French Être Expressions - Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening

Do you find it nearly impossible to find French grammar based reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities?  The focus on specific grammar themes seems to get pushed aside when you want to incorporate all of the other skills.  This is a set of four booklets based on the French verb être and expressions with être. 

When you’re teaching the verb être, you may not want everything you do to be absolutely grammar based, because that can become boring.  

This set of four one-page front and back, no-prep booklets includes reading comprehension with questions, a grammar quiz, a writing exercise with three activities, and a partnered writing and speaking activity. 

These activities do not include rules. The activities in these booklets are not for absolute beginners.

These activities are meant to provide your students with an opportunity for a challenging review of this grammar topic.

All of the booklets are based on mastering être and être expressions.

Once you’ve taught the rules, it’s time to have some fun with être!

This resource includes the following:

⭐  Reading Comprehension Text

⭐  10 Reading Comprehension Questions

⭐  Grammar Quiz - 15 Questions

⭐  Writing Work - 3 Exercises

⭐  Write and Ask Questions + Speak

⭐  Answer Keys Included

All you have to do is print the 4 half pages double-sided so that you have 4 half pages that fit on one page of paper.  Once you’ve printed, just fold the paper in half, and you have a booklet!

You’ll notice that the different booklets reach into reading, writing, speaking, and listening, while still incorporating and focusing on être and être expressions.

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

These booklets are one of my favorite "go to" resources when I want to get my students reading, writing, listening, and speaking to each other while focusing on specific grammar themes that require a lot of practice.  There's something about changing up the routine that is very motivating to students.  

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

You will be able to pull out this set of booklets again and again, year after year, as you teach and reteach French grammar topics.  There are 100 sets of booklets in this series, and it's never a bad idea to pull out a random stack even with your more advanced students to give them a solid review of certain things they may have forgotten.  

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

These no-prep booklets can easily carry you through your whole career as a French teacher, and they'll save you so much time.  I like to have baskets of these booklets ready to pull out and go at the drop of a hat.  How about never needing to prepare for a sub on days when you can't be there?
