CORE FRENCH | FSL | COMICS | BANDE DESSINÉE | BD | HALLOWEEN | ÉCRITURE/WRITING
By French Made Fun!
Getting your Core kids to write something authentic and meaningful can be one of the toughest parts of teaching Core... At least it was for ME!
This themed unit will give the students transferrable knowledge for their LA classes and will guide them to creating their very own "bande dessinée" with a spooky twist.
In this 14-pg. unit, you'll find:
A mini dictionary of 30 common words, expressions and dialogue they can use related to Halloween/scary stories;
An activity on developing personality traits & mood;
Students will become familiar with vocabulary for different moods and feelings en Français (nerveux, triste, drôle, déterminé etc.)
A visual dictionary of common Halloween costumes to inspire their stories;
8 examples of possible scene/setting choices to inspire their stories;
A guide to developing scene and setting with our 5 senses;
Students will become familiar with vocabulary for our 5 senses en Français (l'ouïe, le toucher, le goûter, l'odorat, le goûter, la vue).
A personal dictionary;
Plot design;
A collection of speech bubbles, thought bubbles, starburst, call-outs to cut and paste into their bandes-dessinées;
Two templates of "strips" for their comics.
A Midsummer Night's Dream | A Play Script for Young Performers
By Creative Primary Literacy
This is a play script for William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which has been rewritten to be suitable for ages 9 to 14. The script now also comes with a PDF teacher presentation to help you introduce the play and the characters to your students.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the story of four Athenian lovers who have a complicated yet dramatic love life. Lysander and Hermia loved each other and wished to be together. Helena loved Demetrius, but Demetrius loved Hermia, and Hermia’s father wanted him to marry his daughter.
Hermia and Lysander decided to run off together into the woods. But the woods were haunted by the Fairy King and Queen - Oberon and Titania, and the King’s mischievous henchman, Puck. The play tells the magical story of the eventual coming together of the four lovers, and Duke Theseus and his bride, Hippolyta.

The play script is a mix of modern English with some of the famous lines from the real play mixed in as well. I hope you enjoy it – good luck!
There are 26 speaking roles with parts for the whole class; the language is a mix of Shakespearean and more modern English. Ideal for theatre performances or plays, reading activities or guided reading sessions.
Also ideal for older students who need to know the story better without getting wrapped up in the difficult language - Shakespeare is easy to understand if you understand the story!
