Interpretive Focus: This is all about learning the positive/negative phrases to give opinions about places to eat.

Prep:

□ Download and print “reviews” (1 set per group)

□ Download and print “Blank info & reviews” (1 per person, front/back)

Daily Objective

Introduce the daily objective. See if they can figure it out. Help them by using cognates, actions, or props.

Question

Show the question.

Où préfères-tu manger ? Pourquoi ?

Have them answer it on their own or with a partner. Ask the class to share their thoughts and take a poll.

Yelp

Give them the “reviews” chart. 

Show the Yelp reviews one by one. Let them on their own try to figure out and categorize as many words/phrases as they can. 

Now let them compare what they found with a partner.

Finally go over what they found as a class. Ask them (in target language) for a word/phrase to put under “positive reviews.” Then add to it.

Another option is to draw this chart on large paper and put it on the wall/bulletin board. They can add to it. If there are any really good words that they missed, point them out and show them where to add it. 

This is a great way to let them figure out the vocabulary on their own.

Yelp reviews:

Learning Check

Since this is focused on the interpretive, let it be a self-reflection of how much they understood. The next lesson will build on this one.

If they are using the “Unit Vocabulary Sheet,” give them time to write down what they learned today.

Write Descriptions and Reviews

To expand on what they just learned, have them write their own review of their favorite place to eat. Remind them to pull words and phrases from the original reviews that they looked at earlier.

Note: This will be used in the next lesson. So if you do not get to this step (which is possible depending on how long they took on the interpretive part), then start with this or send it as homework.

These could be interesting on a bulletin board about “What’s your favorite place to eat?”

Reading Descriptions to Write More Reviews

On the back side, there are 6 places for them to get reviews from 6 other classmates. They can walk around and swap with people or you can put them in groups of 7 to swap with each other.
