This 80+ page, highly visual, very engaging resource has everything you could possibly need to effectively teach - and reach - your low-level middle schoolers who crave games, interaction and movement to keep them interested in learning a new language. My products are geared towards middle-schoolers from grades 4 through 8 and focus heavily on game-based learning, collaboration -- and build independence.

This resource includes your lesson plans for the entire unit, a word wall, "messages du jour," a slide deck, games, activities, worksheets, modelled examples and templates to differentiate your instruction for all levels of learners. I provide you with prompts, suggestions, classroom management ideas and ways to push their learning. Extra "filler activities" are also provided for "those days." ;)

This unit focuses heavily on the terms "pareil," "différent," "différences," "similitudes," "le même," and the négation "ne... pas." It revisits and consolidates vocabulary relating to colours, clothing, body parts, birthdays, pastimes and interests.
