Here I am sharing with you a set of 3 lessons that lead to speaking peer assessment on parts of the body. The first lesson revises parts of the body in French with some great funny videos from Thomas. I encourage you to share these links with your students who can watch them again at home in order to complete the parts of the body worksheet that I included in the pack. The second lesson sets up a complex speaking roleplay between a doctor and a patient. The idea behind this is that there will be unpredictable elements, as doctors and patients take it in turns to initiate the exchange. There is groupwork involved as all the doctors will be working together to prepare their script, and so will be the patients. The unprectictable elements come from the fact that the doctors will not know what the patients will say and vice-versa. The roleplay is scripted into 11 exchanges, for which I included some suggested vocabulary (in the order of the roleplay) The last lesson is when the teacher pairs a random doctor and patient, who will perform the roleplay that they have prepared independently. The rest of the class will assess their performance with GCSE-style criteria on the worksheet provided. My students love this type of activities.

This is a great game to play with your students from any years in order to practise numbers in French. You may want to print the last page, which is a nice reference about French numbers. This money sharing game is based on the concept of game theory, which is the study of mathematical models of strategic interaction between rational decision-makers. All the instructions are included on the worksheet in the target language, and you can have a look at a sample worksheet filled in for your reference. The instructions are very simple, and yet I am sure that your students will thoroughly enjoy this.

French AQA GCSE Speaking - Possible questions in themes & timeframes Here are some possible questions for both Foundation and Higher candidates, arranged in the themes prescribed by AQA.

Have you ever wondered how to get your students to improve their cultural understanding of the French-speaking world? How to allow them to work independently - yet at their own pace, while sharing and discussing their findings with their peers? How to ensure that they go beyond the facts, and target the top band of the assessment criteria by showing their ability to analyse the information that they have uncovered in their research? But maybe more importantly that they do not give up halfway through and that they feel completely prepared for the speaking examination? To further my work on the 72 speaking cards for the AQA A-Level speaking examination in French which you can find here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/72-cards-for-the-aqa-a-levels-speaking-examination-in-french-paper-3-all-themes-12011519 , I prepared for my students a 36-page reading guide, covering all the sub-sub themes (I call them granular themes) for the speaking part of their test. Each page consists of the following, for every single granular theme studied: 2 recent (2015-2018) web links to sites providing factual information, in a paragraph form, forming the base for a three-tiered reading comprehension activity. 5 further demanding questions on the granular theme, the answers to which require a demonstration of analysis. each worksheet can be set for homework, peer or teacher assessment, classroom presentation or a combination of any of these. What you are getting there is a lot more than the sum of its parts: it’s a complete system to get your students to read around the subject independently, something that you can plan with them months in advance and review with them when the time is right.

Today I would like to share a little tip with you that could potentially save you hours, money and headaches. If you need your students to type in either French or Spanish, you will soon realise that learning the ALT codes is really cumbersome, slowing them down, and not ideal for the classroom. There is an alternative on PC, which is to change the keyboard language to either French or Spanish, and place a few stickers on some keys to have a fully-working(*) foreign keyboard at no cost.
