French Studio 2 writing and speaking templates (ideal for cover work)

A set of five bilingual (French and English) writing and speaking mats/templates, loosely based on Studio 2. These mats are perfect to set cover work (students can use them to write sentences and paragraphs on each topic, use them to produce posters and classroom displays, or to create revision mind maps).
I have also used them in lessons. Some of the activities I have used these templates for include:

• dictation: read a text that uses the language in the mats and ask the students to write it down.
• dicta-translation: read a text based on the mat in French and ask the students to write it down in English, or the other way round.
• paired dictation and translation: same as above but the students read to each other.
• “great minds think alike”: ask the students to write a number of sentences and then ask them to find out, by reading their sentences to each other, if someone else wrote the exact same sentences, thus proving that they are great minds.
• “stand up if”: ask the students to highlight sentences in the mats. Then read a text based on it and ask the students to stand up (and then immediately sit down) every time that you read a word or phrase that they’ve highlighted.
• speed reading: time the students while they read from the template, see how many sentences they can read out/who is the first to read a full text etc.
• And of course the students can use the writing mat to write their own texts.
  More mats will be added shortly on topics such as health, school and relationships.
