This French reading comprehension activity will teach your students about the mysterious prisoner kept hidden behind an iron mask. It is suitable for novice-high/intermediate-low students with teacher guidance and higher level students to work independently. If you teach AP French, this reading can be useful in giving your students practice reading non-fiction articles for the interpretive section of the test. The reading can lead to discussion or writing activities to include the other two modes of communication.

Who was the mysterious man in the iron mask? Learn about the prisoner who died without revealing his identity – even two hundred years later, we still are not entirely sure who he was.

Includes reading in French with glossary of less-common words and 6 comprehension questions in both English and French.

The Man in the Iron Mask Boom™ cards version includes:

• Reading in French about the Man in the Iron Mask
• 6 comprehension questions in English
• 6 comprehension questions in French

Assign the cards you want students to do, with the English questions, the French questions, or a mixture of both. Most questions are self-grading.
