Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5’) – Students match a few English food words to French on mini‑cards.
- Vocabulary input (10’) – Teacher projects the vocabulary tables, highlights gender/articles, and models pronunciation.
- Grammar focus (8’) – Guided practice conjugating manger in affirmative and negative sentences; quick thumbs‑up/down check.

- Dialogue modelling (7’) – Play audio/read the café dialogue, underline key expressions, and choral repeat.
- Pair role‑play (15’) – Students use cue cards to act as waiter and customer, swapping roles while teacher circulates.
