Because the interpretive reading activities during the unit were infographics, I wanted the students to prepare the students for the more challenging reading (also from <em>1jour1actu<\/em>) that they will read on the IPA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking Station:<\/strong> Here the students will interview the other members of their station group about their summer vacations.\u00a0 This activity will give the students lots of practice asking and answering the questions they will need on the interpersonal task on the IPA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing Station: <\/strong>At this station the students will write an essay about their real or imaginary vacation. It is my intention that the feedback they receive from me on this assignment will increase their success on the presentational writing task of the IPA.<\/p>\n<p>After completing these stations, and receiving personalized feedback, these students should be ready for this IPA (<a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IPA-2.doc\">IPA <\/a>)in which they:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read an article (<a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Moins-de-vacances.pdf\">Moins de vacances<\/a>)\u00a0about the history of summer vacation in France<\/li>\n<li>Watch two news videos about summer vacation<\/li>\n<li>Interview a partner about a real or imaginary summer vacation<\/li>\n<li>Write a blog post about an imaginary summer vacation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My students have done a great job on the first two lessons of this unit and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing them demonstrate their progress on this IPA!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
