This will be an interactive class, conducted mostly in French. At the start of the class I will greet the students in French, ask how they are and what their names are. We will talk about what the students usually eat for breakfast. I will introduce/practise vocabulary about French breakfast foods and drinks and how to express likes/dislikes/preferences of these foods/drinks. As well as answering my questions, students will also ask each other questions and reply to each other. Students will eat traditional French breakfast foods and drink hot chocolate (or similar breakfast drink) during the class. Students will tell each other which French breakfast foods they like and dislike. They will also say if they prefer their usual breakfast or French breakfast. We will say goodbye at the end of the session. This class will include French vocabulary, information about French culture/food and social interaction. This class is suitable for beginners and students at all levels of French learning who enjoy French food! Please contact me if you are interested in this class at an earlier or later time. My schedule is reasonably flexible at the moment.
Learning Goals
Students will know what foods French children and young people eat and will be able to express likes/dislikes/preferences.
Other Details
Learning Needs
I have experience of teaching learners with unique learning needs and disabilities, such as ASD. Please let me know about your child's needs and I will make adjustments, such as additional processing time.
Supply List
Each student will need to have a selection of French breakfast items - croissants/petits pains au chocolat (sometimes known as chocolatines)/brioche (rolls or slices), baguette with butter and jam or Nutella. They will also need a knife. Mini croissants/petits pains au chocolat, if available, might be better, as they would allow the student to try more than one type of French breakfast pastry. Hot chocolate is the most common drink for children, though milk is fine (children in France wouldn't usually drink coffee). They usually drink from 'un bol' (see the class photo), but a cup or mug is also acceptable. Parents are the best judge of if their child can safely prepare the hot drink for their child - just be aware that a 'bol' can get hot. French children usually have a fabric serviette handy. I will provide a one page handout with the vocabulary used in class at the end of the lesson. I find students pronounce the words more accurately when they have not seen the words written down before the lesson.
