Today I continued with my pre-reading activities for L’homme qui plantait des arbres. We discussed the vocabulary and I found some great activities online already prepared. What a great help! I had students read the first two paragraphs and classify the places that are mentioned (i.e., rivers, mountains, provinces, etc…). Then, they had to locate these places on a map and draw lines between them to define the area in which the story takes place. I then had them read the first few pages and answer the questions for homework.
Here are the links to the activities I found online:
This site has pre-reading activities, vocabulary lists and comprehension questions that are ready to use! I found it very useful. I’m using most of it as is. I really like the fact that the activities put grammar in context, as well as develop critical thinking skills.
A series of handouts already prepared with the answers provided as well. I used the first activity as is, and I’ll be using certain parts of the other activities as well.
You can find the entire text by clicking the link above.
I hope you find these resources as useful as I do! It has saved me so much time and the activities are just great.
At Teacher pay Teachers, I purchased 12 activities for only $14 today! I can’t wait to use some of my purchases. I’ll be using one as soon as tomorrow in my grade 9 Immersion class. They will be creating a story in the passé composé with the verb prompts that are given to them. I can’t wait to see how it turns out…
