French 1 Curriculum | Full-Year Resource for Beginning French

A Complete French 1 Curriculum for the School Year

Planning a full year of beginning French can take an enormous amount of time. This French 1 curriculum gives you a ready-to-use collection of lessons, activities, practice, assessments, and engaging ways to get your students using French throughout the year.

Designed for beginning French students, this full-year curriculum includes resources for building vocabulary and grammar while giving students regular opportunities to practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

What’s included?

• 10 units covering the major vocabulary and grammar topics typically taught in French 1
• 40+ assessments and quizzes
• 100+ speaking activities
• Hundreds of printable worksheets and practice activities
• Vocabulary and grammar activities
• Games and interactive practice
• Boom Cards for digital practice
• Projects and other application activities
• PowerPoints for teaching and presenting new material

The resources are designed to give you flexibility. Use the materials as your primary French 1 curriculum, supplement your existing textbook or program, or choose individual activities when you need additional practice, review, speaking opportunities, or a change of pace.

Save Time on French 1 Lesson Planning

Instead of creating worksheets, activities, games, speaking practice, and assessments from scratch, you’ll have a large collection of ready-to-use French teaching resources organized around the progression of a beginning French course.

Whether you’re a new French teacher looking for support or an experienced teacher who wants to spend less time preparing lessons, this collection gives you materials you can use throughout the school year.

The individual resources have a combined value of more than $900, while the complete curriculum is available as one discounted collection.

This French 1 curriculum is intended for teachers working with beginning French students in middle school or high school, including Core French and introductory FSL classes.

✨Who is this French 1 curriculum best for?✨
This year-long corresponds to the American course of French 1 or French 1 A/B. For Canadian core teachers, please look at the concepts included to see if this is a match for your teaching needs. You might find that the French 2 curriculum is more what you need.

As this is a bundle for FRENCH BEGINNERS, you will see that many of the student notes pages have English on them. I may add a French-only version of some resources as time allows, but there is not a set timeline or guarantee for this.
