La poule Maboule Kit *2018 Edition

In response to teacher feedback, this kit has many new features... more technology, fully-described lesson plans, focus on thinking skills and creativity!

The Play

This is the adapted version of the popular fairy tale, La poule Maboule. It is the perfect way for very young student to begin a new story. They come to the new language with a known context, so that words are predictable. Lots of repetition and humor, drama, music and dance are found throughout to engage students from the very first day!

Both Core and Immersion teachers have been thrilled with Histoires en action ! pour les tout petits, the AIM resource for young beginners. This Kit is designed for Core French teachers. 
We have a new Immersion Kit, based on La poule Maboule that you may view here:

    We solve many of the challenges language teachers face.

    The Gesture Approach

    The AIM is a methodology that supports students by providing strategies and techniques that ensure student language acquisition and a high level of engagement. The Gesture Approach allows students to visualize, hear, say and 'feel' the language simultaneously, resulting in rapid proficiency development.

    A Literacy- and Arts-Based Approach

    Through the use of story and drama, songs, raps, and dances, students are moving to the language as they create meaning. Scaffolding and cooperative learning strategies help all students - the shy, weak, and strong - to find great support and success.

    High-Frequency Vocabulary

    One of the most important aspects of AIM that ensures student success is the high-frequency vocabulary (Pared-Down Language) that threads throughout every aspect of this methodology. AIM is designed such that each word is repeated extensively, allowing students to develop a strong foundation for language proficiency.
