Had great fun with year 7 last week with the Pink Martini song 'Sympathique'. I was using it to extend their range of opinion plus infinitive sentences, and as a bridge to the near future. We listened first of all, put the cut up verses into the right order, listened again and sang along with the chorus. They looked more closely at the chorus and identified that je veux/je ne veux pas looks similar to j'aime/je n'aime pas, then they practised using it in extended sentences. Fantastique!
