Comprehensible input is important in a world languages class - but you can't always do stories. This is a French comprehensible input lesson that uses target structures in a comprehensible way to teach about a nonfiction topic -the life of Vincent Van Gogh. The story includes both the passé composé and imparfait, so it is appropriate for second year and beyond.

The target structures are:

• était
• s'est coupé
• déprimé

This item includes:

• a 33-slide powerpoint with repetition of the target vocabulary
• a text version of the powerpoint
• comprehension questions
• a grammar explanation on the passé composé of reflexive verbs
• a story retell sheet with photos - one for writing, one for oral retell
• a list of associated videos
• a complete answer key
