Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Answer comprehension questions about a respiration informational text in complete French sentences (subject + verb + complement).
Use interrogative words (qui, où, quand, comment, pourquoi) to understand and respond to question prompts.
Make predictions about an informational text using its title, subtitles, and illustrations before reading.
Teaching tips
Review the complete-sentence guide and interrogative-word chart before assigning the comprehension questions, since students are expected to answer in full French sentences.
Use the prediction and prior-knowledge pages before students read the informational text, and revisit them after reading during the transformation activity.
Check completed comprehension answers against the provided answer key, which models a full French sentence response for each of the 13 questions.
Skills covered
French reading comprehension — students answer 13 questions about the respiration text (e.g., the role of the diaphragm, how air travels from nose to lungs) in complete sentences.
Predictive and prior-knowledge reading strategies — students use text features to predict content and activate prior knowledge before reading.
Question-formation vocabulary — students use French interrogative words (qui, où, quand, comment, pourquoi, combien) to frame and answer questions.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Are the comprehension questions answered with single words, or full sentences?
Full French sentences — the guide explicitly models the subject + verb + complement structure expected for every answer.
Does the package only cover the reading itself, or does it include activities before and after?
Both — prediction and prior-knowledge pages come before the text, and making connections, a text critique, and a reflection on new knowledge follow the comprehension questions.
