Describe colours in French - early Y7 or perfect for Y6 Induction day Various activities: repetition, mixing colours, I spy, say the colour you see not read, colour by numbers. I would also normally have the linguascope worksheet but I cannot include that slide because of copyright. Should last an hour.

A lesson with powerpoint and worksheet to teach various members of the family, how to say "my" and "s/he is called"

KS3 presentation aimed at Y8 students to describe and explain whether they think they have an active lifestyle. The presentation uses basic activities with je joue/je fais then helps the students improve their writing by adding frequencies, negative structures (ne…pas/jamais) and opinion infinitive phrases. Finally we look at 2 sample answers (active and not active lifestyles) where a typical basic answer has been improved. We discuss these improvements (underlined in texts) and students can then write their own answers. First slide is hidden and would be printed as a handout.

Powerpoint teaching students to understand and build up a conversation at the doctor. Starter: X/O on pains and ailments. Main: Using a conversation as an example, focus on the different parts adding vocab/grammar (pouvoir, depuis, passé compose, il faut). Parts of the conversation then disappear to give place to generic instructions for students to adapt for their own role play (I use finger/hand puppets). I don't make students write anything, just give them a copy of the important slides on one handout so they spend less time copying and more time using/manipulating the language

A first (revision) lesson on building an account of a past holiday. Revises: past tense of key verbs, key vocabulary (weather, destinations, transports, who with? duration, accommodation) using thinking skills activities. It usually comes up in Y10 but I used it with a top set Y9. Enjoy ;)

I have tried numerous ways of explaining the past tense and there are some great resources on the TES for tutorials and activities. However I could not find an easy to follow handout covering everything there is to know about the passé composé, that was straight forward and fitted on 2 pages (either for double sided copies or 2 A5 on an A4 landscape way). Anyway, I ended up making my own and I hope you find it useful too ☺ I usually do whole class examples and later use mini whiteboards for individual practice.

Sentence builders and Conti style activities covering J’ai / je n’ai pas de (demi) frere(s) / (demi) soeur(s) je suis fils/fille unique mon / ma / mes s’appelle / s’appellent il / elle a + age Hidden slides at the beginning are handouts

Super simple powerpoint teaching the 12 hour clock in French step by step. O’clock first then minutes past then minutes to. True/false and fill the gaps activities to consolidate. Accompanying worksheet for students to take notes. Sets of worksheets for practice (one being at the end of the powerpoint). This has helped many of my students to also read an analogue clock! NB: VI N24 means the work waqs modified for out visually impaired students in Arial font 24 bold. Please review/comment if it helped you :)

A whole lesson (or 2) literally drilling the differences in patterns for key hobbies verbs ans some irregular verbs in the infinitive, present, perfect and near future. A lot of repetition involved at the beginning which can seem quite daunting/boring but I explain to my students that you don't remember something after having it seen/heard/said it just once and they get on board with the experiment. Instructions for each activity are in the notes section on the slides. The word document has to be printed on coloured paper/card (purple for infinitive, red/pink for present, blue for perfect and green for near future). They then need to be sliced and each student should have one of each tense/colour that they can then put up/show in relevant activity/ies.

Several lessons worth. Powerpoint with a topic that would combine a lot of what students would have covered with Theme 1 of GCSE French (AQA) such as reflexives, pouvoir/devoir, imperfect, time. Focused on daily routine, comparing them on a school day, weekend and lockdown. Hidden slides at the beginning are for handouts to be printed if necessary. Notes provided at the bottom of slides explaining the activities. Please rate/leave a comment if you like it; thank you!
