Are you wanting to use French comprehensible input in your classes, but:

• You are required to use a district textbook?
• You need a little bit of structure as you get your feet wet with comprehensible input?
• You are required to give a district final, but want to use CI to teach your classes?

If so, this comprehensible input unit for French is for you!

This unit is the perfect complement to a district curriculum or textbook - it covers some of the typical vocabulary and grammar taught in the second semester of French 1, but with a more communicative approach.  Work through the unit with circling and repetition and at the end of each unit, your students will be amazed at how much they can do with the language!
