French GCSE AQA Vocabulary Booklet - 9 - 1 Specifications.

(0)
An essential for all GCSE students. This is a 29 page document which contains AQA French GCSE vocabulary. I strongly believe that all Yr10 and 11 students should have GCSE vocabulary from the beginning of their course. The vocabulary is categorised in to sections – including themes and topics within themes. It is easy to use these sections or even break down the sections to set regular vocabulary learning homework. This ensures that over the two-year GCSE course, students have been exposed to all essential vocabulary. This document is in a printable friendly format for students or can be stored as a computer document for them. The vocabulary comes from the AQA specifications, but contains some extras, particularly in the topics of: technology, social issues and global issues.

French GCSE (9 - 1) Essential Revision Vocabulary

(0)
This is a PowerPoint of over 650 words, essential vocabulary for GCSE. There are 64 slides of vocabulary and 12 words/phrases per slide. Each word/phrase comes on to the screen one at a time and all vocabulary is in French only. The vocabulary in quite a random order, as it would be to pupils when they hear or read texts in the listening and/or reading exams. It is really useful to recap what vocabulary they know, and then get pupils to record vocabulary that is new to them. You can then go back next lesson to those slides to confirm what they have retained. It can also be use in a competitive way, in teams to see which team knows the most vocabulary. However you use it, it covers a very wide range of essential vocabulary, a key to successful revision at GCSE level.

French Grammar Sorting Challenge.

French Grammar Sorting Challenge.

(1)
This grammar sorting challenge is a whole class team game to revise and/ or check pupils’ understanding of grammatical terms. In teams pupils are given a large set of French words and each term must work together to attach each of their words to one of the 8 posters that are stuck up around the classroom with the following headings: Conjugated Verbs, Infinitives, Nouns, Subject Pronouns, Articles, Adjectives, Connectives and Time Phrases. Only one team member is allowed to be out of their seat at any one time. There is a PowerPoint slide to show the challenge on the board and it has a sound document attached - this is a timed challenge and pupils have only the length of the song to complete the challenge. At the end, teams are scored by the correct number of words they have under the appropriate grammatical headings. Each team has their words in a different colour font and therefore you can easily identify to which team the words belong. I have also included a further explanation document with this resource. Ideal to use after the PowerPoint ‘Understanding Grammatical Terms for French Learners.
