11th Grade French Lesson

There is a monster under the bed! That is scary for any kid, but how does the monster feel about having a little girl on top of the bed? Find out in this Comprehensible Input video lesson for French learners.

This item includes a story with targeted vocabulary structures that are used multiple times throughout the story. The structures are:

• sous le lit - under the bed

• j’ai peur - I’m scared

• il y a - there is/there are

• sur le lit - on the bed

This very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version. Tell the story as you watch it (pause if you want to stop and discuss or storyask!), or just watch it for comprehension. The video is just over 5 minutes long, with pause time for students to read the text. There is a second version of the video with only the illustrations - no text - so you can watch it and do story retells.

To accompany the video and printed story, there are several activity pages - a comprehension worksheets, a "who said it?" worksheet, and a story retell page. Answer key included.

To sum it up, the item includes:
✓ one mp4 file of the story with text
✓ one mp4 file of the story without text
✓ link to videos online so your students can rewatch on their own
✓ printable pdf story
✓ comprehension question worksheet
✓ "who said it?" worksheet
✓ story retell worksheet
✓ answer key

With many people doing distance learning these days, you might wonder if it is possible to use this story in this way. The answer is YES! Here are some suggestions on how you can make this work:

- Use the pdf of the story as reading practice. You might have students read it before or after you use the video.

- Use Zoom meeting (or whatever software of your choice) to tell the story with the video. Share your screen with the mp4 file. There is no sound for the video, this is done purposely so that you can use the story for storyasking. Tell the story a little at a time, pausing the video frequently to ask questions. This will help you to circle the vocabulary and structures. Add details! If the sentence says "there is a monster under the bed" - ask questions such as "is there a monster or a dog? Is the monster under or on the bed? What kind of a monster is it - big or little? Scary or nice? What is his name? Is there a monster under your bed? What kind of a monster is under YOUR bed?"

- Once you have done the storyasking part of the task, now it is time for the students to do the comprehension and retell. These are pdf files that you can send to the students. You can also share the link to the page with the mp4 stories, so the students can watch the video on their own - with or without the text - and practice retelling.

- Finally, you can have students do the retell. This can be done through Zoom, or you could have them use Flipgrid to record.

Practice French using pronouns in context - Intermediate level activity

This is a three part French lesson for intermediate level students that will assess three different skills: listening, reading, and choosing grammatically correct pronouns in a given context. It is a good idea to wait and have students check their answers once all three steps of this activity have been completed. Once the whole activity has been completed, they may want to go back and change some of their answers before checking them against the answer key. This activity is more challenging than a typical series of sentences pulled out of context. Students will really need to follow the story in order to use the correct pronouns.

This text is written in the present, futur proche, and passé composé tenses with an occasional conditional (voudrait, aimerait) and an occasional futur simple (sera, seront).

The pronouns used in this activity are as follows: LE - LA - LES - LUI - LEUR - Y - EN - ME - TE - SE - NOUS - VOUS - MOI - TOI - ELLE - EUX.

Included:

• Lesson plan
• Audio recording - Comprehension questions - 6 minutes
• Written copy - Comprehension questions - 1 page - 24 questions
• Audio recording - Le dîner de Stéphane - 3.5 minutes
• Written text - Le dîner de Stéphane - 1 page
• Multiple choice exercise - Le dîner de Stéphane - 4 pages
• Fill in the blanks exercise - Le dîner de Stéphane - 1 page
• Answer keys

Step 1: Listening comprehension

1. Before having students listen to the reading, be sure to have them listen to the audio recording of the comprehension questions to know what to be listening for in the reading. I am including a written copy of the comprehension questions in case your students feel stuck and really can’t understand.

2. Have students listen to the reading once without trying to answer the questions.

3. Pause and replay the parts of the recording they didn’t understand, and remember that many pronouns are being used. They will need to pay very close attention to context. Tell them they'll have an opportunity to change their answers if they want to in the next step.

4. Have them listen to recording of the comprehension questions again, one question at a time. They should try to answer as many of them as they can, and don’t hesitate to go back to the reading to listen again for details.

Step 2: Reading comprehension

1. Students read the text all the way through, then go back and have a look at their answers to the comprehension questions. They can listen to them again if needed.

Step 3: Pronouns exercise

1. Complete the multiple choice exercise.

2. Once they’ve finished the multiple choice activity you can give them a final challenge and have them complete the fill in the blank exercise.

