A word document which contains key phrases for the French Letter (Junior Cert standard). Phrases are under headings e.g. family, friends, the weekend, pastimes etc... so that they are easy to find. English and French are used for each phrase. This is a go-to handout for students when writing French letters and should cover the majority of content needed for Higher level and ordinary level. Could also be used to prep students for their oral exam as it covers most topics that come Up in the oral. Also attached is a short PPT to introduce the letter to higher level students. I print this out afterwards and give it to the students as additional notes. For an introduction to letter writing for younger students, see 'my shop'.

A complete lesson based on food which can be used to consolidate students’ understanding of the vocab, to facilitate group work/class activity and which also serves as an oral exercise.

Where the survey is complete, the students are given the worksheet. Here they have to categorize the food items under headings (start/main course/dessert) and also have to write answers to 4 French questions as if they were ordering food in a French restaurant. Students like this lesson as it gives them a chance to get up and move around the class. Suitable for all age groups/levels.

A very simple word document which can be printed, laminated and cut up into individual words/phrases to make a revision resource for teaching primary economic activities. Students must first of all, identify all the different people employed in the primary sector. They then must identify all the inputs, processes and outputs of a farm and list them under the headings. This can be done alone, in pairs or in small groups. Font is 'comic sans' (which is easier for dyslexic students to read). I recommend that it is printed on yellow paper which also aids dyslexic students.
