Here are 78 days of guided French writing practise for intermediate students. For each day, the student is given eight words. The student is also given a sentence ‘type’, for example, ‘a simple sentence in the present tense’ or ‘a sentence containing the word donc’. A brief grammatical explanation (when necessary) and one or more examples follow. The ‘type’ of sentence remains the same for three days in a row. Continue to practise writing that ‘type‘ of sentence, using the new list of words for each day. Students may begin at the beginning and complete the exercises in consecutive order, or teachers may choose a ‘style’ and assign it. Teachers may, of course, add additional parameters to each assignment (such as ‘donc’, using the imparfait). These short assignments allow students with a good foundation knowledge of French to make diligent, regular efforts to write. By following the guidelines, students will practise writing within specific boundaries of style and vocabulary, helping to avoid boredom and repetition in their composition. It only takes one day to begin, and before long, you will have completed an incredible 78 days of writing French sentences!

This short mini-lesson is suitable for students who are taking first steps into intermediate French. It can be used over one to three days to review or introduce vocabulary, practise combining reading, listening and writing, and conjugate a verb in three tenses. The mini-lesson contains: · one short text in French · a translation of the text in English · a list of vocabulary (words and phrases) from the text to be translated either from English to French or from French to English, and memorized · assignments (writing in French using your new vocabulary, other short grammar review exercises, etc.) · a verb to be reviewed (‘manger’) with a verb conjugation page to complete in the présent, passé composé and future simple. Note: an AUDIO file is available (see bundle) to help complete Dictée and Reading assignments, or the teacher may read the texts themselves.
