\"\"<\/a>As regular readers of this blog know, I teach a unit on French Impressionism each year in my French 3 class.\u00a0 I have once again modified this unit to better meet the needs of my students. \u00a0Click on the link<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>(updated 6\/29\/18)<\/span>\u00a0for the agenda for this year\u2019s version, to which all resources are linked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 1<\/strong>: The students will complete the same guided note-taking activity that I have used in past years in order to provide them with basic information about some aspects of impressionist paintings. The students will then sign up for a slide featuring two different paintings, and will prepare a short presentation explaining which of the paintings is Impressionist and justifying their choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 2:<\/strong> Students will present their paintings, gallery-style, to several classmates who will provide written feedback. \u00a0The students will then take an assessment in which they choose whether each painting on the Google Presentation is Impressionist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Days 3 – 13<\/strong>: Students will complete guided notes and then a series of learning stations for each of seven different impressionist and post-impressionist painters. \u00a0(The guided notes are included in the same packet as the introductory notes and the corresponding slides are in the same presentation.This presentation also includes some unidentified paintings that can be used to practice identifying artists later in the unit). I have allowed 2 days for each artist and will give a short assessment on the 2nd day. Because I use Schoology (our LMS) for these assessments, I am not able to share them at this time. \u00a0These stations will include 1) a series of interpersonal activities designed to familiarize the students with the painter\u2019s works, 2) a series of Edpuzzles and 3) a reading\/writing activity. \u00a0Because the interpersonal activities are based on manipulatives that I\u2019ve created over the years, I am not able to share them (except in the case of Manet which are digital.) However, a reader graciously shared the activities she created for Renoir and these can be found in the comments in<\/span> last year\u2019s post.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 (10\/17\/18: See the comments for this post below for additional interpersonal activities created by Erin Burns–Merci, Erin!) Since I found that last year\u2019s reading\/writing activities were a)too long and b)too difficult, I have created new ones for this year\u2019s unit. I will give the students about 20 minutes at each station and allow them to complete unfinished Edpuzzles as homework. \u00a0Each pair will probably have time to complete only two of the speaking activities, but I have included several in order to have enough manipulatives for each group. Therefore, they will complete guided notes and 2 stations on the first day devoted to each artist, and the 3rd station and assessment on the second day. \u00a0Once a week my students have a 90-minute block so they will complete all 3 stations as well as the guided notes and assessment on these days.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Edited 1\/12\/18: Some of the videos are no longer working through Edpuzzle, but a generous reader has shared worksheets she developed for these videos.\u00a0 See the comments below.)<\/p>\n

Day 14:<\/strong> The students will review the painters by working together in groups to identify the painter of paintings on postcards in my collection. We will also review using the unidentified slides at the end of the Google Presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 15<\/strong>: The students will take their IPA for the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 16-18<\/strong>: The students will read a Petit Nicolas story, <\/span>Le Mus\u00e9e de Peintures<\/span><\/i>. Although I will distribute photocopied pages of the story from the book, I have included a link to a digital copy for those who don’t have access to the book, with its adorable pictures. Each day they will listen to a portion of the story being read (as they follow along on the text) and then complete a series of true\/false with justification sentences. I have included just one slide for these lessons, as I\u2019m not exactly sure how far we will get each day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 19:<\/strong> The students will review the story by completing a pair crossword puzzle. \u00a0I have included a link to the puzzle, which I will print twice. \u00a0I will then fill in the horizontal answers on one copy and the vertical answers on the other, before photocopying the puzzles for students, without the clues. \u00a0The students will then circumlocute to help their partner fill in the answers which are missing from their papers. \u00a0My students love these pair crosswords! Remaining class time will be spent practicing the role plays for the next day\u2019s interpersonal assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 20:<\/strong> The students will write the journal entry of one of the story\u2019s characters (but not Nicolas). While they are writing, I will call up pairs (who have not previously worked together) and assign them one of the role plays for an interpersonal speaking assessment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Day 21<\/strong>: The students will complete an Edpuzzle for a cartoon of the Musee de Peintures story. \u00a0Unfortunately, the video I used when creating last year\u2019s Edpuzzle is no longer available so I will have to make a new one. \u00a0I will add the link to the agenda when I have done so.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am hoping that this year\u2019s French 3 students will enjoy this unit as much as previous year\u2019s groups have!<\/span><\/p>\n
