By Cheryl Bennett
Smash Doodles are a great way to assess French reading while encouraging creativity. I love using this at the end of the year to demonstrate that a student can read independently and show what they know. Plus, it's easy to grade!
The set up for these Smash Doodles (along with the rubric) make it easy to grade.
Included:
1. Instructions
2. Sample sentence starters (including a couple that would be great for subjunctive practice)
3. Sample image
4. Smash Doodle Sheet that students fill out to make sure they meet all the criteria.
5. A second Smash Doodle Sheet that allows for more creativity
6. Easy to use rubric.
7. Criteria that pushes students to think critically and make use of best practices in reading comprehension.
So, what is it?
A Smash Doodle is a way to show what students have learned from the chapter or reading assigned. It involves creativity, color, the most important vocabulary, students' thoughts and questions.
Who is it for?
This assignment works for any level of French students. Any reading assignment can work with Smash Doodles. It can be used with novels meant for early language acquirers, short stories, poetry, etc. This assignment is automatically differentiated as students will choose the vocabulary that they need and not simply a list dictated by the teacher.
What does the assignment include?

First Day of School "Language Talk"
By Language Arts Excellence
Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin Chinese, this is the perfect lesson to get your students thinking about the purpose of studying foreign languages!
This product features an engaging "Language Talk" activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about the purpose of learning languages and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for what I expect in class - it is a great way to gain insight about their current attitudes towards speaking another language while they get to know one another with a higher level thinking activity as opposed to the same-old, same-old icebreaker.
Product includes:
Though I utilize this product on the first day of school, it really can be used all year long. I hope that it is as successful in your class as it is in mine!

French semester 1 review game - beginning French review snowman game
By Frenchified
Your students will enjoy practicing French semester 1 topics in this French snowman game! As they complete the tasks, they will gather the objects needed to build a snowman. The game is self-grading and students will need to get all of the answers correct in order to move on.
There are 5 different challenges. The tasks will have students using different skills to practice the topics and vocabulary commonly taught in a first semester French course. Each task will help the student gather an item to build a snowman.
**Task 1: **Listen to the audio and select the correct image of school supplies.
**Task 2: **Read the information about the people and their favorite activities and match the images
Task 3: Match the digits to the numbers
Task 4: Play "memory" to match the French sentences with the image of the clockk face
**Task 5: **Place the verbs in the correct position to complete the paragraph - avoir, être and ER verbs.
At the end of the game, the students will have 5 different objects. They will use the objects to build a snowman. After they complete the snowman, they will see a screen of a cup of hot chocolate and a congratulations note. As the game does not track student data, you will want them to take a screenshot as proof of completion.

Lists of possible ways to use the vocabulary and activities to be used today
Key Features:
How to Use:
(See embedded video in slide as well.)
Bell Ringers - Daily Journals for French class.
Day 1: Show them the presentation and model for them.
Day 2:
Print, copy, and have them ready for students as they walk in.
Saving on paper? Copy machine never works? Download the slide as a png and have students write on them on a touchscreen device or their own papers. My students use the app Chrome Canvas on their Chromebooks. I loan styluses to students during class. They aren’t too expensive. Some students just write with their fingers. (Please see my terms of use for using digital downloads.)
Day 2: Discuss the responses as a class. If you need to repeat Day 1 for the talking part for a few days, that’s okay. They will get it.
Days 3-5: Continue discussing responses after the journal each day. This will help them with writing and speaking.
Days 6 and on (or when you know they are ready): When used consistently, students will be able to speak with the phrases very quickly. Have them sit in groups and discuss their journals as you walk around the room. I often keep track of points on Class Dojo and give them a goal to shoot for.
Scaffold so that students will be able to talk without the journal eventually.
Use the words and phrases that they have learned in other activities.
Add the questions and answers to write stories as a class or individually. I tell students to include the day, date, weather, etc. in all of their stories.
Ask students what another student said work on other perspectives, i.e. I, you, he, she, etc.
Student A: Je me sens triste.
Student B: Elle dit, «Je me sens triste.» or «Elle se sent triste.»
For Conversation:
Day 1: Show them the presentation and model for them.
Every day: Start with the journal at the beginning of each period. I usually do this for a few weeks. It will help with the conversation cards.
Day 2: Discuss the responses as a class.
Scaffold - Gradually, have students talk without the aid of the journal. I generally let students use their journals for 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the level, before having them talk without their work in front of them.
Slide 13 - Ask, Ask, Trade- Each student gets a card and switches cards throughout the activity to practice various types of weather..
Student A: «Comment est-ce que tu te sens?» (Or teach the formal «Comment est-ce que vous vous sentez?» (This could be on the board in front so students can refer back to it as they learn it.)
Student B (who has a happy face): , “Je me sens heureux.” or “heureuse.” Then Student B asks: “Comment est-ce que tu te sens?”
Student A (who has a sad card): “Je me sens triste.”
Students A and B exchange cards and find new partners.
During Ask, Ask, Trade- After students have had more practice with the cards, have them tell new partners what previous partners said. (Ex: Je me sens triste mais Sarah se sens grincheuse.)
Win, Lose, or Draw: Draw a conversation card from a pile. Draw it on the board and class guesses. Students or the teacher can draw.
Aïe! Game Instructions are included when slides are in “edit” mode.
