CORE FRENCH | FSL | PROF DU JOUR | DAILY ROUTINE | GAMES + COMMUNICATION PROMPTS

Classroom management in a middle school Core French classroom can be dicey! That's why I engage my students as much as possible to keep em' on their toes! Prof du jour is a part of my everyday routine, where a different student each day is given the opportunity to lead the discussions with their peers and to give them confidence in French. Sit back and watch the magic!

This isn't a run-of-the-mill calendar! My Prof du jour is at the command desk and interacts with their peers and the Google Slides. Here are some activities that my Grades 4, 5 and 6 students actively use found in this document:

• Complete Calendar (drag & drop icons) for August 2023 - September 2024.
• Weather, time of day, days of the week, and terms like "yesterday," "today," and "tomorrow."

• A Wheel Decide question prompter (which you can edit by removing or adding questions your students are working on).
• An "I SPY" prompter (a favorite in ALL of my classes).
• A "GUESS WHO?" prompter.
• A Franco DJ Music activity (great for explaining why they like/dislike something with sentence starters).

Depending on the time you have and the abilities of your students, have your PdJ choose anywhere between 1 and 3 activities to get your classroom pumped up for the day. Meanwhile, assess your students' comprehension and oral communication with their peers in a natural environment.

This document contains portions of other documents ("Guess Who?" and "I Spy").

Hope this helps you develop a useful and engaging routine for this (often disengaged) demographic!
