New Years' resolutions - Mes Résolutions

Updated for 2019 and a further reading resource added which is suitable for KS4 commenting on the most memorable events in France in 2019.

Attached within this resource pack are an array of teaching materials to practice reading, speaking and writing using the future tense and future expressions.

There is a teacher presentation with a view of Europe at New Year. The starter is Father Christmas’s resolution and the pupils have to work out what he has promised. The presentation then takes pupils through how to form the future tense. This then complements the speaking and writing frame. Pupils can then speak or write about their plans for the forthcoming year using and adapting future expressions, connectives and opinions. The plenary on the teacher PPT is a challenging translation exercise of what people have resolved to do.

There is a second writing frame containing less prompts just sub-headings in terms of resolutions for different areas of their lives.
There is a reading worksheet with 11 tweets regarding resolutions. Pupils have to scan the text to find out which tweet belongs to which person. There is also a word search attached.

This pack is ideally suited to the first lesson back with your class. I have usually combined it with pupils setting their targets for the next half-term and reflecting on what went well in the previous year.

This can be used with a variety of age groups and is easy to print and edit.
