Big
Screen Readers
L'Automne
For less than
the price of one hardback book, you can purchase this book and use
it with your entire class. This is the first in my series of Big
Screen Readers, books on PowerPoint so the students can follow along
as you read to them.
Perfect for this
time of year, L'Automne will give your students season-specific
vocabulary as they increase their language skills through the classroom
discussion. Included are also a vocabulary matching and a translation
worksheet to accompany the book. All the materials are on the CD-ROM
and are.ppt, .doc or .pdf files.
The
Renny series of Big Screen Readers follows Renny
le chien through stories from her point of view. The stories
are told primarily in first person, which aids students in their
use of that form when talking about themselves. The stories follow
the Big Screen Reader format of a PowerPoint story with question
links to ask as the whole class reads the book together. There is
also a 5-worksheet packet on the CD-ROM that includes vocab matching,
comprehension questions and translation exercises.
As an added feature,
all Renny readers come with an MP4 video of Renny reading the PowerPoint.
With purchase of this book, the teacher may allow students in their
classes to copy the MP4 video onto their iPods for their own use.
Great for absent students or in-school suspension work!
This story is
an introduction to who Renny is, where she lives, and what her favorite
things to do are. Perfect for comparing and contrasting with the
students in your own class. Geared towards beginners.
This story is
Renny's look at how odd people are in the things they do. Comparing
and contrasting dog behavior with human behavior, Renny helps us
see the weird things humans do.
Pinta
the cat wants Renny to wake Deb up because she's hungry.
