Lesson Outline: 1. Warm-up activity: Ask students to share their daily schedules in French. Encourage them to use the keywords introduced earlier. 2. Presentation: Use visual aids (e.g., pictures, flashcards) to present different schedules, such as a school timetable, a work schedule, and a leisure activity schedule. Explain each schedule using the keywords. 3. Practice activity: Provide students with a worksheet containing different schedules. Ask them to read and answer questions about the schedules using the keywords. For example, “À quelle heure commence le cours de français le lundi matin?” (At what time does the French class start on Monday morning?) 4. Group activity: Divide the students into pairs or small groups. Give each group a set of cards with different professions written on them. Ask them to create a schedule for a specific profession, using the keywords and their knowledge of typical working hours for each profession. For example, “Un médecin travaille de 8h à 18h du lundi au vendredi.” (A doctor works from 8 am to 6 pm from Monday to Friday.) 5. Questioning: Ask individual students questions about their own schedules or the schedules of others using the keywords. Encourage them to respond in complete sentences. For example, “Quand est-ce que tu te lèves le matin?” (When do you wake up in the morning?) 6. Differentiation: Provide additional support for students who may be struggling with the vocabulary by offering bilingual dictionaries or providing simplified definitions of the keywords. 7. Plenary: Recap the main points of the lesson and ask students to share one thing they have learned about schedules in French.
