Example of a Balanced Literacy Lesson Plan
In the French Second Language classroom it is important for students to see French as a communication tool, rather than simply just another subject matter. As a result, students must be given authentic and engaging learning opportunities to help them develop their communication skills. The following is an Immersion lesson plan that focuses on developing students oral, reading, writing and thinking skills that I adapted from Passeport vers la littératie for my grade 9 class.

Persuasive Writing Exercise
This lesson plan is designed to help grade six students begin to think about the use of persuasive writing to produce a desired effect. Using popular infomercials as a starting point for discussion, this lesson seeks to build upon students' prior knowledge of how word choice is used in advertising so that they can begin to think about how they can consider specific word choice in their own writing. Although this lesson plan was written for my Secondary English Methods course, it would easily be adapted for use in a French Second Language class.

Introduction to Poetry
This grade 7 lesson plan is intended to introduce students to poetry by bringing their attention to the fact that poetry exists in many forms. Using the popular Katy Perry song "Firework", students examine lyrics to identify the use of poetic literary devices such as alliteration, personification and assonance. In a French Second Language class, using a French song to teach poetic devices can also have the added benefit of exposing students to French culture.
