Les Planètes Phoniques Lesson 4 : the ‘ch’ sound Links to the KS3 Framework (2009 version) : 1.1 Understanding and responding to the spoken word Identify gist and some detail in face-to-face exchanges, spoken passages, stories and songs. 1.5 Presenting and narrating ii. Speak clearly, audibly and with accurate pronunciation. 4.1 Letters and Sounds Apply knowledge of common letter strings, sound patterns, accents and other characters. 5.1 Identifying patterns in the target language Identify patterns of pronunciation. 5.6 Reading aloud Read aloud texts with increasing fluency, accuracy and expression, showing awareness of meaning. Activity Teaching sequence Starter activity Ask pupils how the ‘ch’ sound is usually pronounced in English and ask for some examples (e.g. children, chocolate, church). Explain that in French it is pronounced ‘sh’ and ask pupils if they can think of any words in English where ‘ch’ is pronounced ‘sh’ like in French. Pupils may say words such as champagne, machine, chalet, chandelier (with a bit of help). Explain that the reason they are pronounced ‘sh’ is because these were all French words originally and they have been ‘borrowed’ by the English language. Ask the pupils if they can think of any French words that have the ‘ch’ sound in. Try to draw out words such as cheval, chat, chien, chinois, bouche. Write the words on the board and underline the ‘ch’ part of the word.

Un chasseur sachant chasser sait chasser sans son chien de chasse. (A hunter knowing how to hunt knows how to hunt without his dog) Cinq chiens chassent six chats. (Five dogs chase six cats) Some volunteers can say this in front of the class. This would be a good opportunity to record pupils speaking or video them, and play the recordings back for self and peer assessment (two stars and a wish).
