Coronavirus French reading activity for Boom Cards™

This Coronavirus French reading will teach your students about the pandemic that swept across the world in 2020.

The news is full of stories about the spread of COVID-19, the newest strain of coronavirus. But what is a coronavirus, and how dangerous is it? What can we do to protect ourselves from it?

This reading for intermediate and advanced French learners (year 2 and above) will explain where the virus came from, how it became a pandemic, and what the symptoms are.

Learn about the heroic doctor in China who revealed that this new disease was rampant, despite threats from the Chinese government. Includes two versions – one with questions in English, one with questions in French.

You can see the previews here and here.
