The French book basics contains verbs, time frames, opinions, conjunctions, adjectives and numbers on. This is stuck in the front of each pupil’s exercise book and encourages them to be resourceful. The register routine encourages spontaneous speech at the beginning of each lesson rather than just answering the register with “bonjour,” the pupils are provided with more structures and support how best to answer how they are feeling. This has worked really well encouraging more spontaneous speech in the speaking exam, so I use it from the very start in Year 7.

If you’re happy with these resources, you can always buy me a coffee to say thanks: https://buymeacoffee.com/MrBCurrier These displays are on a grammar timeline in my classroom for the pupils to refer to the conjugations of regular verbs and key irregular verbs. Infinitives are referred to as “Magical Kingdoms” as they are all ruling and this is something that has helped our pupils remember verb infinitives. I have covered the main tenses that are needed for the GCSE and cover the subjunctive as a special tense in-class.

I have to thank Anne Liese for her support to adapt the Edexcel plans to the AQA specification. Thank you so much! Tiering A booklet has been created for both Foundation and Higher tier as there are some elements not assessed in both exams. Foundation booklet In the Foundation booklet, I have reminded the pupils of the ‘I can’ statements for their four parts to their writing exam; photo card, 40 words, 90 words and five sentence translation. For each part of these, pupils have their assessment grids with WAGOLL examples and space for them to prepare their own responses. Also, I have chosen different topics for pupils to plan writing questions on. Higher booklet In the Higher booklet, again, I have provided the pupils with their ‘I can’ statements for their three parts; 90 words, 150 words and paragraph translation. Similarly to the Foundation booklet, pupil have their assessment grids with WAGOLL examples and space for them to prepare their own responses. Writing planning The acronyms P.P.OF and J.O.E are key to our writing planning and they are explained below. P.P.O.F Past Present Opinion and Future is one acronym all our pupils in Languages are used to as we encourage all written and spoken communication to contain the four parts. These are also the fundamental four parts that are included in the 90 and 150 words writing tasks. For each part of P.P.O.F I have provided the most essential parts to them and also given pupils a blank version for them to jot anything down to help them remember and add in their own individuality. J.O.E Remember to Justify your Opinion with an Example. There is always a need for pupils to elaborate their opinions and we encourage them to use J.O.E. This is very important for the 150 words writing task as pupils need to justify their ideas and opinions.

The knowledge booklet I am pleased to say and share with the languages’ community three knowledge booklets; one for each topic and one for the grammar and tenses. Each booklet starts with all ‘I can’ statements that I feel cover all the areas under the GCSE AQA French specification. There then are four columns for the pupils to use as a RAG rating. This will hopefully help guide their revision a lot easier than before and they will be able to see the statements they may need to refer to and do some extra work about. For each statement, either half a page or a whole page has been created with essential vocabulary and structures for the pupils to refer to and know what they are expected to use. To link with dual coding, I have used Noun Project https://thenounproject.com/ to find simple images that mirror the vocabulary in-hand.
