Instruction will start with about 10 minutes of interactive work with the new
vocabulary of the unit Qui suis-je?/Who I am through flashcards made with the
picture and the French word on the side and the English word on the side. See
link: https://www.goconqr.com/en-US/p/3979219
In order to meet all students needs, even the ones of the students who better learn
from word lists, a new vocabulary list will be given Le vocabulaire (Unit:Quis
suis je, Le vocabulaire)
After the new vocabulary was introduces and students practiced the pronunciation
for each word a few times, a short phonics lessons will be given (students will be
handed a prepared note with this rules of pronunciation)
The short phonics lesson will include:
be confusing for the students to introduce this new exception from the
rule)
Liaison rule: when a French word ends with a consonant and the next begins with
a vowel or a silent "h" the final consonant joins the following vowel to form a
complete syllable. The pronunciation in this situation can be different: consonants
"s" and "x" are pronounced as /z/ (mesamis)
I will be modelling the correct pronunciation of the new vocabulary words, ask the
students to repeat the words and try to incorporate movements with the new
vocabulary (for example when learning the adjective belle (pretty) students will
be taught the word in sign language.
In order to determine if the students are meeting the intended learning objectives,
the bubble sheet will be used as a formative assessment. Example:

Students will be engaging in a interpersonal speaking activity where they will have to tell
their name, age, where they are from, important personality and physical characteristics of
you and your friend.
Students will be working with their shoulder partner having the following prompt:
You and your best friend enjoy posting videos online and have decided to attract a more
international audience. You are planning to post a YouTube video to introduce yourself
and your best friend to the world. While you have just begun learning French, it is
amazing how much you can already say. You decide to include:
Your names and ages;
where you are from;
Students will begin writing down the dialogue with their partner before the actual
speaking part. Students will interact and construct their dialogue.

Special needs students will be provided a modified version of the bell work, vocabulary
list of the day and the reading text. Also these students will receive more guidance during
the interactive activity with the flashcards.
Teacher will be in their proximity when reading the text to make sure students are
following the text.
Regular checks for understanding will be made, directed towards special needs students
as well towards the entire classroom.
Additionally, offered as support a study guide for the unit was previously emailed to all
students who can as well benefit from after school support in case they struggle with a
certain concept or if there are any gaps in their prior knowledge.
Student Interactions
What Ifs
Common errors of students related to the central focus of this unit which revolves around
new vocabulary is pronunciation therefore special attention will be given to phonemic
awareness and rules of French pronunciation.
Daily short phonic lessons will be inserted into the lessons to address this error.
The opportunity for students to work with partners will arise in the second part of the
lesson when students will be working with their shoulder partner having the following
prompt:
You and your best friend enjoy posting videos online and have decided to attract a more
international audience. You are planning to post a YouTube video to introduce yourself
and your best friend to the world. While you have just begun learning French, it is
amazing how much you can already say. You decide to include:
Your names and ages;
where you are from;
5 important personality and physical characteristics of you and 5 important personality
and physical characteristics of your friend.
Be sure to include anything else you want to share about yourself and your best friend
that you can already say in French.
It might happen that students have many questions or some part of the lesson is unclear so
we will have to go over some vocabulary words for more times or reteach a certain lesson
(maybe the verb to be) or subject pronouns, which will take more time from the lesson
then planned.

Best Practices
In order to meet the students needs I will adjust accordingly the lesson plan and continue
next time what I might not finish ( for example the cultural video).
The learning tasks for this lesson are appropriate for the students because the lesson
plan aligns with the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines in regard to the description of what
individuals can do with language in terms of speaking, writing, listening, and reading in
real-world situations in a spontaneous and non-rehearsed context.
First proficiency level: Novice Low is going to be the base of the entire hierarchy of
levels in which each level subsumes all lower levels.
The Guidelines are not based on any particular theory, pedagogical method, or
educational curriculum. They neither describe how an individual learns a language nor
prescribe how an individual should learn a language, and they should not be used for such
purposes. They are an instrument for the evaluation of functional language ability.
Aside of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines I use the ACTFL Performance Descriptors
for Language Learners to describe language performance that is the result of explicit
instruction in an instructional setting, create performance tasks targeted to the appropriate
performance range, while challenging learners to also use strategies from the next higher
range and set realistic expectations at the summative assessment level.
The teaching strategy employed in this lessons is a mix of direct approach with TPR and
ALM, however when giving instructions and explaining a cultural related concept or even
I do Speak English with my students to assure that they fully understand me.
