Description
Teach about French monuments with these fun and engaging French culture reading and vocabulary activities! This bundle includes engaging resources for 3 important sites in Paris to help your students begin to explore aspects of French culture. These no-prep activities with clear student directions make these activities perfect for substitute days, too!
Lead your students to discover 3 important sites in Paris through reading comprehension activities in English or French. With a variety of vocabulary worksheets and puzzles plus differentiated reading activities, it’s so easy to provide just the right challenge for all your learners as you discover French culture together!
You can use the English version for your beginners and use the full-French version for your more-advanced classes. You’ll also get links to videos to support the learning, so your students will really get to visualize these important French monuments!
Who are these French monuments activities best for?
- French immersion classes, grades 5+
- FSL grades 5+
➪Because these are informational texts, the reading will be more challenging than those found in my beginner differentiated reading activities. For level 1 and 2 students, I recommend using the English text with the English or French reading comprehension questions.

Originally reviewed on TPTQuality vocab and cultural info
I use this as a beginning of the year reading and speaking resource. Small groups work together and then share a few facts in their own words with the rest of the class. Low pressure since they aren’t talking about themselves and reactivates both vocab and cultural knowledge.

Originally reviewed on TPTMy Core French students in grades 6-8 loved these reading passages as part of our France Culture unit at the end of the school year.
