Here is how to use it:


 * __Description and "mode d'emploi"__**:

This is an authentic and very energetic French song (Mika "Elle Me Dit") that can be used for a final project on "My Everyday Life" unit in French I or French II in Middle or High School (grades 7-12).

A class can be divided into 3-4 groups to make their own video clips based on the same music, but with different words. The teams can be given (or offered to choose) their own specific topic based on the original video's spirit, for example, being tired of everyday routine at school or home, being tired of parental supervision etc. The only words that must be used in the new lyrics are the ones that are constantly repeated in the original song (Elle me dit... Pourquois... Je danse.... Gater ta vie...).


 * __Technology and software to back up the project:__**

1) French rhyming dictionary: []

2) Free audio editing and recording software to remove the French lyrics and record students' voices: []

3) Free Windows Movie Maker software:
