Description

The Empreintes Growing Bundle is a proficiency‑based intermediate French curriculum adapted from the successful Huellas Spanish curriculum. Designed for upper‑level French learners, this curriculum provides strong scaffolding for productive language skills while grounding instruction in high‑interest, globally relevant themes that motivate students to communicate with purpose.

Empreintes is built on comprehensible input, meaningful communication, and proficiency‑based assessment. Inspired by AP themes, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and ACTFL proficiency guidelines, these units integrate language development with cultural studies, music, authentic texts, and real‑world issues. The result is a flexible curriculum that maximizes instructional impact while minimizing teacher planning.

This is a growing bundle. When you purchase the Empreintes Growing Bundle, you receive immediate access to all currently published units plus every future unit added to the curriculum at no additional cost. The adaptation is ongoing and moves at a realistic pace, as the curriculum is created by full‑time classroom teachers. Buying now locks in the introductory bundle price and guarantees access to the complete Empreintes curriculum as it expands.

Currently, 8 of 30 planned units are included in this growing bundle.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This unit provides incredible value. At least 2 weeks worth of highly detailed lesson plans, including all the materials you could possibly need. The resources are compelling and engaging, and have helped my intermediate French students improve their fluency in discussing art, reading artist bios, and learning more about the power of art to impact people emotionally. This saved me hours and hours of planning time. A wonderful resource, and I will be looking at other units in this collection.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is such a comprehensive and well-planned CI unit. Would love to have more French units available!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time purchasing a CI based unit and I was very happy with how easy it was to implement. It was a nice change of pace from textbook teaching that I am required to do and the students really enjoyed the unit the first go around. I bought this back in 2018 and I have used it every year since.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this unit for my French 3, French 4, and second year IB French class! It’s a great review for older students and extremely engaging for my younger ones! I loved this unit and only hope that Carrie can make more like it! It’s fantastic!
