Powerpoint for presenting classroom objects vocab and worksheet with pictures for pupils to match up with vocab. \nIncludes speaking activities for groups of 4, and for whole class.

Lessons focusing on the different types of Crossover questions (those which appear on both Foundation and Higher papers).There are several key question types which appear each year and try to trick candidates using tenses, negatives, 3rd person etc., as red herrings.These lessons aim to alert pupils to these pitfalls by practising past questions so they can avoid being caught out in their exam.Uses 2010-2013 as we used 2014 for a mock recently. Also included is a "walking talking mock" where pupils had just done the 2014 Higher paper and we went through the whole paper question by question to mark their own and understand mistakes.All exam questions are property of Edexcel. Numbers refer to the time on the recording which you can get from the Edexcel website.

2 resources for studying the film Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopatre with a mixed ability Y9 group. Nothing too heavy going as it's an end of term treat after working really hard with lots of grammar for the past few months. 1st lesson = introduction. What is Astérix? What are bande dessinée? Pupils research online to complete worksheet. Then watch trailer. 2nd lesson = character info match-up starter, then watching the film for a good chunk of the lesson, then true or false quiz.

For a very low ability FCSE French group, but would be suitable for lower year groups. \nWould be good for cover.\n\nMatch up key vocab.\nSimple reading task (checking understanding of il y a and il n'y a pas de).\nMatching places to activities with 'on peut'.\n\nFont size is massive so you can print 2 sheets per page.

Leisure activities Household chores (used at start of a lesson on inviting people out and giving excuses, hence the chores)

A few lessons from the start of a GCSE topic on holidays. \n\nReading and listening references are to the Edexcel Higher textbook. \n\nIncludes:\n-describing places\n-types of accommodation\n-activities\n-opinions in different tenses

Reading tasks with grid to complete - the one in 2 tenses was aimed at a bottom set Y9 class and the one in 3 tenses was aimed at a middle/high set. But I'm planning to use the 2 tense one with Year 8s too. More or less the same task, so could be given out in the same class for differentiation.

A5 numbers (2 per page) as Powerpoint slides. \nIn French and Spanish for classroom display (eg: as a border around the classroom)

Reading task - problem solving. \n\n-Present food groups.\n-Categorise vocab into 6 groups.\n-Reading - guess the food item from description, then write own version for the class to guess.

Knowledge Organisers for Year 7 French. Excel spreadsheets to print A5 size and stick in pupils books at the start of each topic, or you could print them all in a booklet. Can easily be used as sentence builders for speaking/writing, with students gradually reducing reliance on them towards assessments. Also ideal for homework - setting roughly half a column per week for vocab tests. Covering: Classroom language (1-week mini unit) School (subjects, opinions, teachers, uniform, rules) Self, family and pets (productive and receptive) House and home (productive and receptive) Leisure activities Les destinations touristiques Quality opinions for all year groups up to Grade 5 (transferable language).

6-8 week module based on Expo 2, Module 1. Aimed at Year 8, Set 3 of 4. Includes a lot of revision from Year 7 (family, where you live, present tense) plus jobs and the weather. Unfortunately lessons 5 and 6 are missing due to memory stick issues.A few slides may have been taken from other TES resources.

Resources to accompany the film "Tomboy" (2011) for able Y9 pupils.Main focus is describing characters in 3rd person but some general reading comprehension (true or false about the story) and work on how characters feel, plus predictions for what will/should happen next. Lots of opportunities for discussion in English - SMSC. 19/04/15 - Added final 2 lessons (1 matching quotations to characters, watching and discussing ending, 1 writing a comparison of 2 main characters).

A few lessons' worth of work on family members, hair and eye descriptions.

Covers similar ground but more quickly for Rouge (they have fewer lessons) and with tenses. \n\nReferences to reading tasks may be other files I have uploaded here. \n\nI have taken a few slides (mostly typed up textbook resources) from other resources found on TES so thanks if that was you!

Goes with Mira 1, Module 2 (refers to listening exercises from the textbook, but there's plenty of useful stuff on the slides if you don&'t have access to this).\n\nMy class are Y9 beginners Spanish, but this would be equally suitable for Y7.\n\nLesson 1 - using cognates to work out school subjects, listening, writing about what subjects you study/don&';t study.\n\nLesson 2 - vocab recap pic reveal, days of the week, reading.\n\nLesson 3 - gender, listening, adjectives, using dictionary, opinion phrases.
