Approaches:
Younger classes could simply use numbers to give points

Older classes would use the language of opinions and/or justifications and / or classifications.

It is probably not necessary (but could be interesting with certain learners) to explore the meaning of the lyrics.

For extension or homework learners research other French songs and present their choice with opinions in a subsequent lesson

Rationale:
Age-appropriate texts may well include contemporary music, e.g. from YouTube or other sources. A ‘Best of ..’ collection such as this French one

Outcomes:
Engagement with authentic cultural texts
Interaction in groups
Communication in French
Depending on age - expressing opinion, giving reasons, comparison, description
