Need a fun way to introduce French poetry and review the passé composé at the same time? Your students will enjoy Déjeuner du Matin, Jacques Prévert, an engaging lesson that will save you loads of time. Differentiation is easy with this lesson that includes all four skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

The poem Déjeuner du Matin is spectacularly well known in France, and it's especially easy to understand when you follow all of the steps in this lesson plan.

Expect your students to:

• learn new French vocabulary words
