Elevate French language skills in Middle School with our comprehensive Genre Studies collection! Tailored for French Immersion and First Language students, it includes graphic organizers, mini lessons, success criteria, rubrics, abundant examples, and discussion prompts. Empower grades 4-8 students for exceptional writing success across various genres

Are you having trouble knowing where to start? Where to end? Do you have difficulty teaching smaller chunks so that your students know what is expected of them, so they can write effectively and confidently? Is this your first year of teaching and would you like to see a model or example to guide you in the years to come? Are you looking for success criteria and models? Do you honestly struggle to differentiate, yourself, between the different genres your students are expected to produce? Look no further! I've done the work so you can teach with confidence and your students perform with confidence.

My genre studies will give you enough teachable content, printable activities, discussion prompts, and guided writing opportunities to write with ease and confidence. Each of my genre sets begins with teachable content and integrated mini-lessons and reflections for your students to share, participate, and collaborate with their peers. If you are not comfortable with teaching genres, this is the product for you. I guide your classes, YOU facilitate it in person.

My products are MADE with your big kids and teens in mind. You won't find childish cartoons, hard-to-read and exaggerated fonts and you won't find crosswords and wasted space. I take the time to ensure that my products are appealing to an older group of students, but still attractive, engaging, and on their level. They are created for students in grades 4 to 8 in an Immersion or French first language environment.

This bundle includes all gender studies:

• Narrative writing (le récit narratif)
• Persuasive writing (le texte d'opinion)
• Persuasive writing (la critique)
