CHAPITRE 7
Les défilés de mode français

• Give students practice using clothing vocabulary to describe models in current défilés de mode by Paris designers

• Other vocabulary students might want to use:

  	un défilé de mode	fashion show
  	le coton	cotton
  	la soie	silk
  	la laine	wool
  	le cuir	leather
  	les bottes	boots
  	une écharpe, un foulard	scarf
  	un chapeau	hat

  At the end of the activity, have students discuss what they have learned in small groups. Then have students read their favorite descriptions to the class.

Expansion

If students are able to download and print out the pictures, post them in the classroom. Have students post their descriptions next to the pictures. Students could create their own défilé de mode by reading their descriptions to the class while showing the pictures. If your school has access to a computer program that creates presentations, students could download the photos into it to create their own virtual défilé, writing all of the descriptions in French and reading them out loud as they show their slides to the class.
