Halloween Counting Books: French and Spanish Writing Project


Developing writing skills in novice-level language learners is always a challenge.  Writing tasks must be clear, simple, and highly structured.  I’d like to share a simple Halloween writing project I’ve done with 5th and 6th grade students.  Working in pairs or small groups, students wrote and illustrated a 10-page book.  The writing is a pattern-practice for beginners.  They simply had to choose various elements and recombine them into original sentences.  Here’s one in French from a few years ago.


The directions are available as a ready-to-go student handout in French or Spanish.  Click the links for ordering info:
