TASK
YOU ARE GOING TO BE A FASHION DESIGNER AND PUT ON
A FASHION SHOW IN FRENCH. YOU CAN DO THIS AS A
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, A BOOKLET, OR IF YOU
LIKE, A VIDEO PRESENTATION. (OR EVEN A
COMBINATION OF ALL 3! YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE
WORDS AND PHRASES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY LEARNT,
BUT ALSO YOU WILL NEED TO USE YOUR DICTIONARY
SKILLS TO FIND OUT MANY NEW WORDS AS WELL.

STEP 1
YOUR FIRST TASK IS TO DESIGN SOME OUTFITS THAT
YOU ARE GOING TO PARADE IN YOUR FASHION SHOW AND
LABEL THEM IN FRENCH. YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK UP
WORDS FOR COLOURS AND CLOTHES. HERE ARE A FEW TO
GET YOU STARTED.......
ROUGE RED UNE ROBE A DRESS BLANC(HE)
WHITE UN PANTALON TROUSERS BLEU(E)
BLUE DES CHAUSSURES SHOES
REMEMBER, WHEN YOU DESCRIBE SOMETHING, THE COLOUR
COMES AFTER THE WORD IT DESCRIBES. FOR
EXAMPLE.... UN T-SHIRT NOIR A BLACK T-SHIRT
IT WILL ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK UP WORDS FOR
DIFFERENT STYLES, LIKE STRIPES, CHECKS ETC.
5
AN IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER WHEN DESCRIBING
THINGS....
FEMININE WORDS (UNE, LA), ADD AN E TO THE
COLOUR . EG UNE ROBE BLEUE IF THE COLOUR
ALREADY HAS AN E ON THE END, EG ROUGE, YOU
DONT ADD ANOTHER ONE. LOOK OUT FOR ANY COLOURS
THAT ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN THEIR FEMININE
VERSION, WHITE FOR EXAMPLE
MASCULINE PLURAL WORDS (LES, DES), ADD AN S TO
THE COLOUR. EG DES GANTS VERTS GREEN GLOVES
FEMININE PLURAL WORDS (LES, DES) ADD AN E AND
AN S TO THE COLOUR. EG DES CHAUSSETTES NOIRES
BLACK SOCKS
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A WORD IS MASCULINE OR
FEMININE? THE DICTIONARY WILL TELL YOU... LOOK AT
THE NEXT SLIDE TO SEE HOW
