TIME: Two
45-minute class periods
MATERIALS:
- Body part flashcards
- Song: “Bonjour, Monsieur” (attached)
INTRODUCTION/PREPARATION/ANTICIPATORY
SET:
The teacher asks students to name parts of the body in French. As students
name the parts, those flashcards are put on the board.
ACTIVITY:
The teacher reviews vocabulary for body parts previously
taught and introduces new French words for other body parts (to cover
all body parts mentioned in the song).
Student listen to and repeat the French word for each body part.
Students point to the appropriate body part when the French word in read
by the teacher.
Students recreate a body by assembling the body parts following instructions
in French.
The teacher models the song “Bonjour, Monsieur.”
Students work in groups of four to create movements for each body part
that “hurts” in the song.
Each group in turn signs their part of the song for the class, while
the rest of the class does the movements as each body part is being named.
The whole class forms a double line, and sings the song while doing the movements
for all of the body parts
EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT:
Students are assessed on their oral answers, the movements they create
and their overall participation.
