Less than $5 4th Grade French Projects

Cette activité de rentrée s'adresse aux élèves de la 3e à la 6e année et permettra à vos élèves d'apprendre à se connaître en présentant leur « sac brun » à la classe. Cela vous donnera une idée de leur créativité, de leur personnalité, de leur écriture, de leurs capacités de présentation orale, de leurs capacités d'écoute et permettra à vos élèves d'apprendre à se connaître et peut-être de trouver des amis ayant des intérêts similaires. Une EXCELLENTE activité pour les deux premiers jours de l'année scolaire!

Cette activité de six pages comprend :

• Une description de la tâche + et un petit poème
• Un exemple modélisé
• Une feuille de travail sur la description des symboles
• Une auto-évaluation
• Une évaluation par les pairs
• Une évaluation de l'enseignant

Engage students in exploring cultural diversity through enlightening interviews and vibrant creative projects focused on food. Foster empathy, curiosity, and global awareness.

This 13-page project-based (PBL) unit features three assignments for students to explore cultural diversity through:

• "Mon projet de patrimoine familiale": Interviewing their own family members and creating a brochure or pamphlet summarizing their family's traditions.

• Included with this project is a lesson plan with suggestions, rubric, success criteria, a letter to parents (in both English and French) as well as the interview (in both English and French).

• "Mon héritage culinaire": A class recipe book activity featuring your students' traditional recipes used in their families and passed down through generations.

• Included with this project is success criteria with explanations.

• Includes simple recipe template sheet.

• "L'exploration des plats culturels": A project that will have students creating a realistic, informative ethnic cuisine menu.

• Included with this project are 6 short stories about kids around the world and their culinary traditions (Japan, China, Africa, India, Mexico and Greece).

• Also included are success criteria and explanations as well as a rubric.

I use this product with my 5th graders, but teaching cultural diversity, acceptance and global awareness are universal. This project-based resource would work for students in grades 5 through 9.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!

This 20-page ressource will have your students researching Canadian astronauts and astronomers with a series of projects and activities.

In this ressource, you will find:

• Elaborate success criteria and project description.
• Detailed rubric with 4 levels of success.
• A Web-Quest with simple questions and an answer key.
• Cut-out cards with 16 well-known Canadian astronauts and astronomers (your students might pick from a hat or you might prefer to pass them out).
• Detailed informative cheat-sheets I've created for each of those astronauts and astronomers for you to verify their responses (and to avoid you having to look!)
• A self-evaluative task including reflexive questions and self-grading activities.
• A written comprehension piece with questions and an answer key on the history of Canadians in space including important dates, names, missions and events in Canadian space history.
• Graphic organizers to prompt students to verify their sources of information and to keep track of their information.

This set of activities is great to leave with a substitute teacher as it could realistically take 2-3 days and includes ample supportive pieces to allow for an easy sub plan.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!

My (very) low-level middle-schoolers love learning about niche objects and concepts in Core French. I use their interests and personalities to create engaging projects that meet the outcomes. I actively use this particular project with grades 4, 5 and 6 but it could easily be used in a grade 7 or even grade 8 classrooms. If you use Pearson's Échos Pros, this works AMAZINGLY alongside "Ah oui, j'aime ça!"

This 30+ page project will prompt your discussions and activities and will provide your students with engaging, highly visual, clear and simple instructions and examples. My products are not babyish -- this is the main reason I started creating products.

You will find:

• A pre-created WheelDecide game on Bento Box food to practice the sentence structures ("Qu'est-ce que tu apporterais dans ta boîte bento?" "Dans ma boîte bento, j'apporterais...")
• A kinesthetic game: "Qu'est-ce que tu as dans ton sac à lunch?"
• 4 visual lunch bag examples for students to practice the sentence structure ("Qu'est-ce que tu as dans ton sac à lunch?" "Dans mon sac à lunch j'ai...")
• Lunch bag vocabulary - En français with images.
• 2 "Messages du jour" - with prompts for mots amis and mots familiers.
• 2 slides for explaining why we like or dislike with sentence starters.
• Criteria for final project with two options (Drawing or Collage using flyers).

My products consistently grow. Anytime I create a new activity, I modify this document so that it is always up-to-date and complete.

Enjoy!

Your middle schoolers are bored and tired of the same coloring sheets, crosswords, and pumpkin cutouts they've seriously been doing for years. Do them a favor and switch up your Halloween routine with this fun project-based Halloween unit which features cross-curricular content in math and language arts.

In this unit, you (or your sub!) can easily lead an independent, self-guided project for your middle-school students in grades 4 through 8. As with all of my products, you'll never see frilly hard-to-read fonts or babyish images. My products are intended for your students who think they're adults, but aren't quite there! They're loaded with examples and easy-to-understand language.

In this 13-page resource, you'll find the following activities, templates, prompts, examples and tasks that will keep them busy for days!

• "Une maison hantée thématique" - An activity that will get your students brainstorming a theme for their haunted house and a final reflexive activity on making their choice.

• "Donnez des frissons!" - An activity intended to have students stick to their "theme" and give details about the different rooms or areas within their haunted house. This activity should bring to life their design and concept.

• "Le plan d'étage" - A guided example of a building plan including a "légende" with typically used symbols in engineering to construct their one- (or multiple-) storey haunted house on paper.

• Also included is a large-format example to display for your students who need the extra visual supports.

• Also included is a blank sheet for students to draw their haunted house's building plan.

• "Mesures de ma maison hantée" - An activity to push your students' mathematical brains. These activities have step-by-step examples on changing the scale of their "paper" haunted houses to a realistic measurement, as well as calculating the perimeter and area of each of the areas within the house! Formulas are given and explained if you haven't quite got here, yet! This step will include multiplying decimal numbers.

• "Des paragraphes terrifiants!" - This writing activity will have your students thinking about audience and the purpose of writing. Miniature graphic organizers are provided for your students to create descriptive, persuasive and narrative paragraphs as well as a poster project to "sell" their haunted house!

• "Boutique Bouh!" - A series of math activities to boost your students' abilities to estimate and add decimal numbers including:

• Boutique Bouh!'s store prices to be used in 2 other activities:

• Story problems/written problems.

• Building a mathematically specific treat bag!

• "La liste de courses" - An activity that will have your students sticking to a budget when choosing the items they'll need to create the haunted house of their dreams! This activity includes a catalogue of items and prices at a local hardware store, and your students will have to calculate based on quantity, add and multiply decimal numbers, and finalize their total bill which must not surpass 1000$.

• "Potions des monstres" - An activity on ordering decimal numbers from smallest to greatest.
