Crosswords to practise personality adjectives and adjective agreements. Students have to complete the sentences using the correct adjective with the correct adjective agreements. This gives them an opportunity to see these adjectives used in context and in idiomatic turns of phrase, which they can later reuse for a speaking or a writing activity. I used it at the beginning of Year 10 as an extension task while revising how to describe someone, but it could also be used in KS3 with a more advanced group.

Here's a guided worksheet to complete as you watch the movie. It focuses mainly on developing vocabulary and enhancing comprehension but can be supported by class discussion. The second worksheet is a follow-on from the booklet and gives students the opportunity to read a film review for 'Amélie', look at how to write a film review, and plan their own review. The level of difficulty is A2/B1, accessible for students who have been learning French for 2-3 years at least. It is a great opportunity for students to gain an insight into French culture. Watching the movie and completing the booklet would take up to 5-6 hours. The film review worksheet would take about an hour to complete and the review can be set as an assessed task or a homework.

This grammar worksheet starts with a brief revision of the imperfect, the future simplet and the conditional tenses/modes, which students often tend to confuse. It then introduces the 3 different types of "si" clauses: - Si + present + future --> Si nous continuons de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurons de gros problèmes. - Si + imperfect + conditional --> Si nous continuions de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurions de gros problèmes. - Si + pluperfect + conditional past --> Si nous avions continué de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurions eu de gros problèmes. The explanation is followed by 2 fairly difficult exercises on the topic of the environment. I have created and used this worksheet with my French Higher Level group in Year 13. It could also be used for a French SL able group or for differentiation purposes (see worksheet on 'si' clauses for Standard Level)

Ideal as a preparation for French B SL Paper 1 when covering the topic of health and smoking. It could also match the difficulty of Text A in an HL paper. The questions are modelled exactly on the comprehension questions in the exam. Can be used for a mock exam or an end of unit assignment. Can also be used in class.

Recap sheet on pronouns (pronoms conjoints et disjoints): le/le/les, lui/leur, a lui/a elle, y and en. 3 exercises to practise using the different pronouns.

This is a pair-work speaking activity to practise prepositions. One pupil has to describe his picture to his partner who draws the objects described in the right place. They then swap and check on each other's sheet at the end.

This booklet covers: - Parts of the body - Illnesses and injuries - Food and drinks - Healthy eating - Smoking and addictions - The partitive article - Past tense of reflexive verbs - The present participle/The gerund - The pronoun 'en' - The subjunctive in context - Modal verbs and modal expressions I have created this booklets for 3 of my year 10 students who are working at an advanced level. It covers advanced vocabulary and grammar and includes reading and writing exercises. It is designed so that students can work independently, with limited teacher support. It can also be used for IB/AS level or as cover work.

This is a series of activities to guide the reading of Le Petit Prince. Each worksheet goes in pairs: the students' sheet and the teacher's notes. The focus of these worksheets is to help students understand the book, but also to develop their vocabulary and ability to write creatively in French. There is some literary analysis of the text to give students the opportunity to transfer the skills developed in English. There are also a few grammar exercises, based on the text (irregular plural of nouns and adjectives, adjective agreements and pronouns). This represents 3 - 4 weeks worth of work with students. At the end, I chose to show them the animation movie which came out in July 2015. I created this resource for my Year 12 French B Higher Level group, but I have also used it (with modifications) with my Year 11 advanced IGCSE group.

This worksheet looks at 2 very different songs, both on the topic of Friendship: Les copains d'abord (Georges Brassens) and L'Itinéraire (Bénabar). It is an excellent opportunity to develop the use of French slang (argot) and colloquialism, while looking at two different approaches to the concept of friendship. The first song may require some level of explanation as there are many cultural references that can be quite obscure to students but it is an absolute classic. Originally created for my year 12 French B Standard and Higher Level class, but can be adapted to AS/A levels, possibly even advanced (I)GCSE. I have included a suggested markscheme for the questions at the end of the document.

This activity is based on an authentic French TV guide and contains 4 tasks aimed at developing students' vocabulary (types of TV programmes), practising the telling the time in French and checking understanding. The last task tests the students' thinking skills and logic in French. I have included corrections for each of the activities. I created this activity for my Year 12 ab initio when we covered the unit on leisure and pastimes, but it could easily be used with a GCSE group, or even KS3 with more able students.

I created this reading comprehension for my advanced IGCSE group when we covered the topic of school and daily routines. The text is authentic and the questions mirror the type of questions asked in a French B Paper 1, so this text can also be used for a French B/AS level group.
