Here are six planning sheets to get students to speak more spontaneously at foundation level so that they are not writing full sentences in the prep time on their CN2 form. Topics covered are: -part-time jobs -future job -when you have recently used a language -living and working abroad-an opinion -what you did at work recently -opinion on apprenticeship or university -a recent school trip -opinions on school subjects and sports at school -a school trip you would like to go on -a lesson that you have done recently -a sporting activity that you have done recently How I use this resource. I give students time to translate the bullet points and to write key words in each square. I give them key vocab to reinforce what they constantly forget or find hard. I would then read a question that matches the bullet point (I usually would make these up). I would then ask a student to give their answer. If the answer is good then on the smart board I write their name in the box. So if they answer describe the photo covering all parts of palms then their name goes in the first box. On each box to get their name in a box they must cover all of the prompts. I keep doing this repeatedly for about five minutes. Once all of the boxes have a name in then students can knock a student out of a box and replace it with their name. At the end of the five minutes all students with their name in the box get a house point.

Jean Pierre Bond et la Francophonie - Le Monde ne suffit pas!

(0)
Jean Pierre Bond must save the day again! The Bond criminals are plotting to steal the Mona Lisa! The criminals live in the French speaking world. Jean Pierre Bond must find them and work with other secret agents to stop them. Lesson 1 language - Naming French speaking countries Lesson 1 culture- Where are these countries? what are they like ? Lesson 2 language - types of houses and rooms in a house - designing a safe house. Lesson 2 culture -Flags of the French speaking countries and les Jeux de la Francophonie. Lesson 3 language - Preparing for an assessment on everything learnt so far. Lesson 3 Culture - the SOE and links to BOND - pictures have been removed but i have referenced the sources. This is a project that I made some years ago around 2009 to motivate boys especially to enjoy French more. I updated it last year and included some cultural based lessons too as there were many non specialists that taught French in my department last year. Please note that on the map reading task in week 2 I have left the information but deleted the maps. The lessons are based around teaching - countries and where I live, types of houses and rooms in the house. I am currently updating the second part of the lessons that include time, numbers and activities such as watching TV. These will be available soon.
