Introduction:
Begin by asking students what they imagine doing after school, linking their aspirations to the French education system. Review the key vocabulary for schools, subjects and study tools that they have previously learned. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to describe their own educational pathway and use infinitive constructions correctly.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5') – Students write three sentences in French about their current school day, using at least two of the new vocabulary items.
- Vocabulary & expressions review (10') – Teacher projects the list; quick matching game to reinforce meanings.
- Grammar focus (15') – Mini‑lecture on infinitive after verbs (apprendre, commencer, finir, etc.) followed by sentence‑transformation practice.
- Listening activity (10') – Play an interview excerpt; students answer three comprehension questions.
- Writing task (15') – Students compose an 80‑100 word paragraph describing a typical day at school or university, incorporating the target vocab and infinitive structures.
- Role‑play (15') – Groups of three act as orientation counselor, student, and parent, using cue cards to discuss study options.
- Consolidation quiz (5') – Exit‑ticket or Kahoot with three questions on vocabulary and grammar.
|
Conclusion:
Summarise the new vocabulary and infinitive structures covered, highlighting common errors observed. Students complete an exit ticket by writing one sentence about their future study plans using an infinitive after a target verb. For homework, they draft a short email to a prospective university asking about a course, applying the language practiced today.
