Easy Ways to Decorate Your French Classroom
1. Print out high quality photos from trips you've taken to Francophone countries, laminate them, and add them around the room.
2. Laminate some post cards from various French speaking places and place them around the room.
3. Use a search engine to find quotes from famous French speaking people. Write down your favorite and print them out in various colors and fonts. Laminate them and post them around the classroom.
4. Buy some colorful fabric in blue, white, and red and use that as the background of bulletin boards. Fabric lasts longer than paper and it is more appealing to the eye.

4 Tips for Beginning World Language Teachers
I am a retired teacher with a background in teaching French, Spanish and ESL. Here are a few tips for you new teachers entering the challenging field of teaching.
1. Have students choose a name in the target language. Students really like the chance to choose their own name. (Hold off on this until the second or third week of school to be sure you know their given names.)
2. Don’t forget to look around your school for foreign language resources right under your nose. ESL students, foreign exchange students, and immigrant students might enjoy visiting your class and sharing their culture. Make it one of your goals to teach an understanding and appreciation of other cultures.
3. Students need a lot of oral drill to develop speaking skills. It’s hard to keep those drills interesting. Two drills I often relied upon were surveys and a game called “The Teacher Says” where students have to repeat grammatically correct sentences and fill in the blank with a logical word trying to “match” the teacher. Below are a couple links to free products.
4. Another thing to do to keep your class interesting is to target multiple intelligences. Use music, actions and visuals to liven up presentations and enhance memory. Here is one paid product that uses visuals to drill making questions in French.
Best wishes for a great school year!

French Freebies May 12
Les activités du printemps: Les petites affiches
This freebie contains 12 posters of various spring activities children like to do. Also included are the additional vocabulary cards: faire du vélo and jouer au soccer if you prefer to teach these alternatives.
I use these cards in several different ways: as posters on my bulletin board, as flashcards to play charades, vocabulary reference cards at a writing center or I print them four to a page and make cards for Go Fish or memory.
French Shoe Verb Mini Posters (Set 1) Three French shoe verb visuals to create a bulletin board to enhance learning. A sports figure delightfully illustrates what happens when the stem of these stem changing verbs is stressed. A second mini-poster has a sports shoe in which the verb is conjugated. A third mini-poster lists some verbs that follow the shoe verb #1 conjugation pattern. As the saying goes, un dessin vaut mieux qu’un long discours (a picture is worth a thousand words).
Activité d'antonyme : Les granges
Dans cette activité qui combinent l'art avec la grammaire, les élèves doivent creuser leurs têtes (ou utiliser un dictionaire de synonymes!) pour trouver des antonymes aux mots simples qu'ils utilisent dans leurs écrits.

This is a series of brief worksheets related to money and prices in French-speaking places. the first identifies the differences between how prices are written in English and in French (using the dollar as the currency unit).
The second identifies the currency of about 25 countries where French is a national language. There are two versions of this worksheet so you can select the level right for your students, as well as which information you would like them to research.
The third engages some critical thinking skills as students calculate what the price of certain souvenirs in francophone countries would be in American dollars, and then discuss alternatives in terms of their preferences in spending a limited amount of money.

This is an essay test in the form of an IB French B Épreuve 2 on the topic of racism. There are four prompts of which students must choose 1 and create a 250 word essay in 90 minutes. Students need to be familiar with the music of Diam's and the film La Haine.
