Grammar - Tenses - Near (immediate) future

Excellent resource, introducing the near future tense through the 'aller' song, with a clear table to demonstrate formation.

Text message conversation between Simon and Carly of The Inbetweeners engages students and asks them to answer a series of questions designed to test their understanding of the tense. HA stretched through identification and translations of colloquialisms such as 'ma biche'.

Mini-whiteboard translation activity follows to gauge understanding, and a plenary with 12 sentences to translate is the last slide. This can be printed, cut up, and used in a box as a 'Pass-the-Parcel' style game, learners could throw die to determine the phrase that they translate to their partner, or in any number of different ways. LA supported through use of lesson worksheet (print table on first slide for learners to complete), HA through extension with colloquialisms and perfect tense.

Excellent for introduction at KS3 and for revision / review at KS4.
