This presentation is for introducing the theme *Experience* for

G11 IBDP students.

Lesson Plan (60 minutes):

1. Play Alegria, a Cirque du Soleil theme as the student enter the

classroom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?

2. Ask them if they are familiar with ‘Cirque de Soleil’ -

3. Tell them that each show is designed around a them. Then start the
presentation with the first video (slide 2) which has a short clip from a
show with the ‘Avataar’ theme. They have probably forgotten the plot
of the film, so it will be a good discussion to have in French.
4. Now, play a short clip from the film (slide 3) where Jake, the
protagonist, is learning about life in Pandora. Use the questions
provided to start a discussion around experiences and how they
change us (or don’t) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?

5. The final activity (slide 4) is where the students prepare a mind map
to represent Jake’s CAS sheet (if he were an IBDP student).
