Hello, Year 7! Today, we’re going to embark on an exciting journey around the globe to discover French-speaking countries. But first, let’s set the scene with a fun and engaging activity.
Imagine you’re a globe-trotting explorer! To kick off our lesson, I want each of you to close your eyes and picture a French-speaking country. It could be somewhere you’ve heard about, dreamed of visiting, or maybe even a place you’d like to go in the future!
Visualisation: Take a moment to think about what you see in that country. Is it bustling streets filled with cafés? Is it beautiful mountains or sandy beaches?
The Challenge: Now, I’m going to play a short audio clip of a vibrant street market in Montmartre, Paris, bustling with life and filled with the sounds of French speakers. Your task is to listen carefully and jot down any words or phrases you might recognise, or anything that represents the French culture you can think of!
Pair Share: Once the audio ends, turn to the person next to you and share your thoughts. What did you imagine? What can you remember from the clip? Did any particular sights or sounds stand out?
Great job, explorers! Now that we’ve warmed up our minds with some creativity and imagination, let’s dive deeper into our topic! We will be learning about various countries where French is spoken, the cultures, and the fascinating aspects that make each place unique.
Through maps, multimedia presentations, and interactive discussions, we’ll investigate:
So, grab your imaginary passports as we travel across continents and unravel the wonders of the French-speaking world!
Are you ready? Let’s kick off our exploration with the first country on our list: France!
