PEI ELA French Immersion study plan

Map the Domain 1 blueprint into a checklist of grammar, vocabulary, and text-type subskills, then rate your confidence on each item from 1 to 5.

Review English syntax fundamentals (phrase structure, clause types, coordination and subordination) and write 10 original sentences that demonstrate each structure.

Build a personal error log of 15 recurring usage problems (e.g., subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, tense consistency) with a corrected example for each.

Read one short English literary excerpt and annotate it for diction, imagery, and sentence rhythm, noting how form supports meaning.

Analyze how English morphology and etymology (roots, prefixes, suffixes) build academic vocabulary, and classify 30 exam-relevant terms by word family.

Compare English and French grammatical structures (adjective placement, auxiliary choice, pronoun order, negation) and tabulate 12 contrasts that could cause transfer errors.

Draft 8 short multiple-choice-style items on grammar or vocabulary and justify the correct answer and each distractor in writing.

Summarize the stages of first-language literacy development and connect each stage to a classroom implication for immersion learners.

Explain the core claims of second-language acquisition theory (comprehensible input, interaction, output hypothesis, noticing) and match each to one concrete immersion classroom move.

Distinguish BICS from CALP and identify three instructional decisions that change when a task moves from conversational to academic language demands.

Design a 20-minute French immersion activity that integrates content learning with explicit language focus, and annotate where each acquisition principle appears.

Describe how literacy transfers from English to French and name three cross-linguistic strategies you would teach explicitly.

Plan a sequence of three oral interaction tasks (information gap, opinion exchange, collaborative problem-solving) that push learners toward extended French output.

Write the teacher-talk script for one lesson, marking where you will simplify input, recast errors, and elicit student production.

Define a feedback protocol for oral French that separates meaning-focused correction from form-focused correction and states when each is appropriate.

Record yourself delivering 5 minutes of French instruction, then transcribe it and mark fluency breakdowns, anglicisms, and repair moves.

Practice close reading of English literary and informational texts by writing a thesis-plus-evidence paragraph for three different passages.

Identify and define 20 literary and rhetorical devices, then locate an original example of each in texts you read this week.

Compare two short texts on a shared theme and articulate the difference in argument or authorial stance with quoted support.

Analyze how French and English text structures differ (paragraph logic, connectors, formality) and note three comprehension traps for immersion readers.

Draft, revise, and finalize one 500-word English analytical essay using a visible planning, drafting, and revision cycle.

Apply a revision checklist covering organization, cohesion, sentence variety, and word choice, and document 10 concrete edits you made.

Produce a parallel 250-word French text on the same topic and inventory the errors you make in French that you do not make in English.

Teach one grammar or convention point through a 5-minute mini-lesson script that includes modeling, guided practice, and a check for understanding.

Design a formative assessment for a French immersion literacy objective, including a rubric with three performance levels and student-friendly descriptors.

Build a differentiation plan for one lesson that addresses three learner profiles (a newcomer, a strong bilingual, a struggling decoder) with distinct supports.

Sequence a 5-lesson mini-unit that names both the content objective and the language objective for each lesson and shows where they reinforce each other.

Outline a tiered intervention response for a student below benchmark in French reading, naming screening, progress-monitoring, and instructional adjustments.

Synthesize all seven domains into a one-page concept map showing how content knowledge, pedagogy, and assessment connect in immersion instruction.

Complete a timed 60-question mixed practice set across all domains and log your accuracy per domain.

Re-teach your three weakest subskills from the error log and the practice set, writing a short explanation of each in your own words.

Rehearse and record a 10-minute response explaining how you would plan and assess an integrated French immersion literacy lesson.
