Here is my tried and tested Grade 6 French Immersion unit on flight. This ready-to-use unit includes a historical overview on flight, the theoretical aspects of flight, comprehension questions, reflection questions and research questions. I have included two research tasks that I get students to do (rubrics and checklists included), I have also included weekly homework questions.
This unit is also sensitive to other cultures as I have tried to include historic figures from different cultures and times in my historical overview of flight.
Overall, my students have greatly enjoyed this unit. I end this unit with a culminating project on flight that is also available at my TPT store.
This French booklet is all about the Nutcracker- from the story to Tchaikovsky, to the ballet. This integrated unit is a cross-curricular one because it ties together French reading comprehension expectations with music and dance. It is the perfect booklet for the month of December or for any time when teachers are doing a dance or music unit (dances and music from various periods).
Sections of this booklet include:
an introduction to the Nutcracker
the history of ballet
The King of the Mice
Tchaikovsky
An exploration of key musical pieces in the ballet
the Nutcracker in Canada
List of characters and their descriptions (activity)
Quiz with answers.
In my grade 6 MFI French Immersion class (Ontario), I have divided students in groups. Each group got a section of the booklet and they had to read, answer the questions, research for more information and present. I have done this booklet in conjunction with my Fairy Tale project.
