Unit 1 · 5 skills
Oral Communication
Analyzing, Comparing, and Judging Information
Analyzing information on a topic
I can analyze information on a topic in French - break it into parts and explain how they fit together.
Skill 1.1
Comparing information and providing a judgement
I can compare information on a topic in French and then give my judgement - which is better and why.
Skill 1.2
Describing the impact of choices
I can describe in French how a choice affects my life - the cause and its effect.
Skill 1.3
Discussing the effects of advertising

Skill 1.5
The official wording · 5 outcomes
- 1.1
- analyze information on a number of topics
- 1.2
- compare information on a number of topics and provide a judgement
- 1.3
- describe the impact of choices with respect to their lives
- 1.4
- discuss the effects of advertising on their lives
- 1.5
- discuss their hopes for the future
Key ideas
To analyze is to break a topic into parts and see how they connect - more than just repeating it.
Analysis openers: 'Il y a plusieurs raisons...', 'D'une part... d'autre part...' (on one hand... on the other).
Ask 'pourquoi?' (why) and 'comment?' (how), not only 'quoi?' (what).
Use 'parce que' and 'donc' (so/therefore) to show reasoning.
Compare first, then judge: line up A and B, then say which you prefer and why.
Watch out for
- Just repeating the information instead of breaking it into parts.
- Listing facts with no 'parce que'/'donc' to connect them.
- Comparing two things but never landing on a judgement.

Reading and Viewing
Reading and Assessing Advertising and Articles
Assessing an advertisement
I can read and assess a French ad or publicity message - what it promises and how it tries to persuade.
Skill 2.1
Comparing teen and adult magazine articles
I can compare and contrast a teen-magazine article and an adult-magazine article in French - content and format.
Skill 2.2
Reading age-appropriate fiction (guided)
I can read a short piece of age-appropriate French fiction in a guided situation and follow the story.
Skill 2.3
Viewing and responding to community media
I can view a representation or media about my community and respond to it in French.
Skill 2.4
The official wording · 4 outcomes
- 2.1
- assess an advertisement or other publicity message
- 2.2
- compare and contrast the content and the format of articles written for a teen magazine and a magazine for adults
- 2.3
- read age-appropriate texts of fiction in guided situations
- 2.4
- view and respond to a variety of representations and media in the context of community
Key ideas
Look for the claim ('le message'), the target ('la cible'), and the technique.
Persuasion techniques: slogans ('un slogan'), images, repetition, promises.
Assess = judge whether the ad is honest or exaggerated ('exagere').
Ask who the ad is FOR and what it wants you to do.
Content = what it's about; format = how it looks (length, images, vocabulary).
Watch out for
- Believing every claim an ad makes instead of assessing it.
- Describing the ad's look but never judging its message.
- Comparing content but ignoring format (or vice versa).

Skill 3.4
Detailing the negative aspects of advertising
I can write in French about the negative aspects of a piece of advertising, with specific details.
Skill 3.5
The official wording · 5 outcomes
- 3.1
- present information on a number of topics
- 3.2
- produce an opinion piece
- 3.3
- describe the impact of a choice they have made with respect to their lives
- 3.4
- create a publicity brochure or an advertisement
- 3.5
- provide details in writing about the negative aspects of a piece of advertising
Key ideas
Group related facts together instead of listing them randomly.
An ad needs a slogan ('un slogan'), a product/event, and a reason to choose it.
Open with the topic, then give supporting details.
Persuasive words: 'le meilleur', 'incroyable', 'ne manquez pas!' (don't miss it!).
Linking words for writing: 'de plus' (moreover), 'aussi', 'enfin'.
Watch out for
- Dumping facts with no order or linking words.
- Writing a plain description instead of persuasive advertising language.
- Starting with a detail before naming the topic.