3. Now it’s time for students to check all of their answers using the answer keys provided.

1. Vocabulary List: Kickstart the lesson with a curated list of 25 French Job-themed words.
2. Repetition-Based Learning: Utilize the power of repetition to solidify vocabulary retention. Students will practice writing place words multiple times, enhancing their memory and fluency.
3. Decoding Secret Message: Pictorial symbols provide visual cues that help learners associate meaning with the target language vocabulary. By decoding a message using symbols, learners reinforce their understanding of the language's visual representation.
4. Short Answer: Provide an opportunity for students to apply the vocabulary in meaningful ways. By constructing responses, students connect the vocabulary to specific contexts, demonstrating their understanding of how the words are used. This application helps with recall and enhances their ability to use it effectively.
5. Code Breaker: Decoding the vocabulary is like solving a puzzle. It encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as learners work to match the symbols to the correct letters to form vocabulary while providing ongoing review and reinforcement.
6. Matching: Learners make connections between words and their translations. By actively associating and pairing words together, learners establish meaningful connections that enhance their understanding and retention of vocabulary.
7. Crossword Puzzle: When students create a crossword puzzle, they actively engage with the vocabulary words. They must think about the meanings of the words, consider their spelling, and create clues that correspond to each word. This active involvement promotes deeper processing and understanding of the vocabulary.
8. Magic Square: Learners must analyze the available options and find the correct matches. This process stimulates critical thinking, encourages logical reasoning, and enhances cognitive skills, all while reinforcing the vocabulary.

Keep your students engaged and quietly learning even if your substitute has ZERO French skills!

*Answer key is included only for the Secret Message, Magic Square and Short Answer activities. Answers will vary for other activities.

For novice high learners, you can add more details or write a parallel story. You could even use this story at higher levels by having students retell the story in the past.

French Practice Cards: BON - BIEN - MEILLEUR - MIEUX

This is a set of 25 cards for practicing and mastering BON - BIEN - MEILLEUR - MIEUX.

That's why this stack of cards is great for upper-intermediate and even advanced students!

This resource does not incorporate the superlative. When using meilleur and mieux, we are really focusing on how to say "better" in French.

I have also made a 45 minute video that you can find on YouTube that would be perfect to show before pulling out these cards which I made specifically to accompany this very comprehensive lesson.

This emergency sub lesson plan is packed with fun and interactive activities that will enrich your students' French Around Town vocabulary.
Here's what's included in this ready-to-use resource:

1. Vocabulary List: Kickstart the lesson with a curated list of 25 French Place-themed words.
2. Repetition-Based Learning: Utilize the power of repetition to solidify vocabulary retention. Students will practice writing place words multiple times, enhancing their memory and fluency.
3. Drawing and Labeling: Tap into your students' artistic side as they sketch and label an entire town with their new words. This activity promotes creativity while reinforcing vocabulary and spelling.
4. Decoding Secret Message: Pictorial symbols provide visual cues that help learners associate meaning with the target language vocabulary. By decoding a message using symbols, learners reinforce their understanding of the language's visual representation.
5. Alphabetizing: Alphabetizing vocabulary requires active cognitive processing. Students must analyze the words, compare their initial letters, and determine their correct placement in the alphabetical sequence. This cognitive engagement deepens understanding and promotes stronger memory connections with the vocabulary terms.
6. Short Answer: Provide an opportunity for students to apply the vocabulary in meaningful ways. By constructing responses, students connect the vocabulary to specific contexts, demonstrating their understanding of how the words are used. This application helps with recall and enhances their ability to use it effectively.

La Randonnée - Hiking in the mountains

• You are out hiking along a trail in the mountains, and you lose your balance and fall down. You may have sprained your ankle, and you can’t walk. Fortunately, you have your phone with you! You decide it would be a good idea to call a friend for help and to see if he can come and pick you up.

In the video, students will listen and read along as a typical French dialogue unfolds during une randonnée in France.

As students listen to the conversation, listening comprehension will improve, and they will learn lots of new vocabulary words and expressions. This is really the way French people interact, though it may never have shown up in the textbook!

The video lasts approximately two minutes, and it is easy to pause so that everyone has a chance to study the text.

The speech is not too fast in this video, and all of the words are written on the screen in French and with English translations.

The grammar in this conversation is quite varied. However, French learners at any level can learn a lot and benefit from these conversations through context. Your students will find the English translations to be most helpful, and they will see how it is nearly impossible to give direct translations from French to English.

LESSON PLAN (as you explain it to students):

Step 1: Watch the video and read along as you listen to the conversation. When you don't understand a word, just look down at the English translation. Be sure to take notes! It's ok if you don't understand all of the grammar. Just try to pay close attention to how the sentences are put together and how we do it differently in English.

Step 2: Listen to the audio recording without looking at the words and translations on the video. Do you remember what the words mean? You can use this recording to practice and fine tune your listening skills

Step 3: Print out the fill in the blank exercise, and write in the missing words as you listen to the recording. An answer key is provided. Once you have done this a few times, I challenge you to get out a blank sheet of paper and try writing it all! Just have that pause button ready!

Step 4: Read over the role play situation with a partner. Study the page with helpful French sentences and expressions, and invent your own dialogue. You can use some of what you learned in the video in your conversation!
