In Mrs. Rachel Chabot’s French II class during first period on Tuesday, she had her students perform songs in French.

“We needed to review music vocab, but I didn’t want to do a boring activity, so we are having a karaoke competition,” said Chabot.

The students formed groups and chose a song from a list Chabot provided. The class was allowed to look at the lyrics on their phones during the performance of their song.

After everyone had performed, Chabot had the class vote on their favorite performance “using the vocab they had learned to justify why one group was better than the other.”
