A complete French lesson plan for Kirikou et la Sorcière — ready to open and teach.
Questions of belonging and identity run through every frame of Kirikou et la Sorcière. The French is rich and natural — the kind of language students hear in the world, not in language labs. Culturally, the film opens conversations that belong in any serious French classroom.
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Kirikou et la Sorcière and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in French, and an answer key.
Each scene also includes an idioms and expressions section — 10 phrases pulled directly from the film, with their literal meaning, real-world usage, and a teaching note. These are the lines students want to understand but textbooks never cover.
