I teach this after teaching the Future Tense.
Expressions:
Si j’étais riche j’achèterais une grande maison à la campagne.
Si j’étais riche je conduirais une ferrari!
Si j’étais riche je boirais du champagne tous les jours!
The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. It is differentiated as follows:
All: translate the sentences below. What is the stem? What does this remind you of? What is the ending?
Most: Match the subject pronouns: je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles and the endings: aient, ais, ait, ions, ais, iez.
Some: Which tense has the same endings? QFQs!
* QFQs = Quick Fire Questions: here the students quiz each other.
The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English, the rules and to drill.
Slides 6 and 7 consider the stem and endings.
Battleships Expressions:
Si j’étais riche
Si je gagnais à la loterie
Si j’étais célèbre
Si je n’avais pas tant de devoirs
Si j’avais plus de temps libre
j’irais aux Etats-Unis.
je ferais de la planche à voile.
je viendrais chez toi.
je serais très content(e).
je sortirais tous les soirs.
je pourrais faire les magasins.
Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions.
The students then focus on pronunciation and decide the two easiest and two most difficult words to pronounce before playing.
I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory.
Lesson Starter Expressions Include:
Si j’étais riche j’habiterais une grande maison à la campagne.
J’achèterais un avion et un bateau.
Je boirais une bouteille de champagne par jour.
Extra: Unjumble.
Si j’étais riche je ferias de la planche à voile tous les jours.
Si je gagnais à la loterie j’achèterais beaucoup de vêtements très chers!
The first sheet has the answers. Cut the second sheet into 3. Give the students a sheet. They draw lines between the individual words and longer lines between the sentences.
There is an extension task to unjumble sentences for stronger students.
