De vele emoties die de personages op Storyboard That kunnen weergeven, bieden studenten een leuke manier om de Franse aanvoegende wijs te oefenen. In deze activiteit gebruiken studenten personageposities en -uitdrukkingen om een storyboard te maken dat oefent met behulp van de conjunctief. Studenten kunnen algemene subjectieve zinnen gebruiken, zoals "je suis content que ..." of "nous sommes tristes que ..." in hun storyboards. Om ervoor te zorgen dat het gebruik van de conjunctief duidelijk is bij alle voornaamwoorden, geeft u op dat studenten alleen -ir, -re en onregelmatige werkwoorden gebruiken.

Maak een storyboard om te oefenen met behulp van het conjunctief / indicatief met behulp van een aantal gemeenschappelijke afhankelijke clausules die emotie, mogelijkheid of zekerheid uitdrukken. U maakt hiervoor een storyboard met twee kolommen volgens de onderstaande specificaties.
Start your lesson by connecting the subjunctive mood to students’ daily experiences. For example, discuss situations where they express hopes, doubts, or emotions (e.g., "I wish it would snow"). This helps make grammar more meaningful and relatable for your class.
Demonstrate how to use subjunctive constructions by creating a short story together as a class. Pause to point out subjunctive triggers (like feelings or uncertainty) and highlight the verb changes. This visualizes grammar in context and keeps students engaged.
Assign students to small groups and give each group a set of emotion cards and scenarios. Have them act out situations where they must use the subjunctive mood (e.g., "I'm afraid that..." or "We're happy that..."). This encourages speaking practice and makes learning interactive.
Create or display charts showing subjunctive verb endings for -ir, -re, and irregular verbs. Use color-coding or symbols to emphasize differences. Refer to these charts during activities to support visual learners and clarify patterns.
Have students swap their storyboard work and use a simple checklist to review each other’s use of the subjunctive. Encourage them to give positive feedback and gentle corrections. This builds confidence and helps catch common errors early.
The French subjunctive is a verb mood used to express emotions, doubts, wishes, and possibilities. In class activities, use it when students write or speak about things that are uncertain, desired, or subjective, such as feelings or hopes.
To teach French subjunctive constructions with storyboards, have students create scenes where characters express feelings or doubts (e.g., "Je suis content que..."). Students illustrate each sentence, ensuring correct subjunctive usage and matching character expressions.
Common sentence starters include: Je suis content que... (I am happy that...), Nous sommes tristes que... (We are sad that...), Je ne suis pas sûr que... (I am not sure that...). These help students practice subjunctive forms naturally.
Students should use a mix of -ir, -re, and irregular verbs (like être, avoir, aller) to cover all pronoun forms while practicing the French subjunctive in their storyboards.
1. Have students select a character and choose six different facial expressions.
2. For each, write a dependent clause expressing emotion (e.g., “Je suis triste que…”).
3. Complete each sentence using the subjunctive.
4. Illustrate the full scene to visualize the emotion and grammar.
