Teaching Suggestions and Answer Key
The following notes may act as a guide to help the teacher use the various activities. With some
activities there are suggestions for variations that will help the teacher make modifications for
students with less experience or for those with greater competency in the French language. Not
all activities need to be used. The teacher should select the activities or variations that best suit
the teacher's program and the students in the class. To maximize the oral use of the language,
the teacher should, wherever possible, have activities read aloud in partners, small groups, or
within the class as a whole. A vocabulary list or mini-dictionary is on page 49. The teacher may
  wish to give this page to students before beginning the unit or as needs be.

Le jeune Houdini (pages 3-4)
Le jeune Houdini is a short story about a magic trick that doesn't work. When mother comes
home after work she is unable to find her son, Jerome. Jerome's sister, Diane, who is reading a
teen magazine, doesn't know where he is and isn't interested. Mother suggests he may be at
Denis's house or at school finishing work. Diane says he isn't and the school called to say he
wasn't at school in the afternoon. Mother and Diane search the house and the neighbourhood
but don't find Jerome. Mother calls his friend, Marie-Hilkne. Marie-Hklkne explains that
Jerome wanted to try a Houdini trick. He wanted to escape from the basement cupboard that she
locked him in at noon. Mother and Diane find him in the cupboard eating popcorn, drinking
pop, and reading comics with a flashlight. Jerome admits the Houdini trick didn't work but he
was prepared with food and drink.
Variationsf or. Presentation:
The teacher may pre-teach vocabulary in the story or give students a vocabulary list
(Vocabulaire, p. 49) to work their way through the story on their own.
The teacher may read the story aloud before giving the students a written copy. The teacher
may then read the story aloud again before having the students read it on their own or in
groups or partners.
The teacher may give a written copy of the story to the students to follow along as the
teacher reads the story aloud. The teacher may then have the students read the story alone or
in partners or groups.
The teacher may have the students read the story silently before the teacher or students read
it aloud.
The teacher may have various students read the story aloud and then have the students
reread it on their own.
...
DCcrivez (page 5)
After reading the story Le jeune Houdini @ages 3-4) students are to find adjectives to describe
each character. They need to pay attention to the gender of the noun and adjective. In most
cases, the adjectives are similar to the English, but if the students are not certain of the meaning,
they should use a dictionary. For more experienced students, the teacher may wish to leave the
list of adjectives off the page and have the students develop their own, using a dictionary.
Students are to write adjectives of their own choosing to describe themselves (Moi) and a
friend. The teacher may wish to brainstorm ideas with the class.
Answers may vary. Some possible answers are:
Houdini est I. remarquable 2. formidable
