\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer when it was my turn to pick the Friday night Netflix movie in the Shepard household, I chose a French film called, <\/span>Il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 tes yeux<\/span><\/i>. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, this 2016 film is about a Black couple who adopts a white baby. Although the film is a comedy (with some tear-jerking moments), I think it will lend itself to some great class discussions regarding family relationships, cultural identity, race and prejudice. In spite of some swearing and one scene showing marijuana use, I find it appropriate to use with my upper-level classes. Since I don’t have access to Netflix at school, I ordered the DVD from Amazon.fr and will show it on my all region DVD player. There are, of course, no English subtitles but I will use the French closed captions (and lots of discussion) to make the film comprehensible to my students. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order to facilitate discussion and provide assessment opportunities related to this film, I created this <\/span>film guide.<\/span><\/a> (Updated link<\/a> 6\/29\/18) Here’s a short description of how I’ll use this guide in class.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Personnages <\/b>These photos will help the students remember the names of the main characters in order to participate in the conversations that follow.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Vocabulaire <\/b>I created a short list of French-English vocabulary to introduce a few new terms to the students. I have included space for students to add additional vocabulary to the list during the viewing of the film. This list will serve as a resource to the students as they complete the communicative activities in the packet.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Questions <\/b>These are basic comprehension level questions about the plot of the film. I may have the students discuss the questions that pertain to the day’s viewing after we watch a portion of the film. I may also use these questions at the beginning of class to review the previous day’s viewing. These questions could also, of course, be answered in writing.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Citations I will have the students discuss these quotes in small groups following the day’s viewing. <\/span>Note: Because I was typing on my computer while streaming the film on my Ipad (making frequent pausing problematic), some of these quotes will be approximate, rather than word-for-word.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n
    5. Evolution des personnages <\/strong>At the end of the film I will ask the students to consider (either orally or in writing) how each of the main characters evolved during the film.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Les Photos <\/strong>These slides depicting scenes of the film will provide additional opportunities for discussion. I may also have students record their responses (or write them) as a formative assessment opportunity.<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Jeux de R\u00f4les<\/strong> Each of these role plays requires students to imagine a hypothetical conversation between characters in the film. I will have the students practice these role plays after we have watched the film and will then have them perform one with a partner (chosen by me) for an interpersonal speaking assessment.<\/span><\/li>\n
    8. Pr\u00e9sentation \u00c9crite<\/strong> I will allow the students to choose one of these prompts as a presentational writing assessment. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Note:<\/b> I am also in the process of creating an interpretive reading and interpretive listening task to accompany this film. In order to avoid my savvier upper-level students from having access to these assessments, I will publish them at <\/span>https:\/\/us.ifprofs.org\/ressources-pedagogiques<\/span><\/a> . If you’re not familiar with this fabulous new resource, it’s a social media platform that allows French teachers to share materials with other members. (Update 9\/7\/20: Click here<\/a> for a link to the interpretive tasks.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
