Skill Building

● Use a variety of visuals with to identify academic subjects ( la littérature, la géographie, l’histoire, l'éducation physique, l’art….) ● Use Total Physical Response to review new vocabulary ● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate vocabulary, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & vocabulary. ( ex: Use a T- Chart organizer with J’aime… ou je n’aime pas…. Students list their academic subjects under each column and explain why? Pourquoi? Parce que c’est….. ) They can work with a partner or individually. ● 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. EX: Have students work in pairs. Tell them to take turns describing the courses they are good and not so good using the vocabulary in this unit. Provide sentences frames (ex: je suis bon en Anglais , mais les maths c’est difficile pou r moi) ● Have students work in pairs/group. Tell them to take turns asking what time their classes are: use sentence frames to help your students ex: À quelle heure est ton cours de biologie? Mon cours est à….. Et toi?
