This French video introduces teachers to the final lesson in the In the Classroom unit, where pupils work collaboratively to create and present a short piece called Dans mon sac. In groups of three, they plan a presentation describing the contents of their school bag, meeting agreed success criteria such as speaking entirely in French, naming at least three items, and including extra details like colour, size, or negatives. The activity encourages pupils to draw on a wide range of vocabulary and structures learned in the unit, with opportunities for creativity through varied formats, from interviews to role-play.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s French – vocabulary. It supports teachers in facilitating open-ended speaking tasks, using prompts and displayed vocabulary for support. The lesson offers options for integrating technology, from simple audio recordings to creative video projects, and can be adapted by switching lesson order to suit class needs. Pupils finish the unit having used everyday French in authentic contexts, built their confidence in speaking, and developed presentation skills.
