Nous sommes 1 Unit 5

This resource includes everything you need to teach a comprehensive 9-day French 1 unit centered on the Tour de France, cycling, relationships, and authentic French-language culture. Students acquire language naturally through comprehensible input, personalized discussion, authentic music and videos, TPRS® storytelling, literacy activities, cultural exploration, and performance-based assessments.

They interpret authentic resources, analyze an infographic, read informational texts, watch real Tour de France footage, explore memorable moments from the race, and learn about the route and significance of this iconic French sporting event.
