Une visite au zoo

Earlier this month, 20 year 7 students went to Bristol Zoo to create a vodcast in French and German.  In the morning, they looked around the zoo and did some filming as well as took some pictures.  Later they had a guided tour where they were told about some of the animals, how endangered some are and the programme that Bristol zoo has put into place to protect them.   

Back in school, the students downloaded their pictures into a file on the school computer and started selecting their pictures then they wrote their script. The aim was to describe the animal, say where they come from, what sort of animal they were.
We gathered again for 2 hours where they used Audacity to record their script and then they downloaded their chosen pictures and podcast onto Window-maker. Some included script onto their pictures. They worked very hard and after two hours their presentation were ready.  I am very pleased with the work produced and shows how confident the students are in using different media and ICT to produce a very informative presentation.  

Their knowledge of Audacity and Movie-Maker, certainly made this task easier to run as I could concentrate on the language with them.

 
Well done to all the students involved!

Les vêtements

One of our students' favorite occupation is buying clothes.

When we got to France on a school trip, students spend money and bring back a couple of t-shirts or other items of clothing.

However

What do you pack when you go on holidays?
Listen and watch Dorothée and see if you can identify all the clothes (and other items) that she is packing.


Look at the following Powerpoint and answer the questions:
 La valise

You can also practise your vocabulary by doing the following exercise from Quia:
