French Sports: Vocabulary and the Two Action Patterns

Create a 6–8 slide deck for a 9-minute 7th-grade French lesson. The deck must teach and visually organize: (1) the objective, (2) at least 12 sports with French names and clear English glosses—le football, le basketball, le tennis, le volleyball, le hockey, la natation, la danse, la course, le ski, le vélo, l'escalade, le surf, (3) the pattern “jouer à” with examples “jouer au football,” “jouer au basketball,” “jouer au tennis,” and “jouer aux sports collectifs,” (4) the pattern “faire de” with examples “faire du ski,” “faire de la natation,” “faire de l'escalade,” and “faire de la danse,” (5) a compact article transformation panel: à + le = au, à + les = aux, de + le = du, de + les = des, while retaining à la/de la and de l' before a vowel sound, (6) a contrast between “la course” (the sport) and “courir” (to run), and (7) a final oral rehearsal slide with four sports prompts. Use visuals or icons, large readable French text, and minimal prose. Include no more than one brief check-for-noticing prompt; this deck is for teacher-led formalization and oral rehearsal, not an independent worksheet.
