Description
Looking for an engaging French Thanksgiving activity for intermediate or advanced students? Un Dîner Spécial is a humorous French reading comprehension short story provided in two differentiated past-tense versions.
Students practice passé composé and imparfait in context, while advanced readers can also work with several examples of the passé simple.
The story:
A bull, a pig, and a turkey notice that a special season has arrived. Inspired by the magic of the holidays, they plan a “tanksgeevink” unlike any celebration the world has seen.
But what could possibly go wrong?
The unusual premise gives students an entertaining reason to read closely and follow a complete narrative in French.
TWO DIFFERENTIATED VERSIONS
- Version 1: Four-page story using imparfait and passé composé
- Version 2: Four-page advanced version using imparfait, passé composé, and several instances of passé simple

For Claude Monet French Reading Comprehension Activities Impressionism
October 16, 2026My students were familiar with Claude Monet's work but didn't know much about his life, so this was useful info not in our textbook. I appreciated having the differentiated versions.

For French Reflexive Verbs | Grammar Lesson, Readings & Worksheets
October 14, 2026Great way to use history to review reflexive verbs while not just focusing on daily routine - which let's be honest, is boring. Who talks about their daily routine on a regular basis? No one.

For Les Animaux Reading Comprehension: 10 A2 French Animal Passages
October 10, 2026I left this as a packet for level 2 students in addition to other work when I was out for a few days due to surgery. I offered a few bonus points if they selected 2-3 readings to keep them busy when everything else was turned in. They loved learning about animals and many students who didn't have time while I was out chose to complete the entire packet on their own time for fun once I was back.

Thank you for letting me know about the missing link - I've updated the image and it should be working now. You may have to F5/refresh to get the link to show properly (it covers the body of the statue).

- Nobody ever notices the French teacher to give them awards for anything! My students, my family and my mom like me - is that enough? Oh, and my beer league hockey team won the championship several years ago.
