blank infographic on a researched animal.
"Animal Cards" - 48 Print, cut and laminate cards for your students to play a number of suggested and explained games including Pictionary, Charades, Memory and Go Fish!
"Word Wall" - 18 Printer-friendly cards with images and vocabulary to add to your word wall, as well as a student version (one page) to be used as a personal dictionary.
"Mur de phrases" - 12 Questions and answers to typical phrases seen in this unit, en Français with English translations. 2 student copies "Comment répondre?" are given with the questions and prompts to answer them. One copy has modelled examples.
Final Project: Students create a poster on their missing animal with specific guidelines to follow. This is the bulk of formal assessment for this unit.
"Ah non! Mon animal est perdu!" - Students are provided with an explanation of the final project task with a checklist as their "success criteria."
"Mon collier d'animal" - Two differentiated versions of this activity that will have students designing their pet's collar for their final project.
"Une interview à la radio" - A partner skit-writing activity where they'll take turns pretending to be the "animateur" and the "invité" and either record their radio interview, present it to the class, present it to you, or use other means like FlipGrid (if your board allows it) to show you their learnings.
"Mon animal perdu" - A formal rubric which focuses on their ability to meet the checklist criteria, to be creative, or to be effective communicators in the radio interview.
