I've been teaching since 1992 and I know that what teachers need most are cover resources. Mostly I create 'print and go' cover lessons - standalone meaningful work to keep a class working when their teacher is busy with other things (or ill)

This lesson is for Year 9 / Year 10 - it is a differentiated paired translation activity. Students should be grouped in similar ability pairs - they have one sheet between 2 - student 1 is the more confident / higher achieving student of the pair. They then work together taking it in turns to write the translation while the other student checks, encourages and thinks aloud all the possible pitfalls of the sentence. The idea is that the students are verbalising their thought processes and working together rather than working individually and not discussing. The Second part of the activity is called Quiz Quiz trade me - students from the same ability group - I have roughly 10 in each group then pick up card same colour as work sheet and then ask someone else who has the same colour how to say in French something from the translation they have worked on. They question each other and then swap cards and find someone else to ask. Ability groups Blue / Green / Yellow - Let me know how it goes!
A resource to support students in forming the Perfect Tense in French.
I have purposely not translated etre in the 'upstairs&' section as this only causes issues in my experience.
Let me know what you think
Photocopy onto card for a pair to work with. Good idea to use different coloured card so you can sort sets easily if necessary.
Students work in pairs - mini flashcard games
Longest sentence
