This French reading comprehension activity will allow you to read a short story, entirely in French. It tells the origin story of an unconventional hero.

Josh is a typical boy, until he goes on a camping trip and everything changes. He starts being polite, he develops weird food preferences, and suddenly develops mad hockey skills. What is happening to him, and how will he use these new powers for good instead of evil?

The story is written almost entirely in the present tense, with limited vocabulary (and a glossary of words included). It is suitable for first year students towards the end of the year, or intermediate students.

The Boom™ cards version includes:

Reading in French about Canadaman
7 comprehension questions in English (6 multiple choice, 1 short answer)
7 comprehension questions in French (6 multiple choice, 1 short answer)
Assign the cards you want students to do, with the English questions, the French questions, or a mixture of both.
