French Teaching Resources. PowerPoint: Paris

This PowerPoint Presentation shows pictures illustrating Parisian vocabulary and tourist attractions. When I teach this I first ask the students to come up with as many tourist attractions as possible. As I show the PowerPoint I share additional facts about the attractions and/or I allocate each student an attraction to further research and feedback to the class.

Vocabulary/ Attractions:

Les arrondissements
La Tour Eiffel
La Seine
Un Bateau-mouche
L’opéra Garnier
Les Champs-Elysées
La Cathédrale Notre-Dame
Le Louvre
Le musée d’Orsay
L’Arc de Triomphe
Le Sacré Coeur
La Grande Arche de la Défense
Paris Plage
La Cité des Sciences de La Vilette
Le Centre Pompidou / Beaubourg
Le métro
Le Stade de France

There is a picture of each piece if vocabulary/attraction and I elicit the pronunciation. There are then Vrai ou faux? slides and finally a slide with all of the vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
