This French Christmas lesson will teach your students about the holiday season in France.

Comprehensible input is important in a world languages class – but you can’t always do stories. This is a lesson that uses target structures in a comprehensible way to teach about a non-fiction topic – how France celebrates the Christmas season. The text is appropriate for 2nd semester French and later.

The target structures are:

• les enfants
• les cadeaux
• décoré
• on mange

This item includes:

• an editable 18-slide powerpoint with repetition of the target vocabulary

• a text version of the powerpoint

• comprehension questions in both French and English

• a story retell sheet with photos – one for writing, one for oral retell

• a list of associated videos in both English and French

• a complete answer key
