High-impact grammar starter slides for French GCSE. Each slide features four scaffolded activities that engage high-ability learners and provide targeted support for foundation students. With a focus on essential verbs, this resource offers consolidation through repetition. All main tenses are covered for both higher and foundation tiers. I have added revision for adverbs and time phrases.
Fully editable, you can choose to remove or swap verbs to suit your group’s needs. I chose to repeat verbs and time phrases across the slides for added support, and I have kept the tenses in order as well. I shuffle them for assessed tasks, but here the aim is consolidation.
• Task 1 is aimed at foundation students with a simple translation of frequently used verbs. I have chosen verbs they are likely to need in both the writing and speaking papers.
• Task 2 will likely be completed by both tiers and provides much-needed revision of adverbs and time phrases. This supports writing by adding variety and ensuring the use of the three time frames in the 90-word task (AQA).
• Task 3 is an overlapping task that provides foundation students with a challenge from Task 1 and serves as a stepping stone for higher-tier students before completing Task 4.
• Task 4 requires students to conjugate a given verb independently. I have increased the level of difficulty as we progress through the slides. They must also use adverbs and time phrases (linked to Task 2). A further challenge is offered to support the use of complex structures and a wide range of language by requiring different subject pronouns.
The colours used refer to our school taxonomy and enable our students to quickly assess the level of difficulty of a task. Please feel free to change them to suit your own organisation.
I have provided answers for the first three tasks on each slide (Task 4 will depend on the students’ own work).
Efficient drilling activities designed to build GCSE-level confidence in French by reinforcing key opinions and verbs, as well as promoting the use of varied vocabulary. Perfect for KS4, each quick exercise helps students practice in exam conditions, enhancing their readiness for both the writing and speaking exams. Ideal for starters all year round or quick booster session.
31 slides covering the whole curriculum, divided into 10 units. Fully editable to suit your needs. I have included between 6 to 8 prompts per topics covering all 3 time frames.
Every topic comes with a slide with an overview of the prompts for clarity.
Every topic has to slides. One for H, one for F. The only difference is the support box which has different sentence starters to reflect the expected complexity of the language.
I use this as a standard starter once a week with my KS4.
• Helps drill in the use of opinions.
• Promotes a varied use of language.
• Practice of tenses/ time frames.
• Provides links to previous units/ theme (challenge)
