| Title | Activities for Places in a Town in French |
| Body | Does anybody have any creative ideas for teaching about French places in a town? La boulangerie, la poste, la bibliotheque, le stade, etc. Harington, C. French places in a town. Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 23 Feb 2007). --- Setting your classroom up as a model town is a great culminating activity after you have introduced and developed the vocabulary, structures and language functions (asking and answering questions, expressing likes and dislikes, use of descriptive adjectives, using euros, etc.) you have targeted in your ongoing instruction. Students move from one location to another "shopping" for goods and services while "storeowners" ask and answer related questions. Caccavale, T. Re: French places in a town. Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 23 Feb 2007). --- I do a mini-poster project, where they design and draw a town with several buildings labeled with appropriate content drawn (i.e. breads and pastries in the boulangerie-patisserie, etc) They must label at least 8 buildings, and also have to draw and label at least 4 streets with French names. Then they have to write out directions in French to go from Point A to Point B to Point C, and present this to the class, using a hotwheel car or little vehicle. Steriadis, M. Re: French places in a town. Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 23 Feb 2007). --- I have made a classroom set of index cards cut in half. On each half I glued a picture of a city building (la poste, la banque, la bibliotheque, l'aeorport, le theatre, le cinema, etc). I do several different activities with them for the students depending on what I am teaching. I use them for bingo games and for teaching preposition of location (a gauche de, a droite de , pres de, loin de , entre, etc.) I call out the sentence (La poste est a gauche de la banque) and the students must place the pictures accordingly on their desk tops. Then I have the students call out a sentence and the rest of the class places the cards accordingly. Lastly, I have the students select cards of their choice, place them on their desk tops and write a sentence in French describing where the buildings are in relation to each other. This I collect and have a look at to see how they are understanding the names of the buildings and the prepositions of location. Shipman, E. Re: French places in a town.
