An easy sheet with basic vocabulary to express what you do on the internet and how often. Start by filling in the English for some vocabulary then fill in the Spanish. There is a sentence builder which I use to do a few dictation activities (ie I say a sentence out loud and they use the sentence builder to write it down) then the students translate some sentences into English using the sentence builder. Next the students use the sentence builder to translate sentences into Spanish. As a follow up I ask students to write a para about their own internet use.

Two guided Spanish sentence builders: one chores and the frequency you do them, the second on opinions of chores using modals. English sentences to translate orally and in writing. A basic writing strip to follow so the students can write a short paragraph. I go through the sentence builder - I read some sentences that they can write or orally translate. Students work in pairs or small groups to take it in turns to say the sentences out loud. I usually follow this by getting students to write down some of the sentences. Finally they can construct a short paragraph using the writing strip (could be next lesson as a starter?) to help them.

This is a Spanish worksheet for low ability students to help them write an accurate paragraph about where they live. Firstly there are two model paragraphs that are translated. Students spot the mistakes and highlight them. Then students highlight the useful parts of the model paragraph. Finally they copy the bits they highlighted and (hopefully) insert their own answers. Once they have a good paragraph I suggest they copy it into the outline of a house (easily found online), colour it and that makes a nice display, a little village of paragraphs.

A scaffolded worksheet with the aim of getting students to write about their Christmas in French. Starts off with vocab into English then French.

Finally they should be able to write about their own Christmas. If they have worked very nicely there is a battleships game to play too

A worksheet introducing vocabulary about Post 16 education and aiming to get students able to form correct sentences about plans using basic modal verbs. Vocab then translation and sentence builder.

Six pages of revision that I prepared for my year 7 students to use independently. We are using the textbook Allez and our upcoming assessment will rely heavily on Unit 3 with some vocabulary from the first two units thrown in. The revision booklet covers vocabulary, sentences and translation. There is a Foundation GCSE style writing activity with support down the left- hand side of the page. This booklet would be ideal for a cover lesson. There is also a version with the answers.

GCSE French powerpoints for quickfire testing. Snippets of grammar. A very short snippet, phrase or word to translate and then the answer on the next slide. Designed to be quick and low stakes. Students write answers on mini white boards and hold up. Answers could also be given orally or just written as a list in books. English to French too hard? Do the powerpoint backwards! I use my clicker to change slides quickly. These are ones I’ve used with my own classes. There is a foundation (or easier) version and a higher (or harder) version. I use this activity again and again with the same slides (they get better at it). It’s a starter or a good time filler if you have a few minutes and want to get some energy back in the room. I do 10 minutes worth and then stop wherever I got to (or it gets boring). I use the same one for year 9, 10 and 11. It’s not pretty but it’s effective.

Three worksheets I use to get GCSE French students speaking and then writing about past holidays oral translation sheet: students use the example to take it in turns (in pairs or threes?) orally translating sentences using the example to help. The sentences start very simple and add a bit each time to get harder. I follow this up by asking them to do a written translation of about 5 of them. trapdoor activity: pair work. Each student selects ONE of the options (in secret) and takes it in turns to read the paragraph to their friend guessing each time which option their friend has chosen in a sentence. Their turn finishes when they make a mistake. Of course this means they will read the sentences a lot of times! spot the difference: several similar but slightly different paragraphs about a holiday. Highlight differences, pick out what they mean then write your own similar one.
