Hi there. Great idea which I've used for the last lesson this term (remote learning) for Y10 so thank you very much. One question - a student has emailed in and I can't get to work either: in La porte (the key symbol at the top), the date format 02/01/1761 will not work and is coming up red as an error message. Could you let me know what this is because the poor student is frantically trying to get to the end! Many thanks!
Fantastic activity, but we got stuck on the Moulin Rouge question - the form doesn't accept "mill", but asks for 8 letters. Can you advise? Merci!
Looks as if it will be brillian and I hope to use this on Monday but the Google Form will not work so cannot move from 1510 to next question. Google form message says: 'This form was created outside of your domain' - when I click on the hazard icon, it comes up with their nudity policy - although there is none! Any suggestions?
I am going to do this activity this Tuesday: but the spinning wheel code doesn't seem to work: it says 34020 but it's not working . Help!
This is genius! Such a cleverly put-together activity - thank you! A couple of tweaks needed however: Chemistry = chimie, Flowers = fleurs and the link after the métro station doesn't seem to work. None of this impaired our enjoyment but thought you might want to know.
