Courtesy of Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C., an archived site with a series of excellent kits for middle-grade Core French units that carefully structure and encourage oral communication:

Ma vie... c'est moi! (My Life... It's Me!)
La nourriture (Food)
Les vêtements (Clothing)
Les activités (Activities)

The units target participation, starting with whole-class activities and moving through rotating stations, each with visual support and follow-up activities.

'Students explore a variety of jobs and professions in today’s world, their aptitudes, the consequences of choosing a job or profession, and the importance of bilingualism in the choice of a job or profession ... students ... research a job or profession and to make a presentation to the class. In addition, students will explore possible careers and examine steps to follow to obtain employment.'

*All instructions are in French.*

This thematic unit from Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C. is aimed at Grade 5 Core French students, but is suitable for younger grades and would be easily adaptable for older ones. It is focused on oral practice and participation and would also be useful in French Immersion classes!Content Authors: Comox Valley Schools, Learn71
