To begin a new unit I usually create a slideshow with images students can relate to and then write a paragraph or sentence about the images. Students study the image, relate it to the text and then ask the following question, “Est-ce que les cheveux blonds veut dire blond hair?” They will earn a reward (like group points) just for asking the question even if it is wrong or quite obvious. They fill in a vocab page for the unit accordingly. Invariably, when we get to the last slide, they ask, “Is that all?” It’s all in the pictures you use.
