Dear students, you have been working on Halloween shop windows. Let's have a look at useful words to talk about Halloween, windows display ... and discover so many ways to describe it.
The French students tried to fill in the grid with their local knowledge (it seems that here in this part of France, some families tend to call Halloween, la Nuit des Sorcières!) I have never heard this expression before. Do you Pauline and your students use it? I am very curious to know!
I have chosen to write our propositions in red. Are there any translations more accurate in French?
