I created this workbook when I studied L'Étranger with my Year 13 French B Higher Level class. The aim of this workbook is to provide a variety of activities to help students understand the novel, the style and philosophy of its author. There are comprehension exercises, writing tasks, grammar activities (use of tenses in the novel) and one interactive oral activity. It is geared towards French B Higher Level students, but could easily be used for A-level students. Working through this workbook would take 3 to 4 weeks.

I created this wordsearch for my Yr9 top set. Pupils have to work out the meaning of the definitions and find the corresponding word. Great to revise foods and drinks or to introduce healthy eating... Or to set cover when you're snowed in!!!

Worksheet to introduce/revise different sports and free-time activities in German, or to extend pupils' vocabulary. Pupils have to match up the phrases with the pictures

Worksheet to introduce the subjunctive to yr12 or yr13. The two practice exercises at the end are linked to the environment, but can easily be adapted to whatever you are currently working on.

I created this resource for 3 of my year 10s who are much more advanced than the rest of the class. It is designed so that students can work independently and introduces new vocabulary and grammar, but also includes a reading comprehension task and some opportunities for speaking. This should represent about 7 or 8 hours of work for a student, providing they take the time to learn the vocabulary, take notes and practise the grammar. This is also ideal to set as cover and it can be given to students up to year 12 as thorough revision. I have also included an answer sheet for all the activities.

This resource is based on Paper 1 for French B SL/HL. The questions are modelled on the exam, so it can be used either as a practice in class or for a mock exam. I have included the markscheme at the end. This article from L'Express is a comparison between the food habits in the US and in France.

Crossword puzzle to introduce/revise environmental issues (deforestation, greenhouse gases, acid rains, etc.). Students are given a definition of the issue and have to find the corresponding word. I used it with my Year 13 (Standard Level) at the beginning of my unit on the effect of man on the environment. While the words are reasonably straightforward, the definitions are a little harder. It could also be used with an advanced IGCSE group, or an IB ab initio group.

Takeaway homework gives student the opportunity to choose how they want to reinforce their learning and when. It puts the onus on them, rather than being an imposition from the teacher. Hand out this menu to your class and set out clear expectations: they will hand in one homework a week, or 4 homeworks each month (as per your requirements). Students will then choose a task that will appeal most to them and enable them to focus on their own needs or develop their own strengths and creativity. This homework menu has 3 levels of difficulty so the homework is immediately differentiated and there are 14 different tasks. The tasks are generic enough to be applied to any topic you are currently studying. A few of them give students the opportunity to do some independent learning.

It covers regular, irregular and reflexive verbs in the following tenses and modes: - infinitive - Pluperfect - Imperfect - Perfect - Recent past - Present - Future with 'aller' - Simple future - Conditional It can be given as a task to complete in class (in which case you will have to wipe it clean). I also had it printed out with answers on A3 and laminated so my students could keep it on their desks and refer back to it. Students found it extremely clear and very useful for their revision.
