Bring Australia Day to life in your French classroom with this rich, culturally responsive reading comprehension resource. Designed for Years 9–10 students at CEFR A2–B1 level, Lis et réponds gives students the opportunity to engage with authentic perspectives on Australia Day through two original French texts — moving from familiar traditions to complex, real-world voices.
What's inside:
Text 1 — Le 26 janvier en Australie introduces students to Australia Day traditions, multiculturalism, citizenship ceremonies, and the ongoing national debate around the date — all in accessible, vocabulary-rich French.
Text 2 — Que pensent les Australiens ? presents three compelling first-person perspectives from Amara, Uncle Raymond (Wiradjuri Elder), and Charlotte — each offering a distinct and thoughtful viewpoint on what January 26 means to them.
Each text is accompanied by three levels of comprehension questions, scaffolded to support all learners:
Level 1 — Compréhension littérale: Students locate key information directly from the text
Level 2 — Compréhension inférentielle: Students read between the lines and explain meaning in English
Level 3 — Compréhension évaluative: Students give their own opinion and justify their thinking in French
Also included:
A vocabulary challenge (Défi vocabulaire) across both texts
Generous writing lines throughout for comfortable classroom use
A full teacher answer key with suggested responses and marking guidance for all three levels
Australian Curriculum links: AC9LFR10C01 · AC9LFR10C03 · AC9LFR10U01 · AC9LFR10U03
PDF and editable Word document included
This resource is:
Fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum: Languages — French, Years 9–10
Culturally sensitive and balanced, acknowledging multiple Australian perspectives respectfully
Print-ready with all student instructions written in English
Suitable for one to two lessons, or as an assessment task
