SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

Skill Building

● Use a variety of visuals to define meaning of words and phrases ( ie. Provide students with photos showing people. Distribute one photo to each student. Have students make up sentences about peop[le using être and avoir) ). ● 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.exchange personal information with another student or pen pal about daily life and personal attributes). ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● Model conversation and sentence frames. ● Students write a conversation introducing an exchange student or a student to a friend and be prepared to present the conversation to the class. ● Have students rewrite the story they wrote in the negative form in the passé composé. ● Students look at a picture, identify the conversation that is most likely to happen and explain their reasoning in detail. ● Have students rewrite a conversation from formal to informal register or vice versa. ● Have students provide extended responses/more details in a story. ● 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. ● Tell students to write a story about an interesting day they had and then students should illustrate the story and present it to the class. ● Make a resource list to post online for fast finishers – YouTube links to songs, grammar resources, and stories, etc.
