In my grade 4 class, we are at the point of compiling the final task in the unit "Souvenirs de ma famille." Students will create a family album which will include key elements such as a cover page, dedication, a diagramme of their extended family and a poem entitled, "J'aime ma famille." Most of the students have completed their poem with an illustration and are now working on the cover page. 

The teacher manual includes a one-page dedication but I wanted to cut back on photocopying and reduce paper consumption. The copywright date also begins with 19 which is a tad outdated. So I decided to make my own in a smaller size in order to fit two on a single letter-size page.

As part of our grade 4 unit Logos-animaux, my students create their own version of the story Droles de chats. I like to call it a poem. It is an opportunity for them to use the adjectives we have studied in the unit and use the correct form based on the gender of the animal they have selected. They will also need to use the correct form of the possessive adjectives mon and ma.

After the students have written a rough draft in their writing books, they use a blackline master or template that I have created in Microsoft Word to write out their good copy and illustrate their animal. I have embedded the file below which you may download and use in your own FSL classroom.
