While I have enjoyed a few road trips and spending time with friends and family, I also spent a lot of time on a new project.  Based on the feedback I have received from readers and visitors to my TPT store, there was a need for Novice resources for French teachers that were interested in incorporating more authentic resources and focusing on communicating across the modes with their beginning students. While I had created a few lessons for these learners, I hadn&#8217;t devoted the time to creating a comprehensive curriculum that could be used by beginning teachers, long-term subs, teachers new to teaching for proficiency, teachers in districts that have recently adopted new standards, or any other teachers interested in reducing or eliminating their textbooks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those needs in mind, I decided to build a curriculum that French I teachers could use.  I was able to create the first four units over the summer, and have created a bundle with all four units on Teachers Pay Teachers.  Each unit includes a teacher&#8217;s resource with directions, answer keys (or rubrics) for each activity, and a Google Slide presentation that can be copied and shared with students. The slide has links to each activity and any necessary materials.  As always, I&#8217;m grateful for any feedback (you might notice the new comment form on the right side of the blog!).  Here&#8217;s a link to the bundle: https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/French-I-First-Semester-Curriculum-7065802 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that all of you have had a restful and relaxing summer!
