French IR verbs Grammar Snacks

Do you need a quick grammar lesson on French IR verbs? This PowerPoint and handouts explain the concept clearly and concisely with more detail and examples than most textbooks have. Go through the PowerPoint with your students as they take notes on the handouts. Includes examples in context with a reading passage about climbing defensive castles.

Many textbooks do not include enough examples of using French IR verbs, or they don’t show the verbs in use in any meaningful way.

This French grammar lesson plan will guide your students by introducing the most basic concept then building on it with examples and practice activities.

Students are then challenged to “level up” by changing a passage in the singular form to the plural.  Once you’ve learned how to use IR verbs, the reading activity will show them in action – learn about the purpose and history of defensive castles.
