One of my 8th grade students (Lucas) has some more suggestions for Mac users:
To help if you’re lazy and/or don’t feel like clicking the mac link, here are the basics:
For aigu, press option + e
For grave, press option + `
For cedille, press option + c
For each of these, you then type the letter you’re putting the accent on.(excepting ç, which is automatic)
Note: Option + Shift + ^, to my knowledge, will NOT create a circonflexe. To get that, you need to use the article linked to in this blog post.
