Anti racism song

With Fiona's class in mind!

Ton Christ est juif
Ta voiture est japonaise
Ton couscous est algérien
Ta démocratie est grecque
Ton café est brésilien
Ton chianti est italien

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être un étranger

Ta montre est suisse
Ta chemise est indienne
Ta radio est coréenne
Tes vacances sont tunisiennes
Tes chiffres sont arabes
Ton écriture est latine

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être étranger

Tes figues sont turques
Tes bananes viennent du Cameroun
Ton saumon vient de Norvège
Ton Tchantchès vient de Liège
Uilenspiegel vient de Damme
Du Zaïre vient ton tam-tam

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être un étranger

Tes citrons viennent du Maroc
Tes litchis de Madagascar
Tes piments du Sénégal
Tes mangues viennent du Bangui
Tes noix d'coco d'Côte d'Ivoire
Tes ananas d'Californie

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être un étranger

Ta vodka vient de Russie
Ta bière de Rhénanie
Tes oranges d'Australie
Tes dattes de Tunisie
Ton Gulf-Stream vient des Antilles
Tes pommes de Poméranie

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être un étranger

Ton djembe vient de Douala
Ton gingembre vient d'Ouganda
Ton boubou vient d'Tombouctou
Tes avocats du Nigéria
Tes asperges viennent du Chili
Ton ginseng vient d'chez Li Peng

Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être un étranger


Ton Christ est Juif

sentence building - active learning
Go over the words used first
Give each table a set of (colour coded) words on cards
Start by asking the pupils to sort the words into groups to make it easier to pick them out. Allow them to discuss how to do this.
Let them build short sentences or phrases themselves. Ask them to read them aloud.
Give them a sentence in English. They discuss & make it on the table.
Ask a table to read out the answer or they could hold it up. Other tables check. Discuss any mistakes.
Ask them to make up 3 good sentences of their choice and set them out. Then copy them into their jotters.
Challenge them to make a really long sentence. 1 points per word, minus points for any mistakes.


Pronunciation - nasal vowels [õ] on - see blogpost
Practise with minicards (click here to download) and make a collection eg on a list, a poster or Wallwisher
Worksheet from La petite souris (LPS) a site for French teachers teaching French to their pupils.

Homework
1 Add some -0n nasal words to Wallwisher
2 Invent a silly sentence or a rhyme or a rap or a song using -0n nasal words

Meanwhile here is a nice wee song from La Maternelle de Moustache to inspire you
J'ai un nom, un prénom I've a name, a first name
deux yeux 2 eyes
un nez a nose
un menton a chin
Dis-moi vite ton prénom tell me quickly your first name
Pour continuer la chanson. to keep the song going
Tu t'appelles ............................ (child says his name)
Bonjour ....................... (class sings his name)
Back to the start

J'ai un nom
Click letter J then on "air de comptine" and then "CHANT" to hear the song sung (OR JUST CLICK HERE) We would need to slow it down - it is meant for French children.

and another lovely song popped into my head after not hearing it for about 40 years Flocon papillon about snow
and it's nice and slow!
I've posted it here

Wed 12 January







La fête des rois
the feast of the Kings or Epiphany, is celebrated in French homes throughout January.

A cake - la galette - made of puff pastry and almond frangipane contains a figurine called une fève, a bean. Whoever gets the piece with the fève is king for the day, wears a crown and chooses a queen.

Nowadays you can buy the cake complete with crown and fève in bakers' shops.
In the interest of fair play, the youngest child sits under the table as mother cuts the cake and says who each piece is for.
C'est à qui? Whose is it?
C'est à papa. It's dad's.
C'est à Tata Marie. It's for auntie Mary.
C'est à moi. It's mine.



le roi - the king
la reine - the queen
la galette - the cake
la fève - the bean
la couronne - the crown

Chanson


J'aime la galette
Savez-vous comment?
Quand elle est bien faite
Avec du beurre dedans
Tra la la la la la lère etc

I love the kings' cake
do you know when?
when it is well made
with butter inside
tra la etc


Starters
to settle the children
to get them into the French "zone"
to get them started as soon as possible

Suggestions - will depend on your situation - is it your own class or are you "dropping in"?
a challenge, a puzzle eg 5 a day or some jumbled words
a video clip - culture, they hear some French and see some French or French speaking people
a song - or a haka - Mark Purves has an interesting blog post here
a routine - a scripted conversation, how are you, register, weather and date, bit of revision or
a prayer
