Lesson Plan

• Identify and correctly pronounce at least ten modes of transport in French.
• Conjugate regular -er verbs and the irregular verbs aller, prendre, partir, arriver in the present tense within travel contexts.
• Use key travel expressions to ask for and give information about tickets, times, and routes.
• Write a short paragraph describing a planned journey, incorporating appropriate vocabulary and verb forms.

• Projector or interactive whiteboard
• Printed handouts with vocabulary lists and dialogue
• Audio recording of a ticket‑office conversation
• Worksheet for fill‑in‑the‑blank and matching activities
• Flashcards of transport modes and travel verbs
• Exit‑ticket slips

Begin with a quick image‑prompt of a bustling train station and ask students to name any French words they recognize. Review previously learned travel vocabulary, then outline today’s success criteria: use correct verbs, ask and answer travel questions, and produce a short written itinerary.

1. Do‑now (5'): Students match French transport terms to English meanings on the board.
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Present and drill the present‑tense conjugations of regular -er verbs and the four irregular travel verbs.
3. Listening activity (8'): Play the ticket‑office audio; students note time, price, and destination.
4. Guided practice (12'): Complete the fill‑in‑the‑blank worksheet in pairs, checking answers with the teacher.
5. Role‑play (15'): Pairs enact a ticket‑purchase dialogue, varying destination, time, and mode of transport; peers use a checklist to give feedback.
6. Writing task (10'): Individually write a brief paragraph describing a planned journey, using at least three travel expressions.
7. Exit ticket (5'): Students write one thing they mastered and one question they still have.

Review the key verbs and expressions highlighted during the role‑plays, confirming that students can ask for tickets and give travel details. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding, and assign homework: create a illustrated travel brochure for a French‑speaking city, using the vocabulary and structures practiced.
