Happy teaching!
Originally a simple booklet made for Year 7 trip to Paris. Could also be used for Paris projects where, perhaps, Parisian landmarks are researched or creative writing is done. Booklet is A4 but designed to be reduced to A5 by your clever repro' bod.
An aide-mémoire! Lists of food and drink to use with any year or ability. Plenty of space to add more vocab’ as pupils come across it. Print double-sided to make a booklet. NOTE: my PC has corrected the French “vanille” to the English, “vanilla”. Can’t yet find a way to change it back: please get your students to correct it! I might do this by asking them to find the deliberate mistake… :)
A generic worksheet with boxes to fill in when pupils are watching a film. It’s generic so should go with any film! There are French and Spanish versions. Haven’t updated my cover image yet, apologies.
Find: colours/words you know/words you heard but would like to understand/cognates/opinions etc. and a handy section to fill in how far into the film you’ve got so you can pick up next lesson.
Blank jigsaw pieces to complete with written personal information. If cut out, the pieces should tessellate if turned around. Could make an effective activity for lower ability groups...
Christmas word search in Spanish. Translate the vocabulary into English.

A useful classroom wall display in French. WYSIWYG! Print in colour on A4 and cut to the shapes. Organise the words under the correct word type heading and use the images to help understanding. They can then be used during lessons by students and you as the teacher can draw your attention to them to show how to improve speaking and writing skills.
French Personal Information ID Cards
An engaging, fun 60 page resource (including cover pages, TOU and instructions)
lots of activity pages for your learners which you can assign carefully according to ability, based on reading and writing skills
Each page has jolly Christmas characters. We use their ‘cartes d’identité’ to discover lots about them and then use it as a basis for 1st person and/or 3rd person writing using personal information.
Vocabulary is based on simple personal information but learners may need a little research on some items (e.g. beignets)
Language covered:
first name/last name/birthday (number/month)/where they live/siblings/pets/likes and dislikes
This Distance Learning Pack can be used from home but equally would work well as printables for consolidation or revision of personal information. It could be used for cover lessons if you as the class teacher have already covered the basics. Alternatively, you as the teacher could print or assign sheets as bell tasks or homework.
Answers are included
The first 6 cards are in colour, then they are repeated in black and white. There are also A5 versions. You could print and laminate the A5 ones and use them as permanent resources and perhaps use them in conjunction with the question sheets.
Further development: Once learners have filled in their own carte d’identité they could use 3rd person to write about a classmate.

the answers are provided or model answers where appropriate
