This product is a differentiated math mystery that is aligned with the 4th-grade Engage NY/Eureka math curriculum. It includes a scenario explaining what the problem is- an angry mayor has canceled Christmas for the town after being hit with a snowball during his speech at the annual Christmas lighting. The product has a suspect list of 10 people, and 5 clues that narrow down the suspect list to just one person. Each clue has a worksheet A & B and an answer key for all worksheets. Worksheet A for each clue aligns with the standards but at a lower level for students who struggle with this skill. Worksheet B is a more challenging version for higher-level students to offer enrichment. Worksheets A & B look the same; they have the same appearance clues and the letters are in the same spot on the equations. This allows students to work on the same assignment but at their instructional level to allow for more confidence and success. Or, mix and match between the worksheets to use which one best suits the needs of your class to use as whole group instruction. Review math skills in a fun and engaging way this holiday season!

This beefy 125+ page unit on weather and seasons is perfect for your older Core French students who might not have had the luxury of learning this vocabulary and these concepts when they were supposed to. This product (and my other Core French products) are built for exactly that demographic: middle school kids who are too old and "too mature" (so they think!) to be learning these babyish concepts. If this sounds like your demographic -- WELCOME! Look no further.

I teach with a game-based model, and within this unit, you'll have full guided lesson plans showing you how to engage them at every step of the way. This document is divided in two parts: One Slide Deck features interactive games and instructional materials, and a second Slide Deck features all of your lesson plans (including classroom management suggestions, alternative plans, and differentiated models), worksheets, project instructions + success criteria, flashcards + printable games, templates, activities, and word wall vocabulary. I am not your run-of-the-mill crossword puzzles, "find-a-word" and "coloring contest" gal - these games are high energy, encourage movement and will get them (seriously) speaking in French.

Specifically, I cover (in-depth!) everything they need to know about *seasons*(including the verbs we use to talk about seasons - faire, manger, boire, porter), temperatures, weather, seasonal activities, clothing we wear in different seasons, food and drink we enjoy in different seasons, months of the year, days, etc.

Activities and games you'll find included in this mega-unit:

• 4 Coins (or Tapette à mouche) - featuring review material on seasons.

• Énigmes - seasonal riddles.

• In-depth explanation with examples and practice prompts for:

• Le verbe "faire" - and the situations where we use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "manger" - and how to use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "boire" - and how we use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "porter" - and how we use it in context in the present tense.

• "Quel temps fait-il?" - a super fun interactive whole group whiteboard game where your students will click and be directed through a series of questions - testing their knowledge about meteorological conditions!

• "Charades saisonnières" - with explanation and guided prompts (for you!)

• "La poésie saisonnière" - A poetry-writing exercise on using our 5 senses.

• A seasonal activities matching game.

• A reflexive writing activity on seasonal preferences.

• "Des vêtements parfaits" - A worksheet for students to create their dream outfit for their favorite season (#OOTD!)

• A "J'ai... Qui a?" Card game with 28 cards featuring weather, seasons, days of the week and relevant vocabulary to this unit (and a guide sheet for you to make sure it runs smoothly!)

• "Mon cahier sur la météo" - A simple 2-page look into the daily weather and temperature that students can complete independently or as homework.

• Centres activities with direction for you on leading them. Centres include:

• An English-French matching game

• A trivia round

• Weather charades

• Season riddles

• Success criteria for final project, "Ma bande dessinée saisonnière," in which students create a comic strip featuring all 4 seasons and their changes. It comes with worksheets, templates and brainstorming prompts.

• A printable, cut-out word wall featuring 57 words to add to your current wall.
