Looking to do something a little different with your Middle-schoolers this Halloween?

It would be amazing to leave with a sub!

It is a printable document on 8.5" x 11" paper.

Here's what you'll find included in this resource that's carefully curated for your middle school French learners.

• "Réflexion" - 3 separate reflection prompts which can be used as a small writing assessment. These reflections foster higher-level thinking and will have your students thinking about culture, inclusivity, and Halloween's historical changes that have occurred through time.
• "Halloween - une recherche autour du monde!" - A mini research activity that will have your students delving into how Halloween is celebrated around the world, comparing it to their own culture and beliefs. Included in this research description is a presentation opportunity and success criteria are also included.
• "Les origines historiques et l'importance culturelle d'Halloween" - A short reading comprehension piece which has questions to verify understanding.
• "Testez vos connaissances" - A short two-page assessment on general Halloween history.

If you're looking into trying our a project- and inquiry-based approach in your classroom, I recommend trying any of the following resources:

• Un avenir durable (imports, exports and energy - A sustainable future.)
• Dragon's Den - Dans l'oeil du dragon! (Lead a Dragon's den in your classroom!)
• Mon espèce en voie de disparition (An artsy approach to endangered species)
