Bonjour,

I always use Joe Dassin's "Le petit pain au chocolat" when I teach the
imparfait vs. passé composé. Not a new song so it might not be what you're
looking for, but it's been very effective.

On savait (devenir grand) by La Grande Sophie has a lot of imparfait. Can't remember if it also has passé composé. Contemporary song from Québec. Kids loved it. Here is a link to the music video on YouTube.

"J'étais là" by Zazie is an excellent song to use with students who have already seen the pc/imp but are working on a refresher.  I use it with my Level 3 students when we review pc/imp so that we can use some more advanced vocabulary to discuss feelings, emotions, actions and reactions.  I tie it in with life lessons (e.g., don't sit around and watch things happen - get involved in something meaningful!).  A very effective song for AP, too!

j'adore On savait devenir grand de la Grande Sophie. je l'utilise
toujours pour l'imparfait et les élèves l'aime beaucoup. Je l'ai meme
utilisé avec des étudiants à l'université.

J'utilise "Quelqu'un m'a dit" par Carla Bruni. Je la fais en classe
normalement avec les 3ème, mais on pourrait la faire aussi bien avec
les 2ndes ou 1ères si les élèves ne la connaissent pas.

Merci pour les idées et quelqu'un a déjà mentionné celle que j'utilise qui est aussi fantastique pour la Saint Valentin: Joe Dassin "Les Petits Pains au Chocolat". D'une année sur l'autre les élèves me la redemandent!

Par contre si vous ne connaissez pas, explorer le site suivant, il est génial!

Amusez-vous bien!

Can anyone offer some suggestions as to how to hold AP students accountable with films? I seem to struggle with activities for films.  I've had them stop and discuss, copy down certain vocab words or structures they hear.. but I am in need of new activities.  Any help is appreciated - Merci, Kelly Simon

Make it extra credit on your exams - my students would have done just about anything for that! Just refigure the points on the exams to compensate if you need to. We had really hard exams with Bravo! (4) and Connaissances et réactions (5) so I didn’t need to do that.  It was interesting that with the extra credit points the exam grades came out pretty close to their abilities (like A, B+ etc). I asked content questions in level 4 and 5, the only levels where we watched subtitled movies -- one film per 6-week grading period. I asked them in English but you could of course do it in French. Mostly I wanted them to watch the movie for the cultural aspects than learn vocab, etc. I also wanted them to develop the ability to watch and read subtitles at the same time. By the end of 5 many could tell when the subtitles were incorrect! My hope was that they would continue to watch French and/or foreign language films after HS.

There is a wonderful French teacher, Judy Sugarman, who is now retired and running an excellent company called FilmArobics with a variety of great lesson plans and films in French and other languages as well, with all the lesson plans covering a range of skills!  I’ve  used “Entre les murs”, and tons of others.  Check out their webpage to purchase, get on their mailing list, and just learn more! :

I like to have the students write up film reviews, (summaries) of the movie. They have to tell someone to see or not the see the movie and explain why. In that activity, they have to express their feelings, opinions, emotions, judgements about the movie. For something like "Entre Les Murs" they have to pretend they are a student in his class and write him a letter telling how they feel about his class or a certain situation that took place in his class. I like to have my students play the role of a character in the movie and to do a writing assignment from the point of view of that character. For something like Amelie, I have students make their own treasure box that contains five things. They bring the box to class and tell us about the things in it. They have to give lot's of descriptions and details. These are just a few ideas. Hope these help.
