Noël (Core French – Writing Workshop)

Ministère de l’Éducation de la Saskatchewan. 2001. This unit models communicative/experiential second language teaching in a multidimensional curriculum and complements units in Core French: A Curriculum and Resource Guide for the Elementary Level (1994). Students have an opportunity to learn about Christmas in French. During the learning activities, students will become familiar with Christmas vocabulary, explore what Christmas means to them, discuss ways Santa knows their behaviour during the year, and what they would like for Christmas. They even invent a toy-making machine. For the experiential goal, students will write a letter to Santa and present their letters to the class. The teacher’s guide includes learning objectives, a list of resources and step-by-step suggestions on how to teach the unit. In addition, the guide includes answer sheets, suggested vocabulary and motivational games, supplementary activities, flashcards, model letter to parents, evaluation grids and activities, and website addresses. The student workbook includes the necessary student activity sheets, vocabulary lists, and teacher, peer and self-evaluation grids. 50 p.
