FLASH!
Power Point Sample
Use FLASH! with any level
I put a variety of topics in here so you can
see how to make a FLASH! with different
levels of learners.
For the FLASH! sections, you
would use 8-10 slides.
Under the “Transitions” Tab, set
the “Advance Slide” at about 6
seconds. Or use a clicker.
The first set of FLASH! Pictures
are Either / Or sentences
(reflexives in passé composé).
Teacher reads both choices,
then class answers.
Je me suis amusé? / Je me suis fâché?
Tu t’es bronzé? / Tu t’es marié?
Elle s’est lavée? / Elle s’est réveillée?
Nous nous sommes dépêchés?
Nous nous sommes levés?
Vous vous êtes cassé le bras?
Vous vous êtes cassé le nez?
Ils se sont rasés? / Ils se sont cachés?
The next set of FLASH! pictures
are Either / Or reflexive verbs in
the negative passé composé
Elles se sont disputées?
Elles ne se sont pas disputées?
Je me suis amusé?
Je ne me suis pas amusé?
Nous nous sommes couchés?
Nous ne nous sommes pas couchés?
The next set of FLASH! pictures
are “guided” short answer,
to practice the formation of
reflexives in the passé composé.
• Répondez en français  
Qu’est-ce qu’elle a fait?
Elle s’est…
Qu’est-ce que nous avons fait?
Nous nous sommes…
Qu’est-ce que tu as fait?
Je me suis…
The next set of slides give the
students one minute to talk about
the picture in the passé composé,
with images that would evoke
reflexive verbs.
Utilisez cette image et parlez au Passé Composé
pendant UNE minute, avec un partenaire.
(His name? Why was he hurrying? What time did he
get up? What did he do this morning? Where was he
going?, etc
Utilisez cette image et parlez au Passé Composé
pendant UNE minute, avec un partenaire.
