SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

● 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 dif fi cile pour 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? ● Create a survey ( Un sondage ) to go around the classroom to fi nd out what classes are students enrolled in. Ask students what they think of their classes. Then present your fi ndings to the class or write a short summary. ● Students look at a picture of a school in France and ask students to write as many sentences in French as they can about people and what they are doing. ● 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 provide extended responses/more details. ● Have students recognize and read the new vocabulary orally. ● Make a resource list for fast fi nishers –sentence frames, grammar resources, and stories
