SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

● Use a variety of visuals to defne meaning of words and phrases ( ie. Provide students with vocabulary photos and ask them for the opposition adjectives , or, ask true/false questions about the pictures using vocabulary from the chapter). ● Have students work in pairs to create sentences using the new vocabulary to describe a person, a friend. ● Have students work in pairs to fnd pictures that illustrate the differents expressions with être, avoir aller et faire ex: avoir peur ● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate vocabulary, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & vocabulary. ● Use Total Physical Response to review new vocabulary ● Pair with partners to practice conversation/group students to allow opportunity for them to practice speaking. Before assigning students a conversation, model the conversation, and provide sentence frames or sentence starters (ie…… ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● Model conversation and sentence frames. ● Students write a conversation introducing an exchange student or a student to a friend and be prepared to present the conversation to the class. ● Students look at a picture, identify the conversation that is most likely to happen and explain their reasoning in detail. ● Have students provide extended responses/more details in a story. ● Engage the student in more student-teacher conversation in French aside from regularly planned activities or group the student with other advanced learners who are ready for more challenging dialog. ● Have students record themselves speaking on the topic of the unit in French and refect on their progress ● Tell students to write a story about an interesting day they had and then students should illustrate the story and present it to the class.
