Get a full year's worth lessons and activities for first year French. These French units and resources include everything you need to teach and practice the typical things taught in a level one French course.

Teaching from a textbook can get boring, and sometimes textbooks simply don't give enough practice to learn vocabulary and grammar. Maybe you would rather focus on communication, and you plan to use a comprehensible input approach, but your textbook doesn't really work for that. This French curriculum bundle will give you everything you need to have structure, variety, and practice in your level one French classes.

This level 1 French curriculum Bundle Includes:

• 8 full units using comprehensible input - cover the same material as most first year French textbooks but using the language with repetition and context.
• 36 Digital games to practice vocabulary and grammar
• 19 Digital escape games to learn about the culture of the Francophone world
• 12 Non-fiction CI lessons - learn about interesting topics using sheltered language and grammar, with lots of repetition and a focus on comprehensibility
• 12 CI short story lessons - cute stories with very limited vocabulary - each story includes story retell and comprehension activities.
• 3 Interactive notebook pages for some of the biggest grammar points in first year.
• 5 grammar lessons with PowerPoints to teach some of the most basic French grammar - subject pronouns, adjectives, ER, IR and RE verbs

Use the full units as the backbone of your instruction, and the digital games will give students extra practice with the vocabulary and grammar points. For fun, you can spice it up a bit with an escape game, short story, or non-fiction lesson every so often.

Make learning about French culture and history interesting with this no-prep French digital escape game bundle.  The games include access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams.

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the games
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the games
• Answer keys so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused! 

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

This bundle includes a PowerPoint presentation on solving linear equations, one-step, multi-step, with variables on both sides. With examples and word problems.

A no-prep, printable worksheet that includes 20 one-step equations and a theory reminder. Answer key is included for your convenience.
