Each unit
includes
- a pre-reading exercise
- a level specific reading
- one or two comprehension exercises
- a vocabulary extension exercise
- a level specific grammar exercise
- an oral exercise
- a written assignment
- a vocabulary list
- key words to facilitate an Internet search
- a complete answer key
- some units have both a teacher's guide and model tests
Every exercise, including those that review the grammar have additional
information and continue the theme presented in the reading. For
example, in the chapter about Napoleon, every exercise, reading,
vocabulary, grammar, oral and written, deals with this theme. The
vocabulary of the family is reviewed through Napoleon's family and the
student discovers how he crowned various siblings and expanded his
empire. Thus the student at the elementary level is learning meaningful
information about the French speaking world while reviewing grammar,
practicing orally and writing. Students can do further research on the
topic by using the key words at the end of each unit.
* This is not a sequential series and each copy
master can be used independently.
