Something I did during an "enterprise" day. Pupils advertise a product in French. You could show some ads in French first (vet them before you do!!). I've deliberately chosen the (silly!) products as they'll take ages to choose their own if not! If you can't film the ads, just "perform" them for the class. Make sure they all have a grid to fill in as they watch so they're not just sitting around!
End of year review: Spanish.

Looking for GCSE French jobs consolidation? This is a great work booklet to develop listening, reading and writing. Tasks include picture and word matching vocabulary presentation, puzzles, reading comprehensions, scaffolded writing, a couple of listening activities and independent writing tasks with cues.
If you have introduced GCSE learners to the French jobs topic, this is the ideal resource for you. You can use it to consolidate prior learning. If you haven’t taught the topic, use this resource for them to work out or deduce the vocabulary themselves.
Although prior knowledge is assumed, a long bilingual vocabulary list is included to help. Some research on vocabulary and structures might be needed, depending on the ability of your learners.
Ideal for
Distance learning. Open in edit mode and click in the text areas to answer. The background won’t move
Consolidation of the French topic the world of work
Independent learning
Helping with listening skills: 3 pages include listening tasks
The answer pages are given after the main work booklet and therefore may be printed separately or given when needed, rather than in one go to learners. Sample answers are given for writing tasks since, as I’m sure you will understand, responses can vary considerably.
Other uses for the booklet include using the sheets separately for starter tasks or cover lessons, even homework.
Tasks include:
reading comprehensions
scaffolded writing
gap-fills
listening
independent writing task with cues
puzzles*
For examples of vocabulary covered, see the end of the listing.
