Instructions
In preparation:

Minds on Activity
- Show learners the carte du monde from the interactive website Là où je dors | TFO (laoujedors.com. Explain to learners that each star represents a region where French speaking youth live and they will be giving us a glimpse of their rooms and details about special objects, their personal lives, interests and cultures.
- Next, have students make a list of personal objects and memories within their room that represent who they are. Then share their answers in groups of two, then whole class.
Action
- Explain to learners that the aim of the activity is to compare their personal interests and their background to those of a child from another country. Select episode 1 Naesha for viewing.
First viewing: Students will watch the video to understand the overall message. They will observe visual clues: the landscape, the external part of the house, facial expressions.
Second viewing: Students will try to understand by observing more details. They will watch
and listen to identify cognate words and words which are familiar to them. They can take notes. If necessary, students may watch the video a third time and the teacher may also stop the video at key moments to facilitate understanding.
2. Students will then use a Venn diagram to compare their lifestyle with that of Naesha.
For example: love for life near the sea, important objects within their room, important people, nicknames, sports or hobbies, electronic gadgets.
Consolidation
- In groups of two, students will share their Venn diagram and their understanding of the video.
→How is Naesha similar to you and how is she different?
→What have you learned about Haiti while watching this video?
→Why is it useful to make links between cultural practices in your own community
and those of others?
2. Each student can then write a postcard or e-mail to Naesha where they compare their lifestyles.
