Grade: Date: 25/02/2026
Subject: French
Lesson Topic: In the home (e.g. rooms, living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, furniture and furnishings, garden, household appliances)
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the main rooms of a house and their functions in French.
  • Identify and use adjectives for size, colour and material when describing furniture and garden items.
  • Name common household appliances and state their typical locations.
  • Compose a short paragraph (80‑100 words) describing one’s own home using at least ten target vocabularies.
  • Participate in a role‑play dialogue to ask and answer questions about a house.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Printed vocabulary cards with images
  • Floor‑plan diagram of a typical house
  • Worksheet for writing task
  • Audio recording of the sample dialogue
  • Whiteboard and markers
Introduction:

Begin with a quick “What’s your favourite room?” poll to activate prior knowledge. Show a short video of a house tour in French and ask students to note any familiar words. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to describe every part of a home clearly and accurately.

Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5'): Matching cards – students match French room names to pictures.
  2. Vocabulary Presentation (10'): Teacher projects tables of rooms, furniture, garden items and appliances; brief pronunciation drill.
  3. Adjective Practice (5'): Quick board race to pair adjectives with nouns (e.g., « grand canapé gris »).
  4. Dialogue Modelling (15'): Play audio of the sample dialogue, analyse structure, then pair students for role‑play.
  5. Writing Task (10'): Students write a 80‑100‑word description of their own home using a checklist of required vocab.
  6. Review & Exit Ticket (5'): Whole‑class recap of key vocab; students write one sentence describing a room on a sticky note.
Conclusion:

Summarise the main vocabulary groups covered and highlight a few well‑written student sentences. Collect exit tickets as a quick retrieval check. For homework, ask students to create a labelled floor‑plan of their house in French, using at least twelve of the new terms.
