This Who Wants To Be a Millionaire PowerPoint revises the Present, Perfect, Future and Conditional tenses. It can be used at the beginning of the year and throughout the year for revision. I give the students a mini whiteboard. The task is differentiated as follows: Tout le monde: Choisissez la bonne lettre. La majorité: Traduisez une autre phrase et identifiez le temps. Quelques personnes: Traduisez toutes les autres phrases et identifiez tous les temps. Enjoy!

I show the film with English subtitles.This differentiated worksheet is divided into extracts (timings shown). I translate the questions with the students, watch the extract and then check the answers. All sections have some Extra questions to stretch the more able students. Worksheet EXTRACTS: Les choristes.

These resources celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic games. They build student’s knowledge of sports vocabulary and adjectives using YouTube extracts, colourful slides, animations, matching cards, a video extract worksheet and finally a creative task to help the students express their Olympic/Paralympic passions! Slide 2 presents the differentiated lesson objectives. Slide 3 has the Olympic motto and some great black and white pictures of Olympian heroes. Slide 4 is the warmer task to name as many Olympic/Paralympic sports as possible from student’s previous knowledge and includes links to the Ensemble Campagne officielle du CIO in both French and English (1 min 30 secs each) to inspire the students. They may do this in teams, pairs or individually. The full list of Olympic and Paralympic events can be found on a PDF in these resources. Slides 5 to 43 build new Olympic/Paralympic sports vocabulary. Expressions presented: L’athlétisme L’aviron Le canoë-kayak Les sports équestres L’escrime L’haltérophilie La lutte Le plongeon La natation synchronisée Le tir Le tir à l'arc La voile Slide 5 invites the students to: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! *Here the students quiz each other, e.g French to English, English to French, spellings etc. of the new vocabulary. Slides 6 to 17 have 1 slide per expression and allow you to drill the new vocabulary. Then there is graded questioning. Slides 19 to 30 show the images and give the students a choice of two possible sports to choose from. Then slides 31 to 43 are what’s missing? slides. Slide 44 should be used in conjunction with the worksheet. Here the students tick the sports they see on the Paralympic trailer video (2 mins 48 secs) and includes an extension task for stronger students. The answers are on the first two pages of the worksheet PDF. The next slide should be used in conjunction with the English-French adjectives matching cards. Adjectives: travailleur/ euse, enthousiaste, paresseux/euse, nerveux/euse, concentré(e), assuré(e), détendu, ravi(e), fier/ fière, égoïste, têtu(e), lent(e), rapide, bavard(e), habile. Then complete the second half of the worksheet where students watch the official Rio 2016 trailer and tick the adjectives which reflect the emotions of the athletes and spectators as well as other adjectives to describe what they see. There is an extension task. Then the students have a choice of three creative tasks: to design and decorate in French an Olympic torch, a flag or to write a poem about their Olympian/Paralympic hero. Both PowerPoint slides have an accompanying worksheet including a suggested poem template. The final slide provides an opportunity for reflection.

I created this PowerPoint to share photos I had taken on a trip to Cuba and to revise the Preterite Tense. Phrases used: Fui de vacaciones a Cuba. Cuba es la isla más grande del Caribe. Pasé unos días en La Habana, la capital. Hay edificios antiguos, parques y monumentos. Lo qué más me gusté fueron los coches americanos de los años cincuenta. Hay música en todos partes. Músicos tocan salsa y están en todos los bares y restaurantes. Pasé un día en la playa. Hizo mucho calor, tomé el sol y descansé. También pasé unos días en el campo donde observé la naturaleza tropical. ¡Me encantó! I ran through the presentation giving time for the students to discuss the meaning and pronunciation in pairs before pouncing on them for their answers and drilling the class. Stronger students were also asked to discuss the formation of the preterite verb, including the infinitive it came from. The presentation could then be used a a template for the students to produce their own presentations about a Spanish-speaking country.

Astérix et la surprise de César. This differentiated worksheet has a range of activities. Run through the questions, play the clip and check the answers. Timings are on the sheet.

This 5 slide PowerPoint can be used to elicit the possessive pronouns. You need to print out the 3rd slide for the students to fill in.

Expressions: Vous avez… une chambre pour une personne une chambre double/ avec un grand lit une chambre avec lits jumeaux de libre, s’il vous plaît? Pour… une nuit. deux nuits. une semaine. une quinzaine de jours. Pour… une personne. deux personnes. deux adultes et deux enfants. Il y a…. WC une douche une salle de bains une télévision ...dans la chambre? Je voudrais aussi une chambre accessible aux handicapés. Je suis en fauteuil roulant. Il y a… un restaurant un ascenseur un parking une piscine ....à l’hôtel? The slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill.

Presentation: As the musical instruments are very straight forward and include many cognates, I have built in a range of tenses too. Expressions: Je joue de la guitarre. Je vais jouer de la flûte. J’ai joué de la batterie. Il joue du piano. Je voudrais jouer du clavier. Nous jouons du violon. Je ne joue pas d’instrument. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other (QFQs = Quick Fire Questions) before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next slide can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Finally there is a Qu’est-ce que c’est? slide. Battleships. Expressions: Je joue de la guitare Il joue de la flûte Je vais jouer de la batterie J’ai joué du piano Nous avons joué du clavier de temps en temps. souvent. tous les jours. une fois par semaine. deux fois par jour. trois fois par mois. Battleships Game Instructions Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss pronunciation. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation.

As there are many cognates and this is aimed at slightly older students I have included a range of tenses. Expressions taught: Je voudrais voir un dessin animé. Je ne regarde jamais les jeux. Mon frère préfère les émissions sportives. Quand j’avais onze ans j’aimais les émissions pour la jeunesse. La météo ne m’intéresse pas. Les informations sont ennuyeuses. Hier soir j’ai vu un documentaire. Avant de faire mes devoirs j’ai vu un film. Je vais regarder un feuilleton. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. it is differentiated as follows: All: Pick out and translate the TV programmes. Then translate the full sentences. Most: Identify the tenses. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: QFQs! (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions - the students quiz each other on the new phrases). The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there is a "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slide. This final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
