SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

Skill Building

● Use a variety of visuals to define meaning of words and phrases (ie. pictures of people greeting one another, etc.). ( Qu’est ce que c’est…?.) ● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate vocabulary, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & vocabulary. ● Use Total Physical Response to review new vocabulary ● Pair with partners to practice conversation/group students to allow opportunity for them to practice speaking. Before assigning students a conversation, model the conversation, and provide sentence frames or sentence starters (ie.Bonjour, je m’appelle …… Comment t’appelles -tu? ) ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● Model conversation and sentence frames. ( Il/Elle s’appelle….) ● Listen to videos of friends meeting for the first time. ● Students write a conversation introducing an exchange student/ or a student to a friend and be prepared to present your conversation to the class. ● Students look at a picture , identify the conversation that is most likely to happen and explain their reasoning. ● Have students rewrite a conversation from formal to informal register. ● Have students provide extended responses/more details. Add gestures ( culture: (la poignée de main ou la bise?) ● Have students compare French and American greetings or any other forms of greeting ● Engage the student in more student-teacher conversation in French aside from regularly planned activities or group the student with other advanced learners who are ready for more challenging dialog. ● Have students recognize and read the new vocabulary orally. ● Make a resource list for fast finishers – sentence frames, grammar resources, and stories
