This French reading comprehension activity will teach your students about Marie Antoinette. “Let them eat cake!” Marie Antoinette never said this, but most people don’t know more about her than that famous ‘quote.’ Learn about the real woman who was the Queen of France during the most difficult period in French history. From her marriage to Louis through her execution by the guillotine, this article will educate and challenge your French students. Intermediate low learners will be able to understand the reading with scaffolding and teacher support while Intermediate mid and higher will be able to read independently.

The Marie Antoinette Boom™ cards version includes:

• Reading in French about Marie Antoinette
• 8 comprehension questions in English
• 8 comprehension questions in French

Assign the cards you want students to do, with the English questions, the French questions, or a mixture of both.
