This PPT introduces pupils to 8 different famous French people in history. Each person has a short text to describe them and pupils work together to translate each text. Pupils then use the attached cards to match the pictures to their descriptions. The attached worksheet is designed for pupils to write short paragraphs in French about the people studied. A quiz PPT has now been added for post-lesson revision.

The text is on the topic of smoking and is aimed at KS4. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text.

In pairs, one pupil notes down (in secret) which of each two options they will choose. The second pupil begins reading and chooses an option. If they’ve chosen correctly, they continue. If they are wrong, they must start from the beginning, remembering which of the options were correct. Prepare for a lot of laughter!

Finally, use the Follemathiques activity to add a competitive edge to the lesson.

New addition - noughts and crosses to practise the new vocab!

Clues could be, “this noun is masculine”, “this phrase is in the perfect tense”, etc.
