La Bise: Bryan is an American who is visiting France. He doesn't want to be rude, so he's prepared himself for the French custom of La Bise. But unfortunately, he didn't listen to the entire explanation in French class! Bryan's trip starts out fine but his cultural misunderstandings get him into more and more trouble.

La Baguette Magique: Each day, the local baker sells one special bread - the "baguette magique." And each day, the recipient sees something special happen in his or her life. Joseph wants to learn the secret of the bread, but the baker tells him it will take time.

La Belle Soeur: Lucie and Annie are sisters. Annie is very jealous - she will get her revenge on her popular sister in a devious plan that involves mud, bacon and blue dye.

This Extra French activities bundle includes activities for episodes 9-13 of the French version of the show.  Includes comprehension and vocabulary activities to make each episode more useful.

The show Extra! is a thirteen-episode series for French language learners. it takes place in a Paris apartment/dormitory and has four main characters - Sam, Nico, Sacha, and Annie. Sam is an American who is trying to learn French as well as to make some new friends. He has a secret that will affect the way he relates to other people.

Each episode can stand alone, although it is more interesting to start from the beginning and watch them in order. I spread the episodes out over the course of a semester, but you could do them more or less frequently.

I usually show these to my second-year students during the second semester. They have enough vocabulary to understand most of the dialog by this time. As the season goes on, Sam's French skills improve - and the level of language used by the characters also goes up.

The worksheets provide comprehension checks but also scaffolding resources.

For each episode you will find activities such as:

• vocabulary list with English translations

• vocabulary list with no translations - have students fill in while watching

• comprehension questions in French

• comprehension questions in English

• flashcards for the vocabulary list

• a word spiral puzzle

• a crossword puzzle

• fill in the blanks

• Scrambled sentences

• a word search puzzle

There are many places to view the episodes, YouTube has them in both sub-titled and non-subtitled versions. For lower-level students, I would suggest the version with French subtitles.

This French Extra activities bundle includes activities for episodes 5-8 of the French version of the show.  Includes comprehension and vocabulary activities to make each episode more useful.

The show Extra! is a thirteen-episode series for French language learners. it takes place in a Paris apartment/dormitory and has four main characters - Sam, Nico, Sacha, and Annie. Sam is an American who is trying to learn French as well as to make some new friends. He has a secret that will affect the way he relates to other people.

Each episode can stand alone, although it is more interesting to start from the beginning and watch them in order. I spread the episodes out over the course of a semester, but you could do them more or less frequently.

I usually show these to my second-year students during the second semester. They have enough vocabulary to understand most of the dialog by this time.

As the season goes on, Sam's French skills improve - and the level of language used by the characters also goes up. The worksheets provide comprehension checks but also scaffolding resources.

For each episode you will find activities such as:

• vocabulary list with English translations
• vocabulary list with no translations - have students fill in while watching
• comprehension questions in French
• comprehension questions in English
• flashcards for the vocabulary list
• a word spiral puzzle
• a crossword puzzle
• fill in the blanks
• Scrambled sentences
• a word search puzzle
