Activity Overview
As students learn to pose questions in French, they will need to master interrogative adjectives. Take advantage of storyboard visuals to provide students with practice asking and answering questions. In this activity, students will use a T Chart to ask questions about scenarios and answer them. Students can create their own scenarios, and must practice inverting their questions and using interrogative adjectives in each question.
Make the assignment more complex by requiring questions and answers to be written in a particular tense or using a variety of pronouns. Simplify the assignment or convert it into a worksheet by providing the images and/or response for your students, asking them only to frame an appropriate question. For oral practice, eliminate the text altogether and have students present their image sets in groups, asking their classmates to invent logical questions and responses.
