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 -astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who recently spent 6 months on board commanding a mission on the ISS. The text is simple enough for first semester French.

The target structures are:

• il quitte la terre
• pendant le voyage
• il fait
• dans l'espace

This item includes:

• A 25-slide powerpoint biography about Pesquet and his trip to the ISS
• a printable version of the story on a single page
• comprehension questions about the story
• a grammar explanation and practice worksheet about the je, il and elle form of er verbs
• guided story retell and rewrite sheets with images from the powerpoint
• additional resources page
• answer key
