This PowerPoint elicits the translations and therefore the rules of Demonstrative Adjectives and Demonstrative Pronouns. When I show the question slide I put the students into groups to discuss the answers for a minute before checking using the following slide. For example the first slide asks: Ce garçon = ? Ces garçons = ? Cette femme = ? Ces femmes = ? Cependant, il faut dire «cet homme.» Pourquoi? And the second slide reveals the answers and gives you the opportunity to discuss the rules. The fourth slide asks and answers: Parfois on dit «cet homme-ci» ou «cette femme-là.» Pourquoi? The fifth slide moves onto deminstrative pronouns and asks: Ceci and cela/ça = ? Avez-vous considéré cela? = ? Je n’aime pas ça! = ? Ceci est precisement ce que je voulais = ? Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire? = The answers are on slide 6. Slide 7 asks: De toutes les robes que j’ai essayées je préfère celle-ci = ? Quelle est la différence entre ceci et celle-ci? ...and slide 8 presents the answers.

Les métiers! Give the students a mini-whiteboard each and show them the first slide which gives the following differentiated instructions: All: Draw a picture to illustrate 1/3 jobs (masc/fem). Most: Draw a picture to illustrate 2/3 jobs (masc/fem). Some: Draw a picture to illustrate 3/3 jobs. (masc/fem) and identify the tense (present, perfect, imperfect, future, conditional). Then show them slide 2 which has the following phrases and give them a minute to complete all, most or some for each phrase: Je vais devenir… coiffeur menuisier vendeuse Je voudrais être… mécanicienne institutrice infirmier Je voulais être… comptable médecin sapeur-pompier Mon grand-père/ ma grand-mère était… cuisinière kinésithérapeute ingénieur Mon frère/ ma sœur deviendra….. nourrice plombier informaticienne

Expressions taught: Il faut arriver à l’heure. Il ne faut pas laisser son portable allumé. Il ne faut pas manger en classe. On ne doit pas courir dans les couloirs. On ne doit pas fumer à l’intérieur. Il ne faut pas porter de bijoux. Il faut respecter les profs et les autres élèves. Il faut faire ses devoirs regulièrement. Il faut apporter un mot d’absence signé par les parents. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slides.

I have designed these resources to celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics. They build student’s knowledge of sports vocabulary and adjectives using YouTube extracts, fun animations, matching cards, a video extract worksheet and finally a creative task to help the students express their Olympic/Paralympic passions! Slide 2 presents the differentiated lesson objectives. Slide 3 has the Olympic motto and pictures of Olympian heroes. Slide 4 is the warmer task: name as many Olympic/Paralympic sports as possible from student’s previous knowledge and includes links to the Juntos | Campaña oficial del COI in both Spanish and English (1 min 30 secs each) to inspire the students. They may do this in teams, pairs or individually. The full list of Olympic and Paralympic events can be found on a PDF in these resources. Slides 5 to 43 build new Olympic/Paralympic sports vocabulary: El atletismo El remo El piragüismo La equitación La esgrima El levantamiento de pesas La lucha El buceo El nado sincronizado El tiro El tiro con arco La vela Slide 5 invites the students to: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! *Here the students quiz each other, e.g Spanish to English, English to Spanish, spellings etc. of the new vocabulary. Slides 6 to 17 have 1 slide per expression and allow you to drill the new vocabulary. Then there is graded questioning. Slides 19 to 30 show the images and give the students a choice of two possible sports to choose from. Then slides 31 to 43 are what’s missing? slides. Slide 44 should be used in conjunction with the worksheet. Here the students tick the sports they see on the Paralympic trailer video (2 mins 48 secs) and includes an extension task for stronger students. The answers are on the first two pages of the worksheet PDF. The next slide should be used with the English-Spanish adjectives matching cards. Adjectives: trabajador/a entusiasmado/a perezoso/a nervioso/a concentrado/a seguro/a relajado/a encantado/a orgulloso/a egoísta terco/a lento/a rápido/a hablador(a) habilidoso/a Once matched you may like to play pelmenism/slap the card. Then complete the second half of the worksheet: students watch the official Rio 2016 trailer and tick the adjectives which reflect the emotions of the athletes and spectators as well as other adjectives to describe what they see. There is an extension task for stronger students. Then the students have a choice of three creative tasks: to design and decorate in Spanish an Olympic torch, an Olympic flag or to write a poem about their Olympic/Paralympic hero. The last slide is for reflection.

