Pâques, une fête très chocolat: Easter Text, Worksheet, Questions, Video and Research Project

Pâques, une fête très chocolat: Excellent lesson on Easter, touching on history, tradition and chocolate, based on a French text from the ‘1 jour 1 actu’ French website (full link on top of worksheet).

Questions include multiple choice answers based on comprehension, linguistic challenge (such as selecting synonyms) and research tasks that can be developed as fully as teacher wishes (particularly useful for KS5).

A second worksheet asks students to reflect on a video on how chocolate is made (link on worksheet) and to answer a separate set of questions to work on their listening comprehension. For KS5 learners, I recommend playing the video straight through twice after modelling the first answer. KS4 learners would benefit from the video being paused several times to allow them to note down the answers.

A full A4 page of vocabulary (divided into paragraphs to match those in the text) is provided to support learners who would benefit from this help. Increase challenge by withholding from learners.

As I did not author the text I have not included it on the worksheet, however the link for the text and for the video are both there. If students have their own devices, they can access an electronic copy in class, or a paper copy could be printed for them by teacher.

Great fun to teach and fully differentiated!
