Activity Overview
Conjugation practice is essential in every language student's journey to mastering a language. In this activity, students will create a conjugation chart with -er, -ir, and -re verbs. As part of their chart, students will include a scene that illustrates the connection between each pronoun and its conjugations. The example and instructions use the present tense, but this activity can be adjusted so students can practice any tense.

Student Instructions
Practice conjugating the present tense for -er, -ir-, and -re verbs and illustrate your sentences.
- Click "Start Assignment".
- In the first column, practice conjugate an -er verb for each of the 6 pronoun categories.
- In the second and third columns, do the same for an -ir and -re verb.
- Create an illustration for each sentence using appropriate scenes, characters, and items.
For this activity, you will practice conjugation of French verbs in the present tense. Use the template to choose a regular -er, -ir, and -re verb to conjugate for each of the six French pronoun categories. Design a simple image to illustrate the verb for each pronoun, then write a simple sentence below the image. For the verb “regarder”, for example, you might use the same image of a TV being watched all the way down the column, while simply changing the characters and sentences to suit the pronouns. Refer to the sample storyboard as a guide.
