LOTE Level 1 (French)
Les animaux
This unit is designed to build on students French vocabulary of familiar objects,
places and people. It can be used to assit with learning and revising – specifically
with animal vocabulary.
If the activity is used to introduce new words – pictures, objects or people can be
utilised in the classroom.
As a revision task, students may work with a prepared file that directs them to
label pictures.
Learning outcomes
This unit focuses on CSF learning outcomes in the Listening and Writing strands of
LOTE (French) and the Information strand of Technology but could be developed to
include activities in other key learning areas.
The relevant learning outcomes and indicators for level 1 LOTE (French) are:
Listening
1.1 Demonstrate comprehension of French words and phrases by following routine
classroom instructions, using single words or very short phrases, and identifying objects
and numbers 1–20 LOFRL102.
• Identify an object when it is named or described.
Speaking
1.2 Use single words (objects, colours, numbers) or short phases in action-related
activities, songs and games in French. LOFRS102
• Identify an object (e.g. C’est…un canard).

Copy letters to form words or short phrases correctly (e.g. quatre vélos).
The relevant learning outcome and indicator for level 1 Technology (Information) are:
1.2 Develop simple information products using a limited range of information technology
skills, processes and equipment. TEIN0102

Prior learning
Students will need the following knowledge and skills to begin this unit:
Information and communications technology (ICT)
•
•
•
use arrow tool and click and drag functions
key-in letters and words
save their completed work.
LOTE (French)
•
•
•
recognise the selected written French words
make associations between pictures and the relevant words
correctly pronounce the selected words.
Teacher notes
The classroom activities in this unit are influenced by a range of factors, including the
accessibility and location of computers, preferred teaching styles, students’ learning
styles and time.
For the specific vocabulary introduced in this unit a teacher word bank with animal
names and pictures is provided. This can be used to assist with learning or revising the
vocabulary. The word bank can be printed onto flashcards or enlarged on a photocopier
for class activities. The unit may be linked to other activities such as pronunciation and
written practise.
Before commencing the activities, teachers introduce or revisit the vocabulary – les
animaux – to help students to become familiar with the vocabulary.
Students use the worksheets (pages 7–13) to work through activities. The worksheets are
available as Microsoft Word files and can be modified as required. Some are designed
specifically for students to use electronically while others could be distributed as
handouts. Teachers may prefer to incorporate the ideas on the worksheets into their
presentation of lessons. For Worksheets 3 and 5 (pages 9 and 11) teachers provide copies
of a prepared file for each student. Each file needs to be given a unique name so that
students can save their work as they progress. It may be necessary to assist with the
saving process.
For Worksheets 1 and 6 (pages 7 and 12), students need to know how to use an arrow tool
function and to click and drag to complete the worksheet electronically.
Activity 1: Word match
Using Worksheet 1 (page 7) as an electronic file, students match the word to the
picture by using an arrow tool function to draw a line from one to the other.
Students save and print their work.
Alternatively, the worksheet can be distributed as a handout and students draw a
line from the word to the picture.

Activity 2: Drawing pictures
Using Worksheet 2 (page 8) as a handout, students draw the appropriate picture for
the corresponding word.
Activity 3: Missing letters
Using Worksheet 3 (page 9) as an electronic file, students type in the missing letter.
A picture clue is provided to help students. Students save and print their work.
Alternatively, the worksheet can be distributed as a handout and students write the
missing letter.
Activity 4: Matching game
Worksheet 4 (page 10) provides a template which students use (cut up) to make a
set of cards. Teachers have additional copies of the templates available for
students. The cards have either the animal picture or word. Students can mix up the
cards, then match the words to the pictures and paste into a workbook. The cards
can also be used to play card games such as pairs, memory or snap.
Templates can be adapted to develop ‘bingo’ cards.
Activity 5: Copy the word
Using Worksheet 5 (page 11) as an electronic file, students copy the word by
typing in the letters. This particular task is linked to the ICT focus of the unit and is
therefore completed on a computer. Students print their work.
As an extension, students can use a prepared Microsoft Word file to type in an
animal word by copying it from Worksheet 5 or from the teacher word cards,
printing and then drawing a large picture of the animal for display in the classroom.
Activity 6: Click and drag
Using Worksheet 6 (page 12) as an electronic file, students click on the animal
picture and drag the image to the correct word.
Alternatively, the worksheet can be distributed as a handout and students cut and
paste the pictures.

Resources
Publications
Texts/wall charts containing the vocabulary (in both word and picture format).
Software
Microsoft Word or equivalent word-processing package that has access to ‘clip-art’.
A digital camera and associated software may also be used to prepare and load pictures
into prepared files.
Websites
At the time of publication the URLs (website addresses) cited were checked for accuracy and
appropriateness of content. However, due to the transient nature of material placed on the Internet,
their continuing accuracy cannot be verified. Teachers are strongly advised to prepare their own
indexes of sites that are suitable and applicable to this unit of work, and to check these addresses
prior to allowing student access.
