Les Miserables: Flipchart Pre-Lesson/Introduction for Movie

This flipchart lesson contains over 10 slides of information about the novel "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. The chart uses colorful photos from the most recent film version of "Les Miserables," which stars Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean.

I use this lesson on the plot of Les Mis as an introduction to the story before showing the film in my French III class. The level of French utilized in this lesson is best suited for French 3 or 4, but it can be taught at lower levels through assisted reading!
