A clear test set out in 5 sections; conditional endings, regular verbs, irregular verbs, translate sentences into English, translate sentences into French.

This is a Spanish worksheet for low ability students to help them write an accurate paragraph about where they live.
Firstly there are two model paragraphs that are translated. Students spot the mistakes and highlight them.
Then students highlight the useful parts of the model paragraph.
Finally they copy the bits they highlighted and (hopefully) insert their own answers.
Once they have a good paragraph I suggest they copy it into the outline of a house (easily found online), colour it and that makes a nice display, a little village of paragraphs.

Three worksheets I use to get GCSE French students speaking and then writing about past holidays
oral translation sheet: students use the example to take it in turns (in pairs or threes?) orally translating sentences using the example to help. The sentences start very simple and add a bit each time to get harder. I follow this up by asking them to do a written translation of about 5 of them.
trapdoor activity: pair work. Each student selects ONE of the options (in secret) and takes it in turns to read the paragraph to their friend guessing each time which option their friend has chosen in a sentence. Their turn finishes when they make a mistake. Of course this means they will read the sentences a lot of times!
spot the difference: several similar but slightly different paragraphs about a holiday. Highlight differences, pick out what they mean then write your own similar one.
Worksheet going from vocabulary to sentences to writing a 90 or 150 word piece about social problems for GCSE French.

There is an example 90 word answer with gapped translation and word find activity. Finally students write their own 90 word piece using what they have learnt and can move on to 150 words.
Six pages of revision that I prepared for my year 7 students to use independently. We are using the textbook Allez and our upcoming assessment will rely heavily on Unit 3 with some vocabulary from the first two units thrown in.
The revision booklet covers vocabulary, sentences and translation. There is a Foundation GCSE style writing activity with support down the left- hand side of the page.
This booklet would be ideal for a cover lesson.
There is also a version with the answers.
A scaffolded worksheet with the aim of getting students to write about their Christmas in French.
Starts off with vocab into English then French.
Sentence builder to get students to translate sentences into French using modals.
Followed by three model paragraphs - all very similar with details changed. I was going to use the opportunity to revise telling the time and daily routine. Students are asked to complete three gapfilled translations into English then translate one back into French.
Finally they should be able to write about their own Christmas.
If they have worked very nicely there is a battleships game to play too
A vocab and sentence building sheet for students to write about Christmas, plus a battleships game to play afterwards.
Students fill in vocab Spanish to English and vice versa. Then they use the sentence builder (modals) to write about Christmas.

A worksheet introducing vocabulary about Post 16 education and aiming to get students able to form correct sentences about plans using basic modal verbs.

Sheet 2 : more detailled sentence builder to write sentences about plans post 16 includes easy comprehension reading activity with a lot of repeated vocabulary. Students write their own sentences using the builder then read 4 short paragraphs about future plans and pick out the main information.
The idea is that they use the paragraphs as a model for their own piece of writing.
