FRENCH SPEAKING COUNTRIES

Apart from France and the European countries of Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg Monaco and Quebec Province in Canada there are many French speaking countries (pays francophones) in Africa, the Caribbean and French Polynesia which offer great opportunities for studying wider world issues with International Education and Citizenship themes in line with CfE guidelines.

Task:
Find a French speaking third world country and find out what you can about their daily life and in particular their food. Note any good resources eg websites or books

FOOD SONGS

Type your text in comments. Since I cannot edit the Comments I have pasted the songs here adding accents etc where necessary! Great songs! Waiting impatiently for Marie and Mary's! We will have to have a sing off to see who wins le facteur X ! (think that means Postman X but never mind!)

j'aime le melon, j'aime le melon
je deteste les bonbons
je n'aime pas les escargots
j’adore le gâteau

J'aime le melon, j'aime le citron
J'aime les bonbons au chocolat
Je n'aime pas le raisin blanc
Je préfère une bouteille de vin blanc

J'aime les bonbons, j'aime les bonbons

Bon appétit, bon appétit!

Today we start looking at food - a great topic close to everyone's heart and with lots of opportunities for background information and role playing.

Grammar required - the partitive article. There is a sheet in the grammar folder called Articles.
We also look at the construction after J'aime I like which is always followed by the definite article. J'aime les bananes.

We sang Bananes bananes bananes from French is fun pack from the BBC (Salut Serge)

I'll post the Appleworks file with the mini flashcards entitled Food mini FCs in the FOOD folder.

Online supermarket Auchandirect.fr has provided much useful information. Carrefour is another big supermarket chain.
