Two texts about weekend activities practising verbs in the present (1st person). Questions on the texts, a gap-fill and a chance for the abler pupils to write their own piece. Module 4 Métro 1.
After oral practice and a note on how to use the negative in French, this is a worksheet which gives practice in using ne...pas. I would do this two-thirds of the way through Year 7 (end of Module 4 Métro ) but it is quite hard.
This sheet practises 'plus/moins...que' and 'aussi/pas si...que'. It starts with 'vrai/faux' questions, then asks pupils to make their own sentences using the language given. Teachers may feel the use of 'mon professeur de français' in one or two questions needs to be changed.
Pupils have to link a series of activities to the places in which they do them. This might be equally suitable for Key Stage 4. This assumes a wide range of vocabulary has been pre-taught when teaching places in town.
A simple gap-fill sheet in which pupils have to use their knowledge of gender to insert the correct pronoun. A corrected version of an earlier sheet (gentille has replaced gentile).
Four short texts with questions using common regular and irregular verbs with 'avoir' suitable for those who are doing Module 1 of Métro 2 (year 8). Questions are graded (moving from easy to harder) and there is the opportunity for pupils to write their own piece. You may feel the need to add illustrations.
Worksheet for use after introduction of countries, nationalities. Pupils should have been taught the adjective endings (français, française) and use of à plus town, en/au plus countries (and why). Uses first and third person singular. You will need to add faces.
Each question describes a situation, such as 'I got up late, I missed the train'. Students must write 'If I had got up early, I wouldn't have missed the train'.
This sheet is suitable for use with, say, Module 3 of Métro 3. Two first-person texts (one je, one nous) describe some daily activities. There are third-person questions to answer, then the opportunity to write a personal passage based on the texts. Draw in a couple of pictures at the top.
This sheet practises or revises the most important items of clothing. A description/definition is given on the left and the student chooses the correct answer from a list. It assumes the clothes been pre-taught.
A worksheet with questions of the sort 'Qui travaille avec les animaux?' 'Qui est bien payé?' which will revise pre-taught jobs and offer good dictionary practice.
This sheet revises the instruments and practises the structure jouer de + musical instrument. It assumes that this has been introduced orally and practised in a lesson.
Reading and writing practice of new verbs after j'aime from Module 4 Métro Year 7. Questions on two short texts, a gap-fill, abler pupils can then write their own piece using the models.
There are 20 questions to which pupils must find the answers using google.fr, wikipedia and amazon.
Some questions are factual (Where in France is the Pays Basque? Who is Daniel Auteuil?) Others are of the type 'I'm in Lyons and feel like eating Japanese. Find me a Japanese restaurant.&'
A long quiz about France and la Francophonie designed to teach students a lot about the French-speaking world, to use the internet for research and introduce them to some of the themes they will be covering in the sixth form. I use it at the beginning of Year 12 but it would be suitable for any time in the first few months of that year.
This contains a worksheet for students to help them think about the language of Rimbaud's poem and how it works. There are very detailed answers (a full commentary) to help teachers stimulate discussion about the poem. Ideal for Oxbridge or anyone interested in introducing their class to French poetry.
