Objective & Plot Summary
The main educational objective is to reinforce the memorization and recognition of A1 level vocabulary related to food and drinks (fruits, vegetables, dishes) by developing the ability to categorize and identify a word belonging to a different lexical field. The resource consists of several lines of four words. In each line, three words belong to the lexical field of food and/or drinks, while one word is an intruder (e.g.: car, shirt, shoe, bed, hat) from other basic themes (transport, clothing, home). The student must circle this intruder word.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): ACTIVATE VOCABULARY ORALLY
-
Getting started: The teacher distributes the worksheet and writes the title 'Food & Drink' on the board. Ask students to orally list as many words as they already know on this topic.
-
Concept introduction: Explain the 'Odd One Out' instruction by giving a quick and simple example, using familiar words (e.g.: blue, red, big, green – big is the odd one out because it's an adjective of size and not a color).
During the activity (~15-20 min): INVESTIGATE THE WORDS
-
Step 1: Individual reading and circling (10 min). Students work individually. They read each line, mentally translate the words, and circle the odd one out. Encourage them not to use a dictionary to assess their lexical knowledge.
-
Step 2: Peer verification and justification (5 min). Students compare their answers with a neighbor and must orally justify their choice: « Car is the odd one out because apple, banana and orange are fruits. Car is a vehicle. » (Emphasize the complete sentence for oral production).
-
Step 3: Collective correction. Correction on the board, noting the lexical fields for each line (Food, Clothes, Furniture, etc.). Emphasize correct pronunciation of the words.
After the activity (~10-15 min): CREATE YOUR OWN RIDDLE
-
Reinvestment: Ask students, individually or in small groups, to create their own 'Odd One Out' line (four words, one intruder) using a different theme (e.g.: animals, school supplies, sports).
-
Exchange game: Students exchange their riddles with another group or student for them to find and justify the odd one out. This transforms reception work into production and verifies the proper acquisition of the categorization concept.
Adaptations
-
To simplify: First, offer students a word bank in French for the intruder words (e.g.: voiture, lit, chaussure, chemise) to ensure they understand the nature of the odd one out without getting stuck on vocabulary.
-
To elaborate: Use the activity as a starting point for a 'Creative Menu': ask students to choose three foods from the list and imagine a breakfast/lunch/dinner, briefly describing their meal orally or in writing (e.g.: « For lunch, I eat rice, chicken and a tomato. »).
