Cherchez l'erreur - Identify and correct common mistakes in French ⇨ 50 French sentences with grammatical errors ⇨ English translations of what the French sentences are SUPPOSED to mean ⇨ Students look for the mistakes and rewrite the sentences correctly ⇨ Audio recording - Hear English sentences to be translated, pause to translate and speak response, listen and repeat correct French translation read twice to improve fluency and pronunciation ⇨ Teacher support guide - 21 pages of notes about each of the 50 sentences to help teachers explain to students why the sentences are incorrect As you teach French, do you find that over the years you hear students making the same kinds of grammar mistakes over and over again? English speaking students in particular often make the same kinds of mistakes. Here are just a few examples of common mistakes I've heard time and again over the last 20 years teaching French: ⭐ Je voudrais un verre de l'eau avec glaçons. ⭐ On aime des pommes et des bananes. ⭐ J'arrive chez toi autour de 17h00. ⭐ Nous sommes sur l'avion déjà. ⭐ Tu attends pour le bus? ⭐ Je pense de ton problème. ⭐ Nous nous lavons nos mains. ⭐ Je la donne un cadeau. You've probably seen the same kinds of mistakes with your students. Very often, mistakes that are made go back to basic French that wasn't mastered when it was introduced for the first time. This activity offers an excellent opportunity to revisit lots of basic grammar that otherwise often gets ignored as we progress through the chapters and more advanced grammar. I like to use this kind of activity at back to school for returning students or at the end of a quarter or semester as a solid review.

Qui suis-je? Interactive activity for advanced secondary French students 75 cards with detailed descriptions of common nouns using higher level French Use cards to have students work in pairs or small groups. Use PDF with one card per page to project and use as a whole class activity. Cards feature detailed descriptions for students to read and have others guess the noun that has been described. Higher level grammar and vocabulary used in descriptions helps more advanced students get more exposure to grammar in context while having a lot of fun! While it is good to have students come up with their own descriptive sentences in French, sometimes it’s just as great to have them read descriptions aloud to each other. Students will see advanced grammar in use and will understand new vocabulary words through context. This is a unique way to improve when students have already been exposed to a lot of grammar. Here are a few examples: Les voyageurs m’aiment beaucoup parce que je suis très utile quand on veut parcourir de longues distances. On ne me conduit pas. On me pilote. Qui suis-je? **Je suis un avion! ** J’existe pour aider les gens qui ne voient pas très bien. Ils me posent sur leur nez. J’ai deux verres pour les aider à mieux voir. Qui suis-je? **Je suis les lunettes! ** This resource can be used over and over, and since there are so many cards you will have plenty of variety. The grammar varies from card to card, so you can easily pick and choose which ones you would like to use for different levels.
