morning – what items they use – can check prior knowledge for vocabulary
-During activity, teacher can rotate around classroom to identify students who may need
more help
-After activity, teacher can assess student written output by looking at completed
worksheet (comprehension of words with correct picture, when using prepositions can
check papers to see if they are being used correctly)
- teacher can also assess student comfortability of using words and prepositions in
conversation with partners
- encourage students to look up more bathroom item vocabulary using class dictionaries–
can also for other areas of the house ie : eating (types of food, breakfast, lunch, etc.), getting
dressed (clothing), driving/walking to school
- students can share fidnings with other interested students (double check they have the
correct vocabulary first)
-For students who are learning French as a 3rd or 4th language, the visual poster will be a
learning aid
- give students who need extra support an already completed worksheet and have them fill
out their own – pair them with a student who is comfortable with the language
-If students are having a hard time with vocabulary, we can focus on vocabulary by slowly
going over terms. We can add action to a term so that it is easier to remember – can also not
teach prepositions if too difficult
- can teach less or more vocabulary depending on student involvement and comprehension