Vocabulary presented: J’ai un stylo. J’ai un crayon. J’ai un cahier. J’ai un livre. J’ai un taille-crayon. J’ai un classeur. J’ai un sac. J’ai un dictionnaire. J’ai une règle. J’ai une trousse. J’ai une gomme. J’ai une calculatrice. J’ai des ciseaux. J’ai des feutres. J’ai des tennis. 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. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to check the pronunciation, the English, whether the noun is masculine or feminine and to drill. As there are quite a lot of items I have divided them into 2 groups, starting with the first 7 items. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slides. Then I have added slides of the next 8 phrases and pictures, followed by multiple choice questions and "What's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Battleships Expressions: I have added in a range of tenses and other expressions to challenge and stretch the students. Je voudrais un crayon Je n’aime pas mon taille-crayon J’ai besoin d’une règle J’achète des ciseaux Je n’ai pas de classeur j’ai quinze dictionnaires ! je vais acheter un bâton de colle. je n’ai pas de feutres. j’ai acheté une calculatrice. j’ai oublié mes tennis. J’ai perdu ma trousse.

Spanish PowerPoint introducing school bag vocabulary: tengo/ me hace falta + pen, pencil, exercise book, text book, pencil sharpener, folder, dictionary, ruler, pencil case, rubber, diary. I have broken the vocabulary down into 2 sections. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "¿Qué es?" slides. More vocabulary is presented, followed by multiple choice questions and "what's missing?" slides.The final slide has pictures of all the new vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

This 1 slide PowerPoint can be used to teach the alphabet and to play Beat The Teacher! The teacher points to a letter and says a letter in French. If it is the correct letter the students all repeat it. If its the wrong letter the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Brilliant for contrasting G & J and E & I! Battleships Game: (this includes the french pronunciation of the letters) Instructions The students love this competitive and fun game! I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation of the letters. I drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game: The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a letter from the horizontal line and then a letter from the vertical line. Where the 2 letters meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the second sheet (without pronunciation help) to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the first version and then try to play the game pronouncing the letters correctly as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the first sheet next to the second sheet so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the first sheet and the really strong students aim to refer back to the first sheet as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. The "I spy with my little eye...." one slide PowerPoint can be used as a simple 10 minute French warmer/ starter activity. I get the students to play this in small groups practising not only classroom vocabulary, but also thinking more imaginatively e.g. clothing, colours and vocabulary such as "hair" and "eyes." Therefore this can be used with a variety of year groups. Then we play as a whole class. Enjoy!

PowerPoint vocabulary: Un chien Un chat Un lapin Une souris Une perruche Un serpent Un cheval Un hamser Un cochon d'Inde Une tortue Un poisson rouge The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have mutiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Students ask and answer using the structures: Tu as un animal chez toi? Oui, J’ai _____________________________________ Non, je n’ai pas d’animal. As many students are confident talking about pets I've added 2 extension phrases which the students can also use: Quand j’étais petit(e) j’avais _______________________________ Je voudrais avoir _______________________________ I've also added a reminder about plurals: Normally we add an s (silent) e.g. J’ai un chien, j’ai deux chiens. If the noun ends in al we add replace al with aux e.g. un cheval, deux chevaux. If the noun already ends in the letter s we do not need to change it to make in plural e.g. une souris, deux souris. They task has been divided into 3 levels of challenge: All: answer main question. Draw number of animals. Most: Give an extra detail in your answer. Draw number of animals. Some: Give 2 extra details in your answer. Spell the number and animal perfectly in French. I play the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game with the students using mini-whiteboards. The question asks how to say an animal in French and there are 4 possible French answers to chose from. Differentiate as follows: All: Choose a letter. Most: AND translate one remaining animal. Some: AND translate all 3 remaining animals.

This sheet has a range of expression to support students creating a French Wanted Poster either in class or as homework to practise adjectives for physical description. Phrases given include: Recherché = wanted Récompense = reward Mort ou vif = Dead or alive Euros = euros Il/Elle s’appelle… = He/ She is called Il/ Elle a *** ans = He/ She is *** years old. Son anniversaire est le…. = His/ her birthday is on the… There are 3 levels of challenge to extend the more able students whilst supporting those who are weaker.

