This unit of work was delivered to Year 6 students in a primary school during one whole day of Geography in French. It was designed as a transition unit to show students what learning Geography in French would be like when they started secondary school. Students really loved it and said that they had learnt more French in one day than they had learnt all year during their primary French lessons. The materials are also suitable for Year 7 students . Please read the copyright master document before use . particularly the section on the hydrological cycle . The lesson starts with a video clip with a card sort, then students study the hydrological cycle using a powerpoint and a further card sort. They then are introduced to more complex hydrological terms and build a model of the cycle. I used pet food boxes , but show boxes are also good to make models in. Then the students look at the differences between urban and rural areas and how that impacts the hydrological cycle ie they are applying their knowledge to a different situation and there is a support sheet using the near future which predicts what happens in each location. Finally they choose to be a simpson’s character who explains the cycle to an audience. There is a writing/speaking frame which will support their explanations. A challenging unit but very accessible for Year 6 students.

This lesson encourages students to devise a tour of Paris. They use online resources in French to collate information about the attractions and decide which attractions they are going to use for their tour. They then present their tours to visitors to their travel agency .
