This is a detailed lesson plan based on the YouTube video “Christmas traditions in Great Britain”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFyWMdQBQ8.

Christmas is a very important time in the christian year, but it is also very important to people who do not go to church. It is a time for presents, parties, and time with the family.

In the UK, people start to get ready for Christmas in late October or early November. They decorate their shops with lights, trees, and other decorations. Shops get very busy and stay open later

in the middle of December. Most families buy Christmas trees, put them inside the house, and put colorful decorations on them.

Watch the video with your students and follow the steps in the lesson plan. You will have 60 minutes of lesson, with a variety of activities that will engage all types of learners.

Add some Christmas joy to your lessons with this festive lesson plan!

✐ Noël - Week long French primary writing program for Christmas - Set 2 ✐

Theme: Qu'est-ce que je vais offrir comme cadeaux de Noël cette année?

This one week French writing program will have your students writing every day of the week, and is perfect for French immersion. The writing activities in this program include five pre-writing and writing activities for Monday through Friday. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Check out all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom here.

These vocabulary activities are specifically meant to be used along with my my Christmas themed reading and vocabulary programs which use a lot of the same words.

Save 50%: Full-year French reading program

Here’s how this program works:

✍Lundi:  Je dessine - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration!

✍Mardi:  Mon livret de vocabulaire - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used French words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it.

✍Mercredi:  Vocabulaire - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Mots de vocabulaire utiles: J’utiliserai ces mots dans mon paragraphe.”

✍Jeudi:  Mon brouillon - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections. 

✍Vendredi:  Ma copie propre - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing:  qui - quoi - quand - où - pourquoi - comment

Ways you can use this writing program:

✎ Enhance your writing program by practicing a little every day.

✎ Use the prompts at writing centers Monday - Friday.

✎ Daily 5 rotations

Le paragraphe de la semaine

Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.

Part One

-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.

-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade

Part Two

-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.

-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students

Part Three

-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories

-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.

This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!

Le vocabulaire de Noël - One week French vocabulary program for Christmas

Vocabulary theme: Quand je me réveille le matin de Noël...

This one-week French vocabulary acquisition program will have your students working with a set of 12 words or phrases every day of the week, and is perfect for French immersion, core French, and both primary and secondary during the month of December. These vocabulary activities are specifically meant to be used along with my my Christmas themed reading and writing programs which use a lot of the same vocabulary. Have a look at the video preview so I can show you more about the activities that are included! Check out all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom here.

This program includes 7 pre-writing and writing activities for you to choose from for vocabulary exposure on this theme for one whole week - Monday through Friday. If you choose to purchase bundled Christmas vocabulary, reading, and writing program #1, you'll find these activities helpful before beginning the writing curriculum as your students will already be very familiar with the vocabulary that is used.