Expressions taught: C’est super! C’est difficile. C’est intéressant. C’est nul. C’est fatigant. C’est amusant. C’est génial. Ce n’est pas marrant. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. I sometimes found it quite difficult to find suitable pictures for these expression - encourage the students to think outside the box when figuring out the meanings! The next section of slides have mutiple choice questions. The final Qu’est-ce que c’est? slide has pictures of all the phrases to be used for direct questioning. This can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

French PowerPoint Presentation: Infinitives The first slide revises what the infinitive is and elicits examples. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. Presentation and Battleships Expressions (please see Battleships instructions for another product - I can't fit it on the word count here!!): J’aime surfer sur Internet. J’adore retrouver des amis. Je n’aime pas regarder la télé. J’adore écouter de la musique. Je préfère aller au cinéma. Je vais aller à la pêche. Je peux danser. The next slide s can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Then there are "What's missing?" slides.

Extension task 1: Students write sentences based on picture cues. Extension task 2: Create a paragraph using other phrases with the infinitive.

This step-by-step French PowerPoint gradually elicits the formation of negatives with the present tense: ne + pas. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new structure: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings and rules. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class: All: Translate the phrases below. Most: AND decide which two words we add to make a sentence negative. Where are they positioned? Some: AND: decide why we say n’ai pas rather than ne ai pas. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Je suis généreux. Je ne suis pas généreux. J’ai un frère. Je n’ai pas de frères. J’ai une souris. Je n’ai pas d’animal. The following slides gradually check the students' answers. Slide 8 recaps the new expressions and can be used for a game. Slide 9 recaps the questions (can be used for revision next lesson) and slide 10 is the same a slide 8. Worksheet: This sheet starts with a re-cap of the rules: To make this sentence negative we add ne and pas. These go around the verb e.g. Je ne joue pas au tennis = I don’t play tennis. Then there is a French - English translation section, followed by English - French translation. The next section reminds us that du changes to de after a negative. This is followed by English - French translation. The final section is to build in previous knowledge to write a short paragraph. The following phrases are offered for support: Tous les jours = everyday car = because mais = but donc = therefore et = and une fois par semaine = once a week deux fois par semaine = twice a week c’est = it is intéressant = interesting génial = great ennuyeux = boring. Battleships: This battleships can be used to revise a variety of expressions with ne + pas. I have also included one near future and one perfect tense example to add challenge/ expose students to these new tenses. Expressions: Je n’ai pas de frères et sœurs et Je ne suis pas travailleur et Tu n’as pas d’animal et Il n’habite pas en France et Elle n’est pas généreuse et Nous ne sommes pas sympas et je ne joue pas au foot. tu ne joues pas au basket. il ne fait pas de cyclisme. je ne vais pas faire de ski. je n’ai pas joué au tennis. Please see instructions for playing battleships on one of my other product descriptions - I can't fit it in here!

Tu t'appelles comment? 13. Je m'appelle… This worksheet has 3 sections, the first is a word match for English and French greetings. The next section is a complete the sentence challenge where certain letters have been removed. Make this more difficult by telling the students to cover up the French words listed above. The next (extra) section involves unjumbling a group of words to find the correct greetings. Again, make this more difficult by telling the students to cover up the French words listed above. Then there is an extension task to create their own comic strip. Battleships Expressions: Bonjour! Ça va? Salut! Ça va? Bonsoir. Ça va? Je m’appelle ***. Ça va? Ça va très bien, merci. Ça va bien, merci. Ça va. Comme ci comme ça. Bof. Ça ne va pas/ ça va mal. Battleships Game Instructions I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. 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. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. Enjoy! Song: 1 slide PowerPoint: Salut! Salut ! salut! Salut ! Comment vas-tu ? Ça va bien ; donc, à demain. Salut ! Salut ! (tune =  Hi-Ho: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs).

Battleships Expressions: Tengo Tienes Miguel tiene Antonio tiene Javier tiene Tenemos once años. doce años. trece años. catorce años. quince años. dieciséis años. Battleships Game Instructions The students love this competitive and fun game! I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. 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. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the Spanish version and then try to play the game saying the Spanish phrases as far as possible from memory.
