Tolerance and religion can be a tricky topic to teach our students but it is crucial. It is sometimes difficult for students to embrace differences and to be tolerant. We live in a world full of prejudice, intolerance and ignorance and it is our role as teachers to teach our students how to respect each other regardless of their social-economic backgrounds or religions.
I have created this resource for every teacher that may be confronted to religious misunderstanding in his/her class and also for those who simply want to underline the key principle of the 5 major religions: Respect
It could also be used in assembly to raise awareness about religions.
Here’s what you will get with this resource: a 15-page booklet for students to keep tracks of their leaning and a 33-slide PPT to create more interactivity. Each step of the lesson is explained at the bottom of the slides and activities are corrected to save you time.

Hi everyone!
Teaching grammar can be a little bit scary if we don't know where to start. To get you started with the challenging French grammar here's a bundle with 5 tenses:
1. The simple present
2. The perfect tense (passé-composé)
3. The imperfect tense (imparfait)
4. The future (near future tense and simple future)
5. The conditional present
For each tense you will find a powerpoint (between 16/22 slides) with clear explanations and corrections to save you time.
Each powerpoint comes with its booklet (about 5 pages) so that students can keep track of their learning with exercises and explanations. The powerpoint is fully editable so that you can adapt it to your class. The advantage of the booklet is that students can work at their own pace and most able students can move on to the next activity easily.
Each lesson follows a similar pattern:
1. Introduction to the grammar point through a real context (reading, song or video)
2. Questions to guide students in their discovery of the grammar
3. Explanations of the tense (use and formation)
4. Exercises (progressive ones from easy ones to more difficult ones: filling-gap, matching-up, speaking activities, games, writing...)
Any Question Mail me at carolinemusserotte@teacherlocker.com
Beginners in English usually like telling about where they come from and where they live. How about having the context, the vocabulary and the grammar in just one place with explanations, exercises and feedback?
This flexible resource will help you teach young adults and adults about places (city, village, countryside…), types of accommodation (house, flat, farm…) and grammar points there is/are with vocabulary of places (traffic, pollution, cars, parks…) and likes/dislikes related to places and accommodations (beautiful, quiet, noisy…).

The resource also contains an activity booklet for students with 12 pages so that they keep a record of their learning.
The approach is communicative to allow students to develop their speaking skills but it also contains grammar points reinforced by exercises to consolidate their grammatical skills and writing skills.
You will find different types of activities to allow a greater differentiation in your class:
- Texts with questions
- Speaking activities in pairs
- Reading activity with matching up
- Vocabulary activities about places
- Matching up activities (places, accommodations)
- Classification of likes/dislikes and reasons

Teaching grammar in French can be a headache especially when it comes to tenses. If you need to teach the imperfect tense but you are not quite sure where to start, this flexible resource will help you.
You will find a step-by-step powerpoint (with guiding notes at the bottom of each slide) with a relevant context for the lesson, a clearly explained and progressive grammatical point and exercises to practice. Every activity is followed by a feedback/correction to save your time.
This resource is aimed at intermediate students but you can easily adapt it for pre-intermediate or advanced students.
You will also get the handout so that students can keep a written track of their learning.
The resource contains:
1. A self-target setting slide with the objectives of the lesson
2. A starter with a story to reorder and verbs to identify
3. An explanation about the different uses of the imperfect tense with clear examples
4. An explanation about the formation of the imperfect
5. Introduction to the verb ÊTRE, -CER verbs, GER verbs
6. Exercises (filling gaps, writing, word search, sentences to complete, sentences to change from singular to plural form)
7. A review of objectives
Have fun teaching the imperfect tense!
