Description

This fun beginning/intermediate level French back to school reading comprehension activity is a short story about a boy starting at a new school - his first day of high school. Things don't go well for him, but the day starts to get better as it passes.

The story is in two versions - one in the present tense (perfect for students returning after the summer break having completed French level 1) and one in the past tense (for students returning after level 2). After you finish the readings, there are comprehension questions and a story retell/rewrite activity. The readings are in printable pdf form as well as a PowerPoint version of each reading - read together as a class or assign for individual reading.

What's included:

  • 2-page short story in French with glossary of new words
  • 1-page reading in French about la rentrée in class
  • PowerPoint version of the short story with AI-generated illustrations
  • Comprehension questions about the non-fiction reading
  • Comprehension questions about the short story - present and past tense versions
  • Retell activity for the short story

Teacher reviews

“I used this to start the year. It was great to start the semester in a comprehensible way and not jump to review grammar concepts. It set the tone for what I wanted the semester to be.”
Amy M.
“Lots of material to speak, read, write in TL. My students enjoyed the illustration with a touch of silliness to keep them speaking.”
Melanie T.
