Préparer l’histoire — Zoé écrit le mauvais mot

Today's Mission

Use the short transition routine (days, dates, numbers, months, greetings), then follow teacher-led TPR and listening so you can understand tomorrow’s story.

Learning Targets

  • I can show meaning for key story verbs with gestures and short answers.
  • I can contrast pairs like écrit/efface and demande/donne during oral input.
