Students are welcome to use the language learned in the class with family and friends when they eat French breakfasts in the future.Assessment
I will give verbal feedback during the lesson and brief written feedback for parents after the lesson.Class Experience
This will be an interactive class. At the start of the class I will greet the students in French, ask how they are and what their names are. 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. They will speak when they are not eating or drinking, so that good table manners are used. 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! The classes around Christmas and the New Year will include Christmas and New Year greetings.
Learning Goals
Students will know what foods French children and young people eat and will be able to express likes/dislikes/preferences.
Other Details
Supply List
Each student will need to have a selection of French breakfast items - croissants/petits pains au chocolat (sometimes known as chocolatines)/pains au raisins/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 may wish to prepare the hot drink for their child, as a 'bol' can get quite 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 learners pronounce the words more accurately when they have not seen the words written down before the lesson. I will also provide a worksheet with the outline of a ‘bol’ on, so that the learners can decorate their own ‘Bol’ during or after class.
