| Title | Suggestions for Teaching Telling Time |
| Body | FLTEACH I am about to introduce telling time in French to my 2 Level 1 classes. I have used manipulatives before (each student gets a little clock on which they have to set the time that I or a classmate says). Does anyone have any other ideas for teaching this unit? Door, K.

Re: French: Telling Time.

It usually sparks a good TL conversation about whether or not they've seen it or if it is good or not etc. Landrum, L. Re: French: Telling Time. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 16 Sept 2006). --- After they learn the basics, I start randomly asking them Quelle heure est-il? at all times of the period, very randomly, to see who is getting it and who isn't, every day, going forward. We also play telling time bingo. We also make paper plate clocks which they design and decorate, to quiz each other. Steriadis, M. Re: French: Telling Time. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 16 Sept 2006). --- Une autre idée: le jeu de la gare 2 paquets de cartes (une couleur pour chaque categorie): les heures et les villes Le chef de gare (un élève) doit annoncer l'heure de départ ou d'arrivée du train: "Le train qui vient de Paris va arriver en gare à 8:30 au quai numéro 1" par exemple Les autres élèves doivent comprendre et écrire sur un papier le nom de la ville et l'heure. Le premier qui a trouvé devient le chef de gare... C'est un bon "warm-up". Steinam, P. Re: French: Telling Time. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 17 Sept 2006). --- One of the activities my students enjoy is the "living clock". Have each student stand facing the clock and while you call out the times _in order_ they move their hands to represent the time. I think this help some of them get the idea of "moins" as they come _up to_ the hour. I tell them to just think of moving their left hand/arm when they hear "moins".
