Week+2+Pronounciation

Objective:[[image:autumn_tree.jpg width="103" height="136" align="right"]]

 * To consolidate letter pronunciation and begin to spell out French words.

Resources:
IWB or screen with sound enabled if you wish to use the ppt and the website. Pre cut-up (and laminated if possible) letters of the alphabet for each table/group (see template in resources) //**Teachers note:** There is a crib sheet for teachers provided here to help you remember the names of the letters but DO NOT show it to the children at any point as it is a crib sheet not a learning tool. Moreover the mixture of French and English spelling systems on the same page is likely to be extremely confusing for young learners, even more so if they do not speak English at home. Instead allow the children to use their own crib sheets created at the end of the PowerPoint which will have spellings/ways of remembering that are personal to each child.// || * Teachers crib sheet for alphabet > Click on exercice d’reperage 1 – 4 to play game ||

 * ~ Starter || * **Sing alphabet chant** to remind children of pronunciation of letters (see final slides of PowerPoint from last lesson to remind you) || * PowerPoint to guide through alphabet (with sound) [[file:L’alphabet with sound.ppt]] ||
 * ~ Main Activity || * Spell words aloud in French – Give each table/group of children a set of cut-up letters of the alphabet. Using the crib sheet if necessary the teacher then spells out a simple word which is familiar to the children in French - for example Bonjour. Can the chn work out what it is and rearrange the appropriate letters on their tables to show the word?
 * Gradually extend by spelling aloud words with the letters jumbled (for example try names – instead of //T-H-O-M-A-S// read //S-T-O-A-M-H// as this gives all the children a fair chance to work out the word). Can the children decipher these French anagrams?
 * Extend the most able children by asking them to prepare their own example to try on a friend. Invite children to share these with the rest of the class.
 * Finally use [] to play listening games either altogether on the IWB or indiviudally in an IT suite/ at home via a vle.

 * Website for online listening and spelling games []
 * ~ Plenary || * Either as a whole class, or in pairs/small groups using miniwhiteboards, play //'Le Pendu'// (Hangman) to practise French letter sounds. || * Mini-whiteboards or a class board. ||
