The worksheet gives learners an open-ended creative task based on the question À quoi ressemblerait ta planète ? Students first draw the surface of an imaginary planet, adding territories, seas and oceans.
They then choose a name for the planet, describe it, present its inhabitants and complete a small drawing area labelled Dessin d’un habitant. The activity encourages personal expression, descriptive vocabulary and longer written production in French.
