Daily French journals are a wonderful way to start class. You can set this journal up as a bell ringer activity or an early finisher journal. Your students will actively engage in practicing their French in a personalized and meaningful way. You will love this no prep printable daily French journal which includes activities for planning and gratitude. All you have to do is print and go! This French daily work journal provides 200 pages of activities, and it is written completely in French. Take a look at the preview to see all of the details and examples.

Front page activities include the following tasks:

• Where am I - Où suis-je
• What's the weather like - Quel temps fait-il
• French quote of the day
• List what you must do and want to do - devoir + vouloir
• Answer the question - J'ai fait de l'exercice - Oui ou non
• French word of the day - Le mot du jour
• Counting your steps? J'ai fait _____ pas aujourd'hui.
• Do something nice for yourself today - Ce que je vais faire pour me faire plaisir
• Drink water - Je m'hydrate - Je bois au moins 6 verres d'eau par jour
• Conjugate new verbs every day - Conjugue le verb "______" au temps que tu veux
• Write sentences - Fais une petite phrase avec le verbe du jour
• French expression of the day - L'expression du jour

Back page is for writing:

• Short paragraph - Termine la phrase "_________" et fais un paragraphe.
• Gratitude - Je suis reconnaissant(e) - 4 choses

200 pages are included. I like to print double sided which gives me 100 days of journaling. If you choose to have your students use these on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays, you can use this as a full year program.

This resource saves you valuable time by not having to write journal questions yourself. The sequence of tasks is designed to be repetitive so that the tasks remain familiar and achievable, yet the content changes every day to keep it fresh!

The second half of the pages is more challenging than the first as it includes reflexive verbs (even some idiomatic ones), and the vocabulary is at a higher level.

Watch the video I made so that you can see all of the rich material inside and I can show and tell you how I like to use this journal. You'll see that I printed mine double sided on pretty parchment paper and turned it into a booklet that really feels like a journal, but plain white paper and folders to store them in work just as well.

Expect your students to:

• enjoy using the journal pages as bell ringers
• appreciate a no-stress routine at the beginning of class
• discover lots of new vocabulary and common expressions
• get their minds focused on French
• start reading and writing in French as soon as they enter the classroom
• enjoy completing the tasks and having some time to work independently
• identify and explore their emotions
• take an interest in self-care

You will appreciate:

• not having to reinvent the wheel
• absolutely zero prep + full year resource
• extra time at the beginning of class while students are competing daily tasks
• adding an element of fun to the usual boring daily journals
• different activities that are still consistent, requiring less explanation time
• a calm start to the day
• that each day is different and engaging for the students
• using this French journal year after year

What teachers like you say about this daily French journal:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Marvelous! My intermediate low-mid students love this! They enjoy doing this at the start of class and at home on days they don't have class. They are intrigued by the quotes and expressions. They love the changing information and the tracking of their self-care...in French! They do not receive a "grade" for this - by their own choice. They find it relevant and fun! We sometimes use it as a jumping off point for some discussion and for some grammar points. Mostly, though, the students just enjoy keeping track of their daily feelings, self-care, etc. in French!!" - Anne S.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My French 3 students were so excited when I showed this to them and have eagerly begun this journaling process. We are beginning our class every other day with this activity. I love all the details that you included!" - Rebecca D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've done something similar to this in the past but mine was nowhere near as thorough or well-done. This will be a nice addition to my beginning of class routines." - Shanda H.

PRINTING:

8.5 x 11 letter paper works well for printing this document. All of the pages are black and white and do not require too much ink. I recommend printing the pages double sided. You can bind the pages together with staples, a binder clip, by punching holes in the pages and inserting into a folder, or you can have the pages bound together at a business supply store.

This set of 70 French speaking prompts cards and 70 French writing prompts is for advanced French students. It is a year long writing and speaking program for your advanced levels.

The speaking and writing prompts use the same questions. The speaking prompts are in the form of cards that you can project or print to use in the classroom.

These prompts will challenge your upper levels, AP students or secondary French immersion students. Writing is an essential part of mastering French, and the topics used in these prompts are inviting, engaging, and interesting:

• L'Enfance - Childhood
• L'Adolescence - Teenage Years
• La Technologie - Technology
• L'Amitié - Friendship

A French grading rubric is included for easy grading.

Print the writing prompts and the students can write directly on them. The speaking cards can be used in class with the projecting file, printed and laminated for in class speaking activities or used by the students on their devices.
