Have you ever realized that your students are struggling to describe what they did over break? With the amount of breaks the French school system has, you would think that the students would be able to properly describe what they did over each break. Yet time and time again, I find myself having to help them pronounce how to correctly say 'beach' in regards to vowels. So, in order to crush what seems to be an ever ending cycle, I decided before the beginning of Spring Break to go over some helpful vocabulary words. What made this lesson even more fun was that after the kids finished writing the definitions for each word, I tested their memory by dividing the class up and playing hang man. This really helped the student retain what they had just learned and utilize their spelling and comprehension skills to the max.
