This is a powerpoint I made last year during lockdown when my primary children were working from home.There is an audio recording (French native speaker) for the key vocabulary which is ideal if you are not confident at French but have to teach it. Obviously you can get rid of it, if you want to. To make sure the lesson catered for all abilities, I kept it simple and use repetition a lot to drill key vocab. There are a couple of differentiated reading and writing tasks at the end.

Here is a powerpoint to revise what we like watching on TV and hobbies. The slides aim at encouraging group conversation or pair work. I have recapped present tense with 'er verbs and added negatives and adverbs to express the frequency. There is also a snake and ladders board game with films and opinion.

This quiz contains 43 questions on French historical figures, landmarks, fashion brands, culture…etc. For each question there is choice of three or more answers. I have used it with my year 6 but it can be used with older pupils e.g. ks3 and ks4. I have also attached the answers sheet.

Here are two comprehension tasks I have created on la Nouvelle Vague. The reading comprehension goes with an article published on Lumni Enseignement. The listening task goes with a video which shows Truffaut explaining la Nouvelle Vague to the famous journalist Anne Sinclair.

Here are some resources I have created for very able French learners in to practise the -er verbs and ir verbs at the present. There are a couple a worksheet and some blockbuster games to play in class (with some challenging tasks, e.g. doubling the consonant with verbs like jeter, je jette).

Here are resources I created for my most able students. They were given various tasks to conjugate regular French verbs ending in -ir such as finir and choisir.

Here are resources I have created to practise -er verbs. You will find a worksheet which pupils can use as support to make sentences using various -er verbs and pronouns. There is also a 4 in a row template.

Here is a powerpoint I have created on the topics (qu’est-ce que tu regardes et qu’est-ce que tu lis?) I have tried to introduce get the students’ interest by using authentic French films poster/ titles to get them to guess the famous films/ programs.

Here is a resources I created to challenge my more able pupils. There is picture first to describe. The information (adjectives, hair and eye colour, personality, job, hobbies and age) are in English and they have to write sentences in French to describe each member. The next task is a long reading task, followed by a table to complete. The third task is a translation. The final task is a faulty translation. They have to spot the mistakes and correct them.
