This is one in a series of booklets which can be used by the teacher or a substitute teacher. Each booklet starts with a list of the vocabulary necessary to complete the booklet. Each booklet offers a variety of activities. Pupils can work through at their own pace. The activities will help the pupils to learn the vocabulary of that topic. I have made these booklets to leave for classes I have to miss due to meetings, illness etc. I have also used them myself when I just need a class to get on with something. Substitute teachers, even non-linguists, have reported back to me that the booklets work very well. If a pupil gets stuck the teacher can always find the answer in the booklet.

This file contains over 100 photos I have taken in France. It includes photos of food, Paris, Boulogne, Dijon, Strasbourg shops and signs.

There is a word document in the zip file with a list of all the photos.

This is a power point I use to revise phrases of likes and dislikes of activities. It also revises opinions. The phrase in English appears first and the answer on the next click. This gives the pupils the opportunity to give you the answer orally or it can be written down and pupils can check their own answers on the next click. For example the first slide is -to go to the beach- Pupils say or write down -aller à la plage- You can then reveal the answer with the correct spelling. Pupils then get the prompt -I like going to the beach- They say or write -J'aime aller à la plage- So they are building a sentence using the previous phrase. 20 pages in total (including opinions)

This battleships can be used to practise items which have been lost:  mon porte-monnaie  mon sac à main  mon portable  ma montre It also practises places where you may have lost an item:  dans la rue  à la plage  dans un restaurant  dans le train  dans l’autobus These two can then be put together to make sentences such as: J’ai perdu mon sac à main dans le train J’ai perdu ma montre dans le restaurant J’ai perdu mon porte-monnaie dans la rue

I use battleships for a variety of activities: 1. As a whole class activity to encourage speaking skills. To do this I project the grid on to the board in Smart Notebook. I choose five squares secretly and pupils have to try to guess which they are using target language only. When a square is guessed correctly I write the name of the person who guessed it in the square. When a square is guessed incorrectly I put a cross in that square. The five winners usually get a small reward. 2. For pair work to encourage speaking skills. I print copies of the grid, usually two to a page to save printing costs. Pupils play in pairs, each choosing five squares and taking it in turns to guess the others squares. The winner is the one who guesses all 5 chosen squares. 3. I use the small printed grids for listening practice exercises. On my own sheet I number squares 1-10. I then read out the sentences which lead to each of those squares and pupils have to write the numbers 1-10 in the correct boxes. I then display the answers on the grid on the board. Pupils can mark each other’s or their own
