Mathis and friends are taking part in a treasure hunt. This film follows the children as they travel around the school searching for five clues, the last of which will lead to the hidden treasure. Each clue offers detailed directions which the children follow carefully (for example, turn left/right, take 10 big steps). This lesson starter models language from Unit 15 of the QCDA scheme of work, specifically with regard to the giving of directions. Shot on location in Fort de France, Martinique, the video offers opportunities to develop language skills and intercultural understanding. There are detailed accompanying teaching notes.
