 * To revise the core structures of //J’aime// (I like), //je n'aime pas// (I don't like) //, Aimes-tu?// (Do you like?)
 * To be able to express a like or dislike to something in French.

Resources:
IWB or screen (with sound enabled if you wish to use the soundfiles optional). Books or mini-whiteboards to try writing some sentences. (Optional mobile recording devices if you have any). > __ Ideas for likes and dislikes __ (use easy vocabulary so you are not teaching new words and you are then able to focus on structures) > //J’aime le football/le foot// (remind children they need ‘le/la or les in French, meaning I like football) > //Le rugby // > //Le golf // > //Le ski // > //Le cricket // > //Le tennis // > > //Le chocolat // > // Les bananes // > // Les oranges // > // Les pommes // > // Le pizza //

 * ~ Starter || * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Revise the core structures** of //J’aime// (I like), //je n'aime pas// (I don't like) //, Aimes-tu?// (Do you like?) from the verb ‘aimer’ by writing them on the board and asking the children if they can remember what the phrases mean. Then decide as a class what symbols you could draw next to each phrase to help recall. For example a heart for 'I like', a heart with a cross through it for 'I don't like' and a heart with a question mark for 'do you like?'
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Children should record the phrases in their French books** for future reference, paying close attention to spelling. This could be an opportunity to practise letters of the alphabet spelling words out aloud and counting the number of letters to check they have copied them correctly. || * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">media type="file" key="54 - do you like tomatoes.mp3" width="240" height="20" soundfile from Babelzone ||
 * ~ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Main Activity || * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px;">Look at likes and dislike with existing vocabulary that the children already know.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px;">Introduce more simple vocabulary (see suggestions below) in order for the children to practise talking about their likes and dislikes. Use dictionaries to look for key vocabulary. Link to food, sport, hobbies etc. Challenge the children to make as many sentences as possible, or play charades and take it in turns to act out liking/disliking something from the list below and the class have to guess in French.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px;">Introduce phrases: //J’adore// (I love), <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px;">//je déteste// (I hate). (Links to O6.3)

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//**Teachers note:** Remember in French you say J'aime le foot (literally I lke THE football).// || * none needed but you might want to use this ppt about liking/disliking types of music based on the QCA unit if stuck for ideas ||
 * ~ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Plenary || * In pairs, ask the children to express likes and dislikes and ask partner about his/hers. Some children may even feel brave enough to demonstrate their conversations to the class. || * none needed but if you have any mobile recording equipment it makes it a lot easier on classroom management to ask children to record their conversations, especially if you suggest you might upload the best onto a vle to share with parents. ||
