Labo d'Écoute
This resource is great for an individually-paced journal to make sure students are practicing listening comprehension. It's also great to bring out on days when you need an emergency lesson plan--especially in remote learning as it can be individualized.I like to use this for my more advanced students to do each weekend due Monday. It gives them the chance to practice French outside of school and also discover some cool new podcasts, videos, and shows.
