Lesson starters. Primary French -- le carnaval en Martinique. 5
Description
It's the dry season, which means carnival time in Martinique - and at École Plateau Didier in Fort de France, they're celebrating in style. Presented by Shekina, this mini-documentary shows the school carnival unfolding, with all the brightly coloured costumes and parades. Shekina explains how the kings and queens are elected, what the jury looks for, and introduces this year's winners. This lesson starter relates to the language and themes explored in Unit 17 of the QCDA scheme of work for KS2 French. Shot on location in Fort de France, Martinique, the video offers opportunities to develop language skills and intercultural understanding. There are detailed accompanying teaching notes.
