These activities challenge learners to \u201ctransform\u201d a phrase in the target language to demonstrate knowledge of a particular grammar rule or pattern.<\/p>\n<p>These activities can be used to demonstrate nearly any grammar concept: transforming present tense into past tense; singular into plural; formal speech into informal speech; statements into questions; and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In the examples below, learners are asked to transform the verb tense in a series of French sentences from pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9 to l\u2019imparfait. Accompanying notes reinforce the concept, providing examples of when it\u2019s appropriate to use the tenses.<\/p>\n<h2>Transform &amp; Say It<\/h2>\n<p><em>Transform &amp; Say It<\/em> focuses on spoken transformations. The activity kicks off with instructions about what kind of transformation to make. Then, they\u2019ll see and hear a phrase and must think or say the transformed phrase out loud. After seeing and hearing the answer, they can self-report whether or not they transformed the phrase properly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-641\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/cl-150-bulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2020\/06\/Transform-and-Say-It-GIF.gif\" alt=\"CL-150 Transform and Say It learning activiity\" width=\"600\" height=\"328\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Transform &amp; Write It<\/h2>\n<p><em>Transform &amp; Write It<\/em> follows the same process, but instead of speaking and self-reporting answers, learners must type the transformed phrase and will receive immediate feedback if they make a mistake.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-642\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/cl-150-bulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2020\/06\/Transform-and-Write-It-GIF.gif\" alt=\"CL-150 Transform and Write It learning activity\" width=\"600\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can expect to see these image activities appearing in some of our upcoming lessons, including CL-150 Cohort lessons in the coming weeks, but both activities are already available for use in your custom lessons created with the CL-150 Lesson Authoring tool!
