- **Pronunciation Practice:** Have students repeat each word after you to ensure correct pronunciation.
- **Interactive Identification:** Place real objects around the class. Ask students to point and name the object in French when you call out its name.
**3. Story/Dialogue (10 minutes):**
- **Reading a Simple Story:** Present a short and simple story or dialogue involving lost and found objects at school.
