Lesson Objective/Rationale (What is the point of the lesson? What should leaners be able to

repeating the words orally and writing the English names beside the French names. Students
will be completing a summative assessment project to create a zoo with the French names of
animals they learned so far. By the end of the lesson students should have a solid recognition
of the French animal names.
