Objective Give students practice using clothing vocabulary to describe models in current défilés de mode by Paris designers Notes You may wish to brainstorm with students keywords in French that will help direct them to French-language Web sites to complete this WebQuest. Other vocabulary students might want to use:   un défilé de mode fashion show   le coton cotton   la soie silk   la laine wool   le cuir leather   les bottes boots   une écharpe, un foulard scarf   un chapeau hat At the end of the activity, have students discuss in small groups what they have learned. Then have students read their favorite descriptions to the class. Expansion If students are able to print pictures, post them in the classroom. Have students post their descriptions next to the pictures. Students could create their own défilé de mode by reading their descriptions to the class while showing the pictures. Students could also use PowerPoint® to create their own virtual défilé, writing all of the descriptions in French and reading them out loud as they show their slides to the class.
