This resource features a lesson on the province of Quebec with activities and a video in French. Students will develop their listening comprehension skills through the pre-viewing and post-viewing activities. Additional activities include writing a postcard and creating a dialogue.

The following lesson is optional.These are two Skype lessons that were planned with a 2nd grade teacher from Guatemala, for our students to connect and meet one another via a virtual form of communication using Skype. I was connected with a class in Guatemala with the help of Teachers 2 Teachers Global (For more information see Digital Resource for Skype Project in the Instructional Unit). The purpose of this activity was so that my 2nd grade Dual Language students could communicate in Spanish with a 2nd grade class in Guatemala who was learning English at their school. This lesson was developed by Gabriela Bermingham as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

In this activity, students will deepen their understanding of the present indicative by playing a game called "Verdad o Mentira?"

In this lesson plan for novice high second language students, students will negotiate, in pairs, a time to meet. They will communicate about their daily schedule, appointments and events. The language structures include present tense verbs and expressions for telling time. Culturally, students will compare their daily life and school schedules in the US with schedules in the target culture. The modalities include interpersonal communication, writing and reading. This four-page lesson plan is applicable for any world language course. Included are suggestions for adapting and extending this performance task.
