Empreintes 1.3 Ose !

Ose ! is a French 3 CI curriculum unit from the Empreintes 1 French Curriculum sequence designed to build proficiency through visual storytelling, meaningful discussion, and comprehensible input. In this one‑to‑two‑week unit, students engage with a high‑interest commercial through a clip chat that encourages them to think about risk‑taking, overcoming fears, and dreaming big.

This proficiency-based French 3 curriculum unit provides a rich context for interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication. Through scaffolded listening, reading, and discussion activities, students describe actions and emotions, reflect on personal goals, and communicate about future plans in a meaningful, engaging way. While the unit naturally supports discussion using the conditional tense, instruction remains focused on comprehension, communication, and confidence rather than isolated grammar practice.

Ose ! can be used as a stand-alone French 3 thematic unit or as part of the growing Empreintes 1 French curriculum sequence. The unit works well for intermediate learners and is accessible for teachers who are new to clip chat as well as those with extensive experience using CI strategies.
