Vocabulary ry generation

• Padlet (already seen)
• What words do you think we will need to know?
• Google Forms
• Example here: Quels mots devons-nous savoir?

make a set so students can practice

Predictions

• Use a snipping tool (i.e. Microsoft Snip and Sketch, « Take a

snapshot » in Adobe PDF) to clip pictures and create a new document; post in your on-line environment with guiding questions

• Example: Les Predictions
