This Versailles French Comprehensible Input Lesson tells the story of the famous palace built by Louis XIV but in a simple and comprehensible way.

Comprehensible input is important in a world languages class – but you can’t always do stories. This is a French comprehensible input lesson that uses target structures in a comprehensible way to teach about a nonfiction topic – the palace of Versailles. The text is simple enough for first semester French.

The target structures are:

• voulait
• il y a
• habitait
• aujourd’hui

This Versailles French Comprehensible Input Lesson includes:

• A 30-slide PowerPoint with repetition of the target vocabulary
• a text version of the PowerPoint
• comprehension questions
• a grammar explanation and exercises for most basic forms of the imparfait
• a story retell sheet with photos – one for writing, one for oral retell
• a list of associated videos
• a complete answer key
