11-year-old Reika and friends take us on a tour of historic Fort de France, and talk about the features that they like most. As part of the tour, we visit the Cathédrale Saint-Louis, the post office, the Bibliothèque Schoelcher and the Grande Marché, which is full of local fruit and vegetables. This lesson starter relates to the language and themes explored in Unit 22 of the QCDA scheme of work for KS2 French. 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.
