French Writing Program Part 6 for FSL Beginner Writers

Get your FSL learners writing in French in just weeks! This simple approach takes them from vocabulary words to writing paragraphs in just a few short weeks. This French writing unit is the sixth part in a multi-week series that takes students who have never written a sentence in French before to writing sentences in 2 just weeks! Using simple grammar rules, sight words, and eventually simple verbs, it's a great way to kick start French composition in a non-intimidating and simple way. And no, it won't take up all of your time! 2-week units are meant to be used 4-5 days per week. In this unit... Students will learn to conjugate the verb "voir" in the present tense, as well as some new sight words. NEW in this unit is a vocabulary book that students can use to expand their writing even more! Future units will contain these too. They will also review what has been learned in past weeks and practice dictees and reading too! How these units work: Every unit covers a basic rule of writing in French. For example, the first unit teaches students that nouns are either masculine or feminine and change the articles and adjectives used to describe them. Along with this, every 2 weeks there is a new word list, giving students plenty of time to learn the new words and the new rule. A daily worksheet is given along with daily dictations and a weekly quiz. As the units and weeks progress, students will go from writing simple sentences using only sight words, adjectives and prepositions to learning about beginner-level verb conjugation. After completing all of the units, students will be ready to delve into the deeper concepts of verbs and write longer paragraphs and papers. What grades are these units for? Before beginning a unit, students must be familiar with the basics of grammar in English (what a noun is, what an article is, etc). I don't recommend starting these units before third grade. What if I don't know French well? Don't worry! I've included a link to a pronunciation website and all lessons are written in English. It's a great unit for homeschooling, classrooms, or small classes alike! What's Included in the 2-week units? A word list with explanations for teachers and/or parents/tutors A word list or flashcards for students A rule poster to display Student-sized rule cards for notebooks Sample lesson plans (8 days of lessons) Daily worksheets (8 days of worksheets) Daily French dictations to read to students Student sentence books to practice reading the sentences and words they have learned Dictation pages for students, find a word activity for students Student dictionary to keep track of new words learned French writing unit for beginner writers FSL students
