Promoting creativity in
French lessons.
Using storytelling with year 8.
Alice Ayel
Year 8: a simple story about
the weather and conjunctions.
Objective of the lesson:
• to reinforce weather words in French.
• to be able to use the conjunctions “si” and
“quand”.
• to be able to understand a story about the
weather and activities.
• to be able to write a simple story using weather
words and conjunctions.
Starter: to revise words
related to the weather.
• Students repeat the weather words.
• They then have to guess which
picture/weather word is missing.
1) Main part of the lesson: to listen to
the story and learn new words.
• Pupils are told the story (all in French).
• Pupils do not just listen to the story, they
also interact. They are asked:
– What is the weather like.
– Which activities Mr Snow do.
• Because the story is quite repetitive,
pupils can relate to it as well as the
questions asked by the teacher.
• 8L3 / 8S2 / 8W1
2) Main part of the lesson:
to use conjunctions.
• Students re-read the story and choose
the correct word or expression.
• In pairs, they imagine what Mr Snow would
do in other types of weather. They have to
use “si”/”quand” when speaking.
• 8S1 / 8S2 / 8S6 / 8L5
3) Main part of the lesson: to
write own little story about a
Mr or Miss.
• Students choose a Mr or Miss.
• They are asked to write their own little story
using the weather and conjunctions.
• Their aim is to achieve level 3-4.
• More able students can write the story without
any help.
• Less able students need a template with different
activity/weather options to help them write their
stories.
• 8T5 / 8T6 / 8T7
Plenary: peer assessment.
• In pairs, pupils assess each other’s
stories.
• They also show and read their stories
to the whole class.
• 8L4 /8C4
Objectif:
•Dire ce qu’on fait selon le temps qu’il fait.
•Utiliser les conjonctions si et quand.
Il manque quel temps???
