Key Stage 3 French: Questions using 'est-ce que' and question words

This resource explicitly looks at how to form questions using ‘est-ce que’ and how to incorporate question words into a question in the context of ‘manger’ (to eat).

Firstly, do a re-cap of the use of ‘tu’ or ‘vous’ by playing a quiz with the students as forming questions follows on from this.

After the quiz, get students to read the each question (you can get them to repeat after you if they have difficulty in pronouncing the words). Ask the class then to raise their hand if they think the correct answer is either ‘A’ or ‘B’. Ask them why they think or what tells them that that is the correct answer.

Play the dice game after the presentation and then get the students to then copy down the vocabulary on slide 51 if you wish or you can hand out the poster on the use of ‘est-ce que’ and question words’. They then can complete the follow-up activities tailored to their level. I would recommend the gifted and talented students to complete activity 4 and the much less able students to complete activity 1.

Happy teaching and learning!
