Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Read authentic French definitions and statistics on family structures without translation support
Distinguish le mariage, le PACS, l'union libre, le concubinage and la cohabitation by their legal and everyday differences
Discuss generational topics in French: the baby-boomers born between 1946 and 1964, le fossé des générations, and the changing role of grandparents

Teaching tips

Hand out single sheets rather than the whole document when running a jigsaw: the separate files are already numbered by topic, so groups can take mariage, PACS, divorce and recomposée in parallel and report back.
Use the eight 'Complète les phrases' items as a pre-reading prediction task before students see any sheet, then again afterwards to show what they picked up.
Pair sheet 3 with sheet 2: union libre, concubinage and cohabitation are defined against one another there and are easily confused with the PACS.

Skills covered

Reading authentic French non-fiction — the topic sheets are written in French and include definitions such as 'Acte solennel par lequel deux personnes qui s'aiment établissent une union légitime'.
Civic and legal vocabulary — students meet le PACS, le Code civil, la mairie, le divorce par consentement mutuel, and the terminology of blended families.
Comparing past and present — some sheets use 'Avant' and 'Maintenant' contrasts, asking students to describe change over time in French.
