For Core FrenchTeachers - Help Yourself!

Here are some worksheets, activity sheets, and tests which you might find useful... All were created while I was teaching FSL. This initial set reflects stuff I made to go with the AIM plays I taught to various grades. Most of the activity sheets were introduced before the children were ready to start their initial "cahiers". I know some are not orthodox - Feel free to use and improve at will!

This is it for the AIM plays. Will start a page for theme worksheets when I can.                      Follow @BevSymons

Salut, mon ami !:

This was a great introduction to the AIM program for my grades 7, 7/8, and 8s. Did a fair amount of checking for comprehension in English. It was a huge success with the students.

• Pre and post unit writing rubric; Loved this one - ask students to describe the picture of the two boys with the tennis racquet. Use in September and again in January to see amazing improvement>
• Test de vocabulaire;
• Cryptic crossword;
• Pouvoir worksheet;
• Test futur proche;

Le rap d'entrée en classe: Fill in the blanks

This rap (see the AIM manuals and CD) is what bought me my street cred with the kids. At the end of September they made their own music video with this routine. We kind of followed the kids on Wendy's video but the various "Dance Captains" (who had never had starring roles in French class before) choreographed the show and everyone had a great time with my video camera. Boys came from one side of the building while girls countered from the other and all met in front of the school for final choruses.

The two best things about doing this long play (only rehearse in 10 min. bits) were:
(1) One of the grade 4 boys was a natural drummer and played during the song;
(2) Had a great time doing story retell between the two grade 4 classes! Each class would add a paragraph to the chart paper and the next class would re-read the whole story and then add their own following paragraph. Very entertaining!
