French Bible Lesson - Acan vole et Israël est vaincu, Josué 7, Homeschooling
By Cheryl Bennett
This resource gives you everything you need to teach Joshua 7 in French and to help students (native speakers or intermediate level) even as young as preschoolers to 1st to remember. The lesson focuses on the Achan and his covetousness and how it led to Israelites defeat. Students will learn about God's faithfulness to His promises.
Included:
1. How to prep:
I printed and laminated the story pages the evening before. I also printed the coloring page and the memory verse activity sheets the evening before.
2. I read the story pages. Students can color while I read to help them focus.
3. I showed the story cards (just smaller versions of the slides that students take home) to students and asked them to repeat as much of the story back to me as they can.
4. Students can put the puzzle together and retell again if there is time.
5. Students can also work on the word search or counting activity, depending on the age.
6. Sequencing activity - cut out the bottom half of the page and have the students cut out the picture boxes. Students can put the correct picture with the correct caption.
Why should I choose this resource?
1. The story comes from Scripture but is summarized for young learners. The Word of God is not compromised in the process.
2. There are a variety of coloring pages for students to do during the lesson to help them listen to the story but still busy with a non-linguistic activity so their brains do not have competition between the 2 activities.
3. There are plenty of activities to keep them engaged.
4. Easy to understand instructions for printing
5. Colorful and engaging pictures to help tell the story for pre-readers or early readers.
6. A chance to work with the story while practicing cutting, gluing, reading, and summarizing.
