Préparer la mini-scène

Today's Mission

Choose Scene A (Au café) or Scene B (Le mauvais bus), assign roles, establish meaning, and rehearse aloud. The first 3 ready groups may perform today for extra credit.

Learning Targets

  • I can rehearse my role in a mini-scène about finding lunch in the city.
  • I can use this week's verbs and objects in connected dialogue.

Practice Activity Cards

Focused preparation for today’s essential language—like a class index card for vocabulary, frames, and notes you can use with a partner or during your performance. Not a graded assignment.

    Flyswatter + Préparer la mini-scène

    ~25 min

    After Flyswatter vocabulary review, read your assigned mini-scène with your group. Assign roles, establish meaning, and rehearse aloud. The first 3 ready groups may perform today for extra credit.

    Exemple

    • Mini-scène A — Au café
    • Personnage 1 : Bonjour ! Je voudrais un sandwich.
    • Personnage 2 : Désolé. Il n'y a pas de sandwich.
    • Personnage 1 : Vous avez une pizza ?
    • Personnage 2 : Non. Mais nous avons un croissant.
    • Personnage 1 : Combien coûte le croissant ?
    • Personnage 2 : Douze euros.
    • Personnage 1 : Douze euros ?! Non merci !
    • Personnage 2 : Bon appétit… ailleurs !
    • Mini-scène B — Le mauvais bus
    • Personnage 1 : Excuse-moi. Ce bus va au restaurant ?
    • Personnage 2 : Oui… je pense.
    • Personnage 1 : Très bien. Je prends ce bus.
    • Personnage 2 : Attends ! C'est le mauvais bus !
    • Personnage 1 : Quoi ? Arrêtez !
    • Personnage 2 : Descends ici !
    • Personnage 1 : Et le restaurant ?
    • Personnage 2 : Il est juste en face !
