French Lesson Plan



French Lesson PlanLes Vêtements - ClothesTopic: Les VêtementsGrade level: 7Time: 45 minute lessonObjective: After completing this lesson, students will have gained knowledge of new vocabulary, which will be used in everyday situations when speaking French. The activities students participate in will build on prior knowledge of grammar concepts while introducing new vocabulary; all activities will remain within a student’s Zone of Proximal Development. Overview: During the warm-up activity, students will use prior knowledge to apply the ‘–er’ verb endings to the verbs we will be using in this lesson. The grammar focus lesson allows students to build on their French writing skills while reviewing vocab. The main activity, creating a dialogue, allows students to engage in all six writing strands (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing). Students can perform their skits as a concluding activity. Or, if time permits, the teacher can test student’s listening skills as they draw in the ‘Extraterrestre avec les Vêtements’ activity.PLOs:CommunicatingAsk for and give simple informationExchange information about themselvesParticipate in classroom activitiesBegin to derive meaning in new language situationsMaterials / Teacher prep:Ice Breaker – ‘Roll the Dice’Pre-made dice with ‘je’, ‘tu’, ‘il / elle / on’, ‘nous’, ‘vous’ and ‘ils / elles’ written on the faces.Grammar Lesson – ‘Les Vêtements’ booklet.You will need to produce a booklet for each student. See attached picture for template.Main Activity - DialogueNo materials needed and no teacher prep required, however, props are optional for this activity.Closing ActivityOne blank piece of paper for each studentVariety of coloured markers.Cross Curricular ConnectionsLanguage ArtsStudents will be engaging in all 6 of the language arts strands.DramaStudents will perform their dialogues as a skit. You can extend this activity by allowing students to bring in props to build character and performance. ArtIn the ‘Extraterrestre avec les Vêtements’ activity, students will be drawing and can experiment with a variety of art materials.

While students are participating in the ‘Roll the Dice’ activity, the teacher will write the vocab for this unit on the board. The teacher will review each word and it’s English translation with the students. As an adaptation, this can take the form of “Qu’est-ce qu’il y a dans le sac à dos?’Grammar Focus Lesson (10 mins)Overview:Students will complete the booklet ‘Les Vêtements’ by completing the sentence “Je porte (clothing article) (colour).Prior Knowledge Required for this activity:This grammar activity also serves as a review activity. Students will already know how to describe nouns using colour, and they will also be able to construct a negative sentence e.g. “I am not wearing ____.”ActivityReview the following vocabulary by copying this chart onto the board:Repeated SentenceClothing ArticlePossible ColourJe porte….Je ne porte pas …un t-shirtbleules chaussettesblancun chapeaubrunune roberougeun pantalonvertles chaussuresnoirOn each page of the booklet, there will be an article of clothing drawn. On the lines above the article of clothing, students will write if they are wearing that piece of clothing, and what colour that article of clothing is. If they choose, students can colour the pictures.Example: Je ne porte pas un t-shirt vert. Example: Je porte les chaussettes gris.To transition between the activities, the teacher will explain to students they will be using the same sentence structure to create a dialogue using the vocabulary on the board.Main Activity (25 minutes)OverviewStudents will be constructing mini conversations surrounding visiting a store and buying articles of clothing. IntroductionSet up a scenario whereby each student has been given a $200 gift card to a clothing store. Ask students to brainstorm a list of the clothing they would like to buy with their gift card. Main ActivityAsk students to find a partner and share their list. With their partner, students will create a dialogue surrounding buying coloured garments in a store. Students can choose to either both be shoppers or one student can be shopping and the other can be a store associate.Review the following example dialogues with students:Example dialogue for store associate:“Bonjour, bienvenue à cette magasin!”“Salut! J’aime ce magasin! Je trouve des vêtements parce que j’ai une carte cadeau.”“Ah, fantastique! Qu’est que ce vous aimez acheter?”“Je voudrais acheter deux pantalons, deux t-shirts et les chaussures. J’aime le jean bleu et les t-shirts noir et pourpre.”“Excellent, qu’est que vous aimez cette jean?”“Oui! J’adore le jean! Merci beaucoup!”Example dialogue for two people shopping:“J’aime cette magasin. Tu achete ici?”“Oui, hier j’ai acheté une robe. Aujourd’hui je voudrais acheter les vêtements pour mes pieds; je trouve les chaussettes et les chaussures.”“Quelle couleur chaussures?”“Je pense les chaussures noir ou blanc. J’aime les chaussures blanc.”“Qu’est que vous aimez ces chaussures?”“Non, je n’aime pas ces chaussures? Mais, j’aime les chaussures ici. Je pense que je vais les acheté.?”The teacher will separate the class into 3 groups and each pair will perform their dialogue to their group. This strategy will make it difficult for the teacher to assess each student. However, I believe the audience will be more engaged when only listening to 3-4 dialogues rather than 10-12.This is also an opportunity for peer-assessment. Students will hand in their dialogues to the teacher for assessment purposes. Students can either perform their dialogues to the class or, to review the vocab and act as an exit slip, the teacher can lead students through the following activity.Closure / Culminating Activity (5 mins)Extraterrestre avec les VêtementsEach student has a blank piece of paper and a variety of coloured markers. The teacher will call out an article of clothing and a colour and the students have to draw the article of clothing on their alien. AssessmentTo assess written skills, the teacher will collect both the ‘Les Vêtements’ booklet and the students’ written copies of the dialogues. In the booklet, the teacher will assess for correct grammar through sentence formation as well as checking for masculine/feminine and spelling.In the dialogue, students will be assessed on flow, clarity and including a variety of vocab. The teacher will assess for pronunciation and verbal fluency during the performance of the dialogue.Students will be continually practicing vocabulary throughout the unit. Student’s comprehension will be tested in a vocab test at the end of the unit.Note: It is important that the teacher assess students in terms of individual improvement rather than against other students. Follow-up / Extension ActivitiesThe dice from the warm-up activity can be repeatedly used throughout the year.The teacher may like to collect the ‘extraterrestre’ papers and place them on a board in the classroom, or around the room. When students return to the classroom, after lunch or the next day, they can participate in a ‘walk around the room’; this may include placing post-it notes of positive comments about their peer’s work. This would be a great community building activity and a chance for students to see the different pictures.AdaptationsIf students particularly enjoy performing, the ‘Extraterrestre avec les Vêtements activity can be left out and students can enjoy performing and listening to the work they have already created. 0000 ................
