Stagg French

Ability awareness in the French classroom! Love that students are incorporating visits to Café Joyeux in their stories about dream visits to Paris. youtube.com/watch?v=o5ZdxC…

One of the best parts of talking with my former student from ISU today, who came to observe classes, is hearing about how so many of our Stagg alum are studying to be teachers! Future French, music, science, elem tchrs! Today's toddlers will have wonderful guides in their future!

So, so excited to have Tiffani Kawa, class of 2022 and student at ISU (and a future French teacher!) in our classes today for observations and conversations with students! Merci pour la visite Tiff! #ictfl #aatf @aatf

Merci once again @jbaniewicz for organizing this year's alumni event at @StaggHighSchool ! Precious chance to catch up with fantastic students like Lina and Alivia, class of 2023! ❤️❤️❤️

World language classes are the place to be to develop interpersonal skills! Not only will you pick up a second language, you'll also strengthen your active listening & presentational speaking skills in your first language! #21stcenturyjobskills #bilingual forbes.com/sites/rachelwe…

Getting ready for our second middle school visit! Today we meet 8th graders from Palos South. Last week had had fun meeting 8th graders at Conrady. @conradyjaguars @PalosSouth118 #highschoolworldlanguages

One of the *best* sounds of the day is hearing the hum of a class full of students showing off their language skills ♥️ French 3 is giving some feedback on our anti-stress activities from last week as part of a mental health unit.

Penpal replies for French 1 & 2, trying out & evaluating les activités anti-stress in French 3, 4, and AP incl méditation, breathing, physical fitness, creating art! Busy day in the French program but a great way to end the week! #penpals #frenchlanguage #langchat #5adaydisco

Picking up SO much at #actfl2023 incl inspirational & transformational guidance for world lang review, engaging activities for languageacquisition, tips on using AI to create cool content for st's to play with, i.e. role play mini dialogues that my students will love acting out!

How would I use this? Maybe compare / contrast activities, have students "respond" to the characters created, create a Google map of where everyone is located. Any other ideas #langchat ?

Playing with story writing on ChatGPT. Here's my prompt, in the comments - pics of other prompts & story results: Write a novice proficiency level story that includes the following actions: vois, vais, aime, m'amuse, m'ennuie, veux, suis, ai with a total unique word count of 30

#langchat This was a spontaneous effort from a student, purely from student motivation, and now I'm wondering what other spontaneous uses of language you've seen?

When a French 1 student teams up with a French 3 student to write an alternative ending to one of the Novice stories we used in class ♥️♥️♥️

One of the things that gets us excited to learn languages is the potential of travel, thinking of all of the fascinating places around the world where we can potentially use our French language skills. Do you know where in the world we'd see this glass structure?

Took conversation practice outdoors in French 1! Today's topic: les préférences. Students have a long list of pairs of choices (le café ou le thé? Grey's ou House? etc) & they discuss which they prefer. I'll add screenshots of the choices in the comments soon! #staggspeaksfrench

We're ready to meet you Class of 2028! Stop by to visit the French classroom and try out some French trivia for candy (bonbons)!
