French:  General activity on relative pronouns 'lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles'
KRIS240680KRIS240680

French: General activity on relative pronouns 'lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles'

(0)
Relative pronouns using 'lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles' is a highly tricky concept and requires much greater understanding, however I have designed this activity to facilitate this and there is a quiz which follows. Upon completing the 5-step method, you will have developed a much more proficient understanding of it all. This concept is briefly mentioned at IGCSE level, but used more profoundly at AS and A2 level French. There is also a wordsearch which revises previously learnt relative pronouns which can be used a warmer activity before the main stage of the lesson begins. Happy teaching and learning!

French: Blockbusters - IGCSE Grammar

French: Blockbusters - IGCSE Grammar

(0)
This game is an excellent way of revising grammar and it is specifically tailored at IGCSE level, however it can also be used to revise grammar at A-Level also. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this game, basically the class is divided into two teams. If a team gets a question right (on whatever topic) they place their coloured hexagon over the topic and they can pick another question. If they get a question wrong, the other team will have a chance to answer. The first team to get their coloured hexagons in a line either horizontally or diagonally, wins the game! This pack contains the game board and questions from each topic! Keep an eye out for my resources as I will be soon publishing more differentiated questions for students of a stronger ability!
