Imagine embarking on a journey to discover more about yourself while learning a new language! Today, we will dive into the French language by sharing things that make us unique. Let’s get ready to express who we are in French!

Once you've completed your map, we will pair up and take turns sharing one or two things from our maps in French. This is a great way to practice speaking while getting to know each other better!
Here are some useful phrases to help you in your maps and while sharing:
Learning about ourselves in a new language not only helps us practice but also helps us appreciate everyone's unique stories. As we move forward in today’s lesson, keep your Character Map handy. We will expand on these ideas and learn more vocabulary that will help us celebrate who we are!
Now that we’ve set the stage, let’s dive deeper into how to express who we are in French through interactive activities and games! Are you excited? I know I am!
