5th Grade World Languages Interactive Whiteboard

This 80+ page, highly visual, very engaging resource has everything you could possibly need to effectively teach - and reach - your low-level middle schoolers who crave games, interaction and movement to keep them interested in learning a new language. My products are geared towards middle-schoolers from grades 4 through 8 and focus heavily on game-based learning, collaboration -- and build independence.

This resource includes your lesson plans for the entire unit, a word wall, "messages du jour," a slide deck, games, activities, worksheets, modelled examples and templates to differentiate your instruction for all levels of learners. I provide you with prompts, suggestions, classroom management ideas and ways to push their learning. Extra "filler activities" are also provided for "those days." ;)

This unit focuses heavily on the terms "pareil," "différent," "différences," "similitudes," "le même," and the négation "ne... pas." It revisits and consolidates vocabulary relating to colours, clothing, body parts, birthdays, pastimes and interests.

In this document, you will find:

The visually appealing and animated nature of the resource keeps learners thoroughly engaged, making language acquisition a thrilling adventure.

As with all of my products, my brain doesn't shut off and any improvements or additions I make to my documents become immediately available to you as they are shared within your Google Drive. On that note, send me an email if you have a theme you'd like me to add to this set.
