FRENCH SENTENCE STARTER QUESTIONS -Est-ce que...? Engaging and fun Back to School bulletin board for students to use as a visual cue to practice using routine French language in the K-2 classroom from Day 1. Modern Language Standard 1.0.

It is never too late to start routine language and can be a great visual for those on an IEP, those students who need a boost, and for peers to help others build their confidence with using these everyday questions.

What's in the resource?

-27 full colour images with depictions of daily routines

-sample bulletin board so you can see the set up

-Large print words for easy reading from a distance

-Est-ce que je peux chercher une gomme? (chercher un crayon, chercher mon cahier, jouer avec un ami, boire de l'eau, aller aux toilettes, etc.

-Est-ce que tu peux m'aider avec mes bottes, tailler mon crayon, m'aider avec mon manteau, etc.

-allows students to ask 'Est-ce que' questions and develop their oral communication skills independently.

Who can use this resource:

I think this resource is perfect for French Immersion teachers like myself, for Core French teachers, and for language teachers who work in other countries. I happen to be in Ontario, Canada but these questions apply to any young learner. K-3 in the Immersion setting, Gr. 4-6 in Core French (and younger), and perfect for Homeschool students as well.

Daily routine language:

Students who are able to quickly master daily routine language feel confident to then try using less common words in class with teachers and peers. The secret to great communication is when students don’t even realize they are speaking to each other in French. This resource could set them on a path to natural, fluid speaking with confidence!

What grade level:

I personally use this visual schedule with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the images with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their understanding of their daily activities and what order their learning will take place in each day. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to communicate at the Junior level.

IEP students:

We all have students with IEPs who need that extra boost to build confidence and to lessen anxieties about what is happening in class. Students quickly learn to identify each card and help each other use this language throughout the day. This has had a positive impact on all students in the class and supports the most vulnerable learners too!

Teens today are constantly connected through their cell phones, with texting being one of the primary ways they communicate. While texting makes it easy to stay in touch, it also comes with challenges, as tone and intent can often be misunderstood without face-to-face interaction. Developing strong social skills for texting is essential to ensure that messages are clear, respectful, and considerate of others' feelings. By practicing thoughtful communication, teens can navigate social situations more effectively and avoid unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.

This resource features 20 different text conversations designed to help students develop their communication and social skills. Each conversation comes in two versions:

★ Without background information for students ready to respond on their own.

★ With background information included at the bottom of the worksheet to provide additional context and support for thoughtful responses.

The background information is great for students who need extra help understanding the situation and encourages them to respond while considering others' feelings and social dynamics. This format makes it easy to differentiate and meet students' individual needs.

Sample responses are included to support teachers in guiding discussions and providing examples for students.

This worksheet is perfect for practicing empathy, improving social skills, and learning how to handle everyday interactions with care and thoughtfulness.

Inside is a conversation practice activity. It's meant to be done on paper or digitally, but can be done verbally too - whether in a group or one-on-one. I had in mind both children and adults who have either language delays or a special need that makes social nuance difficult to read or pick up on. This could help with social awkwardness too.

I've marked younger scenarios with a yellow star and adult scenarios with a red star. If no star appears, it could work for any age. Check each one for which applies to you. You should be able to edit the Easel digital version to apply to you also.

It's important that whoever is using this activity knows these things:

• they can be upset or sad or unhappy in some way, but still aim for kindness and clarity (even if it's still hard to say)

• their response may be right, but they cannot control how the other person responds

• there might be other ways to respond that aren't listed, but just to pick the best one

I recommend having someone walk through at least one of the provided scenarios/questions as practice with the student(s).

Anything "Easel" or digital use might operate or format differently from TeachShare, with their "Remix" feature.

A few words about Speaking

Out of the four skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing), speaking is the one skill learners need more when it comes to proving they have learnt a new language. This is because speaking is a productive skill. Learners do not simply receive information and try to process it; they are required to process information and knowledge they already possess in order to produce new language and communicate.

So, how do you get your students speaking?

Most textbooks contain structured activities that practice speaking based on the topics and content of each unit. However, it is good to deviate from the book into freer conversation. Students are always more motivated when the activity is more relevant to them. This ebook comes to fill this gap. It offers you 20 speaking activities for every CEFR level (120 in total), which can be used whenever you want to engage your students in a free communicative practice.

So, start speaking!

This resource should accompany The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. Upper elementary, middle school, and high school students need reading fluency practice too, but we don't always think about it at these stages. This editable resource asks students to practice a passage directly from The Diary of Anne Frank and focus on accuracy, pace, expression, and punctuation. Students are asked to practice reading the passage to an adult. I have always had my students record themselves reading the passage at the end of a week, and I grade them using the same rubric that is on this assignment.

Enhance collaboration, writing and public speaking skills with Story Starters! This AVID resource provides engaging story starters that encourage students to finish a story and present it to their peers. This activity fosters collaboration and communication within small groups or whole class settings, while also providing a fun way to improve public speaking skills.
