• Speaking Activities:

Remember: the challenge of the flipped classroom is NOT about making the videos or about getting kids to watch the videos; the challenge is that you will suddenly have more class time than you have resources to fill. Here are a few ideas/templates for generating LOTS of speaking practice activities for each unit.

• Morpion: L'alphabet et les accents
• Dialogical 6B (Template from Christine Boyde)
• Unit 1B Extended Practice (Uses exact phrases from dialogue in new format)
• Matching Mixer 6A (Read off in order the vocabulary on your slip until you find your match. Teacher: Print 2.)
• Survey 2B 
• Partner Interview 7A
• Hear/Say chart-spelling w/o accents
• Hear/Say chart-spelling w/ accents
• Ladder Game 1B
• Info Gap: Birthdays

• Partner appointments (Des villes en France)
