Description

This Extra French activities packet for episode 1 includes activities for the French version of the show.  Includes comprehension and vocabulary activities to make the episode more useful.

The show Extra! is a thirteen-episode series for French language learners. it takes place in a Paris apartment/dormitory and has four main characters - Sam, Nico, Sacha, and Annie. Sam is an American who is trying to learn French as well as to make some new friends. He has a secret that will affect the way he relates to other people.

Each episode can stand alone, although it is more interesting to start from the beginning and watch them in order. I spread the episodes out over the course of a semester, but you could do them more or less frequently.

I usually show these to my second-year students during the second semester. They have enough vocabulary to understand most of the dialog by this time. As the season goes on, Sam's French skills improve - and the level of language used by the characters also goes up.

The worksheets provide comprehension checks but also scaffolding resources.

In this packet you will find:

• vocabulary list with English translations

• vocabulary list with no translations - have students fill in while watching

• comprehension questions in French

• comprehension questions in English

• flashcards for the vocabulary list

• useful words section with translations and explanations

• word search

• two crossword puzzles - one for vocabulary and a second to go over the plot

• cryptogram - one with and one without a help guide. This particular activity is based upon Sam’s mistakes in speaking French. Have students decode the sentences and then correct his errors.

• A "Who Said It" activity to match the lines with the character.

• A cloze activity with words from the show and lines from the episode.
