KS3 French - Ma ville

I have put together a few lessons introducing ‘ma ville’, which I typically do with Year 8 class but it could be adapted for Y7.

The attached document includes:

• Introduction of basic vocab (une piscine, une bibliotheque etc) and building up to list-style sentences ‘Dans ma ville, il y a…’
• Slides you could use to play ‘beat the teacher’
• Slides with images disappearing - I normally show for 30 secs, ask them to memorise and write on a whiteboard
• Slides emphasising il y a UN/E but il n’y a pas DE
• A text with options in it which I use as a speaking activity, but you could use as a supportive text for writing for a less able group too.
• Intro of basic adjectives eg. Ma ville est grande/belle/ancienne
• Speaking activity - I challenge them to speak for a full minute and ask partners to tick off vocab they include. They get points accordingly.
• An extension/HW activity to look up new places in town in the dictionary
• Intro of ‘Je voudrais…parce que ca serait…’ and reasons eg. utile, bien pour les jeunes
• Connect 4 grid for practice
• Model text with activities
