Unit 1 · 6 skills
La production orale et l'ecoute
Following Multi-Step Instructions and Retelling
Active listening strategies
I can use active-listening strategies - holding several ideas in mind and noticing sequence words - to understand a longer simple French message with more than one part.
Skill 1.1
Following multi-step directives
I can show I understood a spoken French instruction with several steps by carrying them out in the correct order.
Skill 1.2
Retelling in my own words
I can show I truly understood a short spoken French text by reformulating it - retelling the main idea in my OWN words, not just repeating.
Skill 1.3
Speaking, Justifying and Presenting
Strategies for speaking clearly
I can produce a connected French text of several sentences by sequencing my ideas, using natural fillers, and rephrasing when I get stuck.
Skill 1.4
Speech acts: justifying and reformulating in conversation
I can hold a short French conversation - expressing and justifying my view, and reformulating what my partner said to show I understood.
Skill 1.5
Giving a fuller presentation
I can give a fuller prepared French presentation - an opening, two or three sequenced ideas, and a justified conclusion - to my class.

- Employer divers actes langagiers pour s'exprimer, interagir et justifier dans des situations authentiques de presentation et de conversation.
Key ideas
Sequence words signal steps: 'd'abord' (first), 'ensuite' (then), 'enfin' (finally).
Sequence several ideas: 'D'abord... ensuite... enfin...' (First... then... finally...).
Hold several ideas in your head across a longer message.
Natural fillers buy thinking time: 'euh...', 'alors...', 'eh bien...'.
Listen for who-does-what across a short story, not just single words.
Watch out for
- Losing the earlier steps by the time the message ends - the sequence words anchor them.
- Stopping dead when a word won't come - rephrase or use a filler instead.
- Ignoring 'd'abord/ensuite/enfin' - they are your map through a multi-part message.

Unit 2 · 5 skills
La lecture et le visionnement
Reading and Retelling in My Own Words
Reading strategies to build meaning
I can use reading strategies - noticing text structure, skimming first then reading closely - to construct meaning from a longer simple French text.
Skill 2.1
Understanding and reformulating a text
I can understand a variety of simple French texts and reformulate them - retelling the main idea in my OWN words, in speech or writing.
Skill 2.2
Justifying my point of view fully
I can express and justify my point of view about a French text with more than one reason, linking them with connectors.
Skill 2.3
Reading Aloud and the Acadian Story of PEI
Reading aloud with expression and fluency
I can read a familiar French text aloud with fluency and expression, adjusting my pace and tone to match the text (a question, an exclamation, a calm sentence).
Skill 2.4
The Acadian story of Prince Edward Island
I can share more of the Acadian story of Prince Edward Island - the historic village of Rustico and the Farmers' Bank, and the Deportation of the Acadians (1755) as an important part of history.

Key ideas
Text structure clues: a title, headings, and a first sentence tell you the topic.
Match your voice to the punctuation: '?' lifts, '!' brightens, '.' settles.
Skim first for the gist, then read closely for details.
Read a dialogue with different voices for different speakers.
Use everything you know: cognates, word families, sentence context together.
Watch out for
- Reading closely from the very first word - skim for the gist first.
- Reading everything in one flat tone - match tone to punctuation.
- Using only one strategy - Grade 6 readers combine several.

Unit 3 · 3 skills
L'ecriture et la representation
Writing Fuller Texts in My Own Words
Strategies to guide my writing
I can use strategies to guide a fuller French text - making a short outline, drafting then re-reading, and using connectors - so my text is organized.
Skill 3.1
Writing a fuller personal or opinion text
I can write a fuller French text on a familiar topic - a paragraph with connectors and more than one reason - organized with a beginning, middle and end.
Skill 3.2
Writing a short informational text
I can write a short informational French text - a few organized facts about a familiar topic - in my own words, showing that French writing includes more than personal stories.
Skill 3.3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 3.1
- Appliquer des strategies d'ecriture pour orienter sa production ecrite.
- 3.2
- Ecrire une variete de textes simples sur des sujets familiers.
- 3.3
- Ecrire une variete de textes simples sur des sujets familiers.
Key ideas
Outline your text in parts: beginning, middle, end (or idea 1, idea 2, conclusion).
Draft first, then re-read and improve - writing is more than one step.
Use a range of connectors: et, mais, parce que, donc, d'abord, ensuite.
Reformulate a model in your own words rather than copying it.
A paragraph has several linked sentences on one topic.
Watch out for
- Writing a final version with no draft or outline - Grade 6 writing is planned and revised.
- Copying a model word-for-word - reformulate it in your own words.
- Writing disconnected sentences - a paragraph links them with connectors.
