EXTRA PRACTICE 242 Teacher’s Edition • Lesson 5B Section Goals In this section, students will learn -er verbs with spelling changes. Scaffolding • Model the pronunciation of all forms of acheter and espérer. Have students practice the difference between closed é and open è. • Go over the conjugations of all three verbs. Guide students to notice that, like regular -er verbs, spelling-change -er verbs are “boot verbs.” • Point out that infinitives often follow forms of espérer. Example: Il espère gagner. • Ask questions using verbs from this section, encouraging student responses. Examples: Où est-ce que vous achetez du pain? Que préférez-vous: du lait ou de l’eau? Combien de SMS envoyez-vous par jour? Have students provide both oral and written responses. Individual Write a pattern sentence on the board. Ex: Elle envoie une lettre. Have students write down the model, and then dictate a list of subjects (Ex: Pascal, nous, mon frère), pausing after each one to allow students to write a complete sentence using the model verb. Ask volunteers to write their sentences down on the board. Pairs Ask students to prepare five questions containing spelling-change -er verbs and interview one of their classmates. Ex: Élève 1: Est-ce-que tu préfères l’hiver ou l’été? Élève 2: Je préfère l’été.
