French three students are practicing how to ask for medical help.
As part of their practice, students worked in small groups to create their own song lyrics about what might happen if they were sick, broke their arm, or went to the doctor’s office.
The titles of their songs were: “J’ai besoin de guérison” (I need healing), “Guéris-moi” (Heal me), and “Chanson malade” (I am sick). Throughout the year, they will continue building their language skills by studying complex grammar and focusing on writing through various readings, songs, films, video clips, and poems related to the themes.
