HOW ARE THE UNIT PLANS ORGANISED?

The unit plans and lessons are in sequential order. Teachers may wish to repeat the content of lessons until students have acquired the language and/or structure(s). We suggest making adaptations based on their classroom composition and the needs of their students.鈥疎ach unit has a set of vocabulary sheets designed to support language acquisition for your students and connected to the unit鈥檚 topic or theme. Feel free to include the phonetic versions for your students, or use them simply for yourself.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN EACH LESSON?

• The learning objectives in student-friendly language
• The new French vocabulary presented in the lesson, including translations and pronunciation help using English phonetic-writing
• Vid茅o du jour suggestion to play in the morning or at various times during the week which has vocabulary connected to the content of the lesson
• Expressions de la semaine to write on the board as a visual reminder for students
• Teacher instructions of strategies, games, and activities
• Supporting materials (Activity organisers such as worksheets, games, presentations, etc.) *Some resources may need to be purchased (see list at end of this document)
• Possible extension ideas or adaptations

Please note: Background knowledge (vocabulary, grammatical structures, etc.) builds upon previous lessons.
