Some (not too controversial) questions I have typed up to make discussion cards for my form for the Jubilee.
I’m hoping to have a bit of cake and a chat. I thought we could sit in small groups, I’ll put a set of cards for each group in an envelope, it will start a discussion. My form are year 12 if that helps.
My year 11 love Bigflo et Oli since we did the song Plus Tard and often ask for it.
I made this for their song: Dommage
First sheet is a gapfill
Second sheet is a translation with some words in bold - the idea is the students ocmpare the two versions and underline the same words on the French version
Reinforcement activities for teaching greetings - a sheet where you provide the listening activity by reading out words for the students to highlight which they heard, or shade the correct boxes.
A sentence builder to make their own classroom requests
Introduction of Les Restos du Coeur and their work to year 13. Brief explanation in English. The Restos du Coeur song linked in with a brief listening exercise. Finally a couple of exercises based on the new campaign for Winter 2014. Students watch the video and answer in French, then a gapfill. Could be homework. It took my students about 50 minutes in a computer room - they could control the video themsleves. Answer sheet given.
English sentences about food and diet. Students translate orally into Target Language. They start off simple and build. Can be used for around the class, pair or group work.
I usually do this as pair or small group work. First student says sentence 1, second student sentence 2 and carry on taking turns.
I use the same sentences several times, the students get quicker and better. Could be a main activity in one lesson and a quick starter the next.
While I aim this at GCSE students could make a nice sixthform starter or a challenge for good younger students.
2 versions, one with more challenge.
English sentences about family. Students translate orally into Target Language. They start off simple and build. Can be used for around the class, pair or group work.
I usually do this as pair or small group work. First student says sentence 1, second student sentence 2 and carry on taking turns. Can be given to FLA.

Mark out of 10
2 versions on the sheet. This is my way of discouraging cheating. I give the tests out alternately so the people sat next to each other have the questions in a different order. I don’t tell students this, I just do it. I collect for marking.
Basic vocab filler and sentence builder on doing activities. Activities in the infinitive made into a sentence with a modal verb. Days of the week.
Intended for use with a low ability class as an independent task.
Very easy and repetitive verb sheet. To follow the first time I introduce the verb hablar or the concept of verb endings to a low ability Spanish class.
It’s the verb written out and then they have to fill it in several different ways.
Sentence builder on opinions about living in the town versus country.
Aimed at helping students express an opinion on whether living in the Town or Country is better. Guided sentences then a chance to give their own opinion.
As my hallowe’en / end of half term activity this year we will be watching the trailer for the new Disney film Encanto due out very soon, doing observation questions, a gapfill and picking out vocab.
Enjoy!
I have been running a French reading club inspired by this blog https://whoteacheslanguages.blogspot.com/
We are reading the novel La Rivière à l’Envers
Some weeks we just read, some weeks we use the BD, some weeks we listen to Audible
Some weeks we skip a bit
Some weeks I have made support materials. I will add them here as I go along. Please use if you wish

A table of the topics covered since the current GCSE started.
I made it to see if I could predict the writing questions for this year’s exam.
You might like to also see if you can work out what the students will be asked!
