French 1: Friday February 8 2013 Lesson Plan

DUE: Les Devoirs: Vocab Writing Practice! Write all 5.2 vocab listed above four times.

[5 minutes] Oral Warm-up! Weather Conversations!

• Students go around room asking everyone else, "Quel temps fait-il?"
• Each student responds with one of the weather phrases on p. 163.
• The student who asks must respond by acting out that weather (shivering for froid, blowing away for du vent, etc.)
• CAH checks homework during this time.

[15 minutes] More Oral Practice: Where are you going?

• CAH/TA lead by asking "Où vas-tu?"
• Students respond with one of the destinations in our vocab.
• Each student must give a destination different from previous student's response.
• After one round, we circulate again, asking same question, same answer allowed. But now we follow up with "Et s'il fait..." some weather condition that might hinder that plan.
• Students then must follow-up with a back-up plan.

[10 minutes] Writing Practice: Do p. 164 Exs. 21 and 22 au tableau.

[10 minutes] Avoir idioms (p. 170)

[35 minutes] aller and the futur proche (future tense!) p. 166

• Flesh out futur proche as quick and dirty future tense!
• Show parallel to English "I'm going to do something."
• Practice with pp. 166–167 Exs. 27, 28, and 29 writing at desks, then writing answers au tableau.
