Great resource, providing a template in the shape of a jigsaw piece for students to introduce themselves. Jigsaw pieces can be decorated as teacher sees fit (with photographs or coloured in for example) and displayed, or simply used as a worksheet. Students asked to complete sentences to provide basic information about themselves including their name, age, nationality, birthday, family, favourite colour and sport. Template can be amended as teacher wishes. Makes a brilliant display for the start of term, simple and very personal to students. Helps them to get to know each other too!

A bundle of five slides, linked to the Work and Education module of the GCSE course. The first slide is a poster of rules from a French school. Students are asked to translate as many as possible a given time limit. Challenge is to think of any others that are not mentioned that students would expect to see in their own school. Forms a good basis for cultural discussion (for example in terms of uniform or how rules are phrased). The second slide presents two tables (24 items of vocabulary), drawing links between rules and uniform. The conditional tense is introduced alongside negatives and could easily be extended to forming the conditional and other negative forms. The third slide introduces positive and negative opinions about uniform, asking students to translate and categorise those given before forming their own for a debate / discussion on the fourth slide. The fifth slide lists excuses regarding household chores, asking students to translate those given and think of their own.

A great lesson for KS2 and beginners at KS3 (year 7 / year 8). Differentiated with 'Challenge' option linked to gender of nouns and unusual body part vocabulary ('la queue'). Great fun to teach - cut-outs of rabbits can be used for a display or to make into French Easter cards.

The article compares festive traditions in Alsace/Lorraine and Provence. It has been very slightly adapted and is split into paragraphs for ease of reading and discussion.

Third and final exercise is six questions contrasting and comparing traditions in both regions, linking to culinary traditions, Père Fouettard / Père Noël and nativity scenes amongst others. Fully differentiated - two comprehensive vocabulary tables are provided to support learners who would benefit. A great lesson, genuinely interesting, and a fun way to include KS5 students in Christmas fun whilst still challenging their linguistic and cultural knowledge! I learned a few things making it!
