Year 8 French 2

French 2 builds upon the skills developed in French 1. The theme for Units 3 and 4 is ‘French in Adolescent Life – School and Fashion’. In Unit 3, students investigate and learn vocabulary to discuss their school subjects, preferences and teachers. They analyse and compare timetables with their peers and with French students. They explain and create their timetable in French. They evaluate and describe their school campus. In Unit 4, students learn how to describe and discuss their fashion, clothes and styles, and they make comparisons with the fashion enjoyed by teenagers in France.
