Pop culture personalities | French

This product features one-page, easy to understand, basic biographies of 10 pop culture personalities. The biographies are written in simple French and are intended to be comprehensible to first year French students and beyond. The kind of information shared about each figure is similar so that students benefit from the natural repetition of vocabulary across all biographies. Some words are footnoted to support comprehension.

BIOGRAPHIES INCLUDED:

• Shawn Mendes
• Shakira
• John Cena
• Gina Rodriguez
• Kim Kardashian
• Adam Levine
• Post Malone
• Demi Lovato
• Daddy Yankee
• Cardi B

No activities are included; these are one page readings only.

Please familiarize yourself with these figures before making the biographies available to your students. Especially if you teach in a parochial school, your students' parents and administrators might take issue with you connecting your students to figures that live wild lives and sing songs with explicit lyrics. Be warned!
