Publisher's Description
Publisher/Developer's Description:
Trésor Components:
- 14 readers
- One Teacher Guide
- 14 CDs – one per story
Trésor is a collection of 14 original stories for Core French students in grades 7 – 9. The stories have been created to show students that the literacy skills they develop in their Language classes (L1) can also apply to their French classes (L2). The readers contain numerous illustrations and photos and have been carefully designed to appeal to students of this age.
The readers contain specific discussion topics to help students make connections, predict, show their understanding, state their opinions, make judgments, and so on. In addition, students are given specific reflection tasks to help them think about their learning and judge their efforts and skills as learners.
The Teacher Guide contains specific notes on literacy skill development, how to teach strategies, differentiated instruction, and assessment, and includes a series of Assessment BLMs. The Teacher Guide also contains specific notes for individual stories, a range of graphic organizers as blackline masters, 90 summative assessment cards on card-stock paper, and two rubrics (one for oral assessment and one for written assessment). The cards contain written or oral tasks, with scaffolding questions on the back, and are generic to all the stories.
Each of the CDs contains the recording of one story that teachers may use in Literature Circles or in a listening centre. The CDs contain a variety of accents; they are read slowly to help students better understand.
Using Trésor, students will gradually take on more responsibility for their learning, following the Gradual Release of Responsibility model.
