Jessica CrockettFrench Lesson Plan: Comment ?a va?Grade: 2 (Primary. Intro to French, beginner lesson. Depends on school policy)Objective: Students will learn how to greet each other by asking,” How are you?” Comment ?a va? And reply according to how they are feeling by answering, “It’s going very well, well, not very well, or so-so.” Ca va très bien, ca va bien, ca va mal, ca va comme ci, comme ?a. They will also return the question and say good bye, “And you?. . Goodbye” Et toi?. . Au revoir. Rationale: I chose to do this lesson because it is extremely important for students to be able to at least, greet others and engage in a short polite conversation before they try to master grammar or larger conversations or concepts. This lesson plan is:1. Manageable: Does not include too much prep, is not an extremely elaborate plan and needs hardly any prior knowledge. 2. Measureable: Is evaluated and assessed through observations and a worksheet, also afterwards as part of the morning attendance.3. Made First: The objective of the lesson and PLO’s were known before the activities were created. 4. Most Important: The activities directly reflect the intended learning. The students know exactly what it is they are supposed to be learning and have multiple chances to practice their skills before being evaluated. PLO’s: Ask and respond to certain questionsIdentify greeting and expressions of politenessTime: 30 MinutesMaterials: Cut out pictures of different faces on them with the feelings written underneath - These must be large enough to see clearly at the back of the roomA Large chart paper with the French greeting and conversations written downMatching pictures with feelings worksheetPrior Knowledge: The class has already gone over bonjour and au revoir, and have learned the song, “Bonjour, mes amis,” with actions included. They’ve also learned the song, “Au revoir mes amis.” WARM UP: (2 Min.)Sing “Bonjour, mes amis,” with the class to say hello to each other. Bonjour, mes amis, bonjour!Bonjour, mes amis, bonjour!Bonjour, mes amis,Bonjour, mes amis,Bonjour, mes amis,Bonjour!Bonjour, mes amis!MAIN ACTIVITY: (20 Min.)DIRECT INSTRUCTIONTeacher: Tell the students they did a great job at singing the song. Ask the students if they can think of what they might do to be polite after they’ve just met someone and said hello. Students: Give suggestions. Teacher: Write their suggestions on the board and then tell them that they are going to learn how to ask and respond to, “how are you?” Ask if anyone in the class already knows and can say it out loud. On the chalkboard, write Comment ?a va? Point to it and say, “comment ?a va, how are you?” Stick a large printed question mark beside it. Tell the students that it says, “how are you?” Get them to turn to a partner on all each sides of them and say, “Bonjour, comment ?a va?” to one another. Students: All turn toward a partner, greet and ask, “Bonjour, Comment ?a va?” Teacher: Once they are done, ask them for a few different kinds of responses in English. After each response, if it is one you have printed out in French (smiley face and feeling), stick it to the board, translate meaning and give an action to it. Get students to repeat. Go over the feelings/phrases and model the actions that go along with the feelings of the students. Explain that ca va means it’s going and use the examples you have come up with. After each emotion, get the students repeat after you and do the actions. Responses/Feelings:Ca va très bien - two thumbs upCa va bien - one thumb upCa va comme ci, comme ?a - one hand out with fingers spread parallel to floor, shake back and forthCa va mal - one thumb downGUIDED PRACTICETeacher: Get them to repeat after you while you ask, “Comment ?a va?” First, give them a full answer including action and have them repeat. Then answer with only the action or only the words. Get them to repeat it after you with both actions and words. Do this a few times for each response having them guess which emotion you are describing by doing the full action and speaking.Students: Directly repeat after teacher and then come up with action or feeling on their own. Teacher: Tell them they are doing a great job! Then tell the students that when they are asked how they are dong, that they should respond with an emotion and of course ask, “and you?” Write on the board – et tois. Students: At the same time, get the students to ask you, “Comment ?a va?”Teacher: Answer with and emotion and include, “and you? et tois?” Get the students to answer you.Students: At the same time answer with an emotion – doesn’t matter which one they say.Teacher: Congratulate the students on their language skills. Model with the students a full greeting conversation. Get them to start by saying bonjour to you.Students: “Bonjour”Teacher: “Bonjour” Students: “Comment ?a va?”Teacher: “Ca va bien, et tois?”Students: “Ca va, . . .”Teacher: Nod and say, “Aaahh, au revoir!”Students: “Au revoir.”Try it the opposite way with teacher starting. INDEPENDANT PRACTICETeacher: Put up chart paper with conversation on it. Read over it with students. Get them to stand up and have them walk around the room while asking and responding to the greeting and question they have just learned- including actions. They can look at the chart paper if they need extra help. The pictures and emotions will also still be up on the board. Students: Walk around asking and responding to the questions. Teacher: Get students to sit back down in their own desks. Ask a few of them how they are and engage in a conversation in front of the rest of the class.Teacher: “Bonjour, Sally!”Student: “Bonjour, Miss Crockett!”Teacher: “Comment ?a va?”Student: “Ca va bien, et tois?”Teacher: “Ca va très bien!”Student: “Aaah, au revoir”Teacher: “Au revoir”CLOSING ACTIVITY: (8 Min.)Teacher: Take down the ‘smiley faces’ off the board. Hand out a worksheet. Have the title, “Comment ?a va?” Have the four pictures of facial expressions on the left hand side. On the right hand side have the French feelings written out (mal, bien, très bien and comme ci, comme ?a) on the left hand side. (See attached materials.) Have the students draw a circle around a picture from one side and match it with the emotion in French on the other side. Read over the feelings, depending on the age of your students and their reading ability. Have the students hand their work in for you to assess and go over. Hand them back next class and go over the worksheet. Put the pictures of the ‘smiley faces’ back up on the board or the wall for a few weeks so students can use as prompts and helpers. Alteration: Go over the worksheet in class with the students. Ask them to hold up either their red, yellow, or green signs (something they use to let you know whether they understand, kind of understand or need help with). Lesson Extension:When taking attendance every day, in French, greet the students and ask how they are doing and have them respond using the phrases they have learned. Assessment: For this lesson, I would mostly use formative assessment. First I would make sure they were able to use actions to enhance the phrases in the first part of the lesson. I would then assess through the guided practice activity to make sure they understood and could connect with the feelings rather than only repeat them. I would then use observational assessment as they walked around the room to listen in on their conversations. Lastly, I would use the written worksheet as a summative assessment and evaluation. I would also use the red, yellow or green cards as another type of formative assessment. I would also assess the students consecutively each day when I did attendance and asked them how they were that day.
