Letter de l’unité: Bonjour!
For our next French mini unit we will be looking at animals, with a special emphasis on animals that live in zoos. This unit is perfect for grade 6 students, as the vocabulary within the unit is very approachable for beginner students, but there will also be many opportunities for students to challenge themselves as well. During this unit we will work on identifying different animals, learning about where they live, what type of foods they eat, how to describe their characteristics and how to provide directions in relation to other animals.
This unit will cover the meet the following Prescribed Learning Outcomes
(PLO’s) from the grade 6 french irp.
Communicating:
• Make and respond to simple requests • Express preferences and interests
Acquiring Information
• Express acquired information in oral and visual forms
As we will be covering a lot of vocabulary and concepts during this unit, there will be a class time set a side for completing the assigned work in class whenever possible.
I have included my three‐vocabulary assignment in this unit as well. They are the word search, the “adjectifs” and the “what foods they eat”. I look forward to some amazing work being done by our students in this unit.
Merci beaucoup!

4. Presentation of New Material a. Listening/Speaking ‐Animal Pictionary (10 mins)
i. Break up students into five groups. Give each group an envelop with twelve different animals. Each group member will take turns to act out while the different type of animal. There are no words and you would like to encourage each group to name the animals in French if they can.

Have the students stick the cards to their foreheads and then have them walk around and ask other people for clues about their animal. You can do one game when they make sounds, one that they act and one that they ask questions in French. If time permits, you could have the students try and find other students with the same animal.

Lesson 3
Lesson Overview:
For this lesson the students are going to learn about different types of foods they eat and how they are similar/different to foods that animals eat.
PLO’s:
• Express preferences and interests
Materials:
• Sentence stems for the listening/speaking activity • Food activity sheets for the different types of foods animals eat
1. Attendance – mot ‐ courir
2. Warm‐ up – Have the class line up their desks in lines of 4 or 5. The groups
are going to take turns conjugating the word manger on the board. After the first round, have the students repeat with the word courir.
3. Homework – Have the students share two to three sentences they came up with for their homework. Collect the sheets from the students when they are done.
4. Presentation of New Material a. Listening/Speaking –What types of food do you like to eat? (10 mins)
i. For this activity the students are going to learn how to express whether they like and dislike certain foods. Have students get into partners and have them come up with five things they like and dislike eating using the following prompts on the board;
1. J'aime manger…… 2. Ma chose préférée à manger est….. 3. J'adore manger
ii. Next, use the following sentence stems and ask the students to tell a partner something they do not like.
1. Je n'aime pas manger…… 2. Je déteste manger……
iii. Once the students have shared their five sentences with each other, have them connect with another student in the class to share their likes and dislikes. After a couple minutes do a quick pole of the students to see if their taste of food is similar to those of others in the class.
b. Reading/Writing – Types of food animals eat (10 mins)
-
i. Hand out the “Quel type de nourriture de ces animaux mangent” activity sheet. Go over the examples at the top of the page and ask for student volunteers to explain the definition of what herbivores, carnivores and omnivores are. The students must try to identify which group each of the eight animals below to. Next, they will use the words at the bottom of the page to identify some of the more specific things the animals like to eat.
c. Game – Telephone (10 mins)
i. Ask students to get into a circle. For this game the first students will say the name of an animal and say whether it is a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. The person next to their left will have to name an item that the animal would eat in its diet. If they were successful then the person to their left would say one and so on and so on. If a person were not able to name a food, they would be out. The next person would say a new animal and their food category. A person would also be out if they repeated something that was already said.
5. Conclusion
a. At this point the students should be getting a good grasp on different types of animals and be learning about different ways to describe them. Now it would be a good time to introduce the zoo unit activity and handout. Give a brief outline about the project and ask the students to look over it tonight for homework and bring questions to class tomorrow.
i. Devoir – go over the zoo unit handout, think of questions for next class.

Create Your Own Zoo Unit Project
The final project for this unit will have you creating your own ideal zoo. Over the course of this unit you will be introduced to a variety of new vocabulary and ideas.

one another) • Hours of operation • Types of foods your animals eat • Your animals natural habitat in the wild • Cost of Admission • You must use as much French as possible
You can work in partners for this activity if you like. You will make a 3‐4 formal presentation of your zoo to the class on the final day of this unit, November 23rd. Your zoo can be either drawn by hand or made through the use of technology.
Evaluation:
This project will be worth 30% of your semester’s grade. There will be two evaluations, a class evaluation and a teacher evaluation. The feedback given by the classmates will consist of 50% of the mark, while the teachers will make up the other 50% of the grade.
You will be given some time in class to work on this project, but please make sure you stay on task. In order to finish this assignment you will need to do work outside of class time, so please come prepared to work on your project in class when given the opportunity.
Please find attached a copy of the project’s grading rubric that will be used to grade this assignment. Please take a look at the document and let me know if you have any questions.

The person to their left will have to think of another animal that starts with the last letter of the animal the person to their right said. If someone cannot think of an animal, then they are out and the next person can start with a new animal. You cannot reuse the same animal twice; if you do then you are out.
3. Homework – Go over the zoo unit final project. Answer any questions the students may have. Go through in detail again the expectations of what is to be included, stress that the final presentation of the zoo can be drawn or done on the computer and go through the rubric with the class.

Tell the students that when they get one of these patterns to come up, cross it out and put their own name on that space. The teacher will only be pulling a name, no picture. It will be up to the player to recognize when one of their animals are called.
