Les Albums Jeunesse

This week, Grade 6 French students read des albums jeunesse (children’s storybooks) that they wrote and illustrated to Ms. Nilsen’s Kindergarten class. Ms. Nilsen’s class just finished a unit on story telling and so were able to put their knowledge to work in summarizing the beginning, middle, and the end of the stories that were read to them! Grade 6 French incorporated their newly learned classroom vocabulary with prepositions of location to write creative stories that followed their characters on adventures and quests. The Kindergarten students interacted with the story by locating the characters that were hidden in the pages and explaining what they could understand of these stories that were being told in French! The 6th grade students loved sharing their works with Ms. Nilsen’s Kindergarten class!
