Approaches:
- Starter : Quels sont les lieux que vous n’aimez pas? Pourquoi? Provide sentence stems if needed.
- Video clip : class work in pairs – each pair has a listener and a watcher. Listeners write down all the words they hear. Watchers write down what they see (not just nouns: verbs & adjectives too) – use French or English, look up unknown words with partner.
- Play the video again and partners swap roles. Share findings briskly.
- Skim read the lyrics: Find words which indicate a negative opinion. Share findings briskly.
- A deux : Qu’est-ce que la chanteuse n’aime pas à Paris? Où est-ce que la chanteuse voudrait vivre? Share findings briskly.
- Translate the lyrics orally in pairs. Share findings briskly!!
- Work on the key sounds: listen again to the clip. Listen for rhymes and repetition of sounds (assonance). Share findings.
- Play the just a minute pronunciation game, focusing on the silent letters on the end of words.
