I adapted this resource for my French 9 students when we had class fall on February 2nd. They enjoyed learning about this holiday, and I hope to use it again in the future.

Originally reviewed on TPTAppreciate the Variety of Choices!
I used this resource recently with my level 1 & 2 when I was absent for a few days. I appreciate the variety of choice for activities. I created different “packets” from the task options for each level. My favorite is the task where students have to unscramble the sentences. I added a followup and had them translate them on the back of the page:) My only request to make this resource even more useful would be to have the French text with English questions!
