The revised Student Activities Manual (SAM) provides oral and written activities that progress methodically from comprehension to expression. "Prononcez bien!" sections focus on a specific phonetic difficulty that students may encounter in each given chapter. The written activities in the SAM offer practice on every point of structure in the unit and culminate in a suggested composition that features a process-oriented writing approach and incorporates web-based research. A realia-based writing activity completes this section. In addition, "A l'écran!" sections provide activities based on the "court métrage" films of the video program.
