Full worksheet for lesson included. Presentation as follows: Slides 1 and 2 - Date, title and LO. Emphasis on independent learning with learners matching French vocabulary (la boue, le froid, la guerre etc.) to English translations. Remove English to increase challenge for students. Slides 3 and 4 - Learners recall new vocabulary from memory and match to images. Slides 5 - 11 - AfL game using letters to select correct image. Slides 12 - 13 - Text linked to Le Jour de l'Armistice, drawing on cultural comparisons such as 'Le Bluet de France' et 'La Tombe du Soldat Inconnu'. Word Bank to support learners. Slide 13 - Questions linked to text and answers. Opportunity to extend learners with 'ceux' and 'celles' demonstrative pronouns. Slide 14 - Plenary triangle, asking learners to share with their partner one thing that they already knew linked to the lesson, two things that they've learned and one thing that they would like to know more about. Great lesson to teach and a huge time saver! Excellent cross-curricular links.

Excellent first lesson of the year, comprehensively covering slide-by-slide all that you need your new class to know in an accessible and fun way. Helps you to get to know your students, and helps them to get to know each-other too, setting them up for some great learning. Also gets you off to a brilliant start with your expectations through a whole-class ‘Partnership Agreement’ that they create and sign. I use this template every year with every class that I teach and it always works brilliantly. They have a lot of fun, as do you, and you also get all of the bits sorted that you need to without missing anything out (an overview of the year, books, seating plan etc.) which is easily done at the start of a busy term. Recommended especially for new teachers. Clear instructions on each slide and places for you to insert your own information. 15 slides in total: 1. Resources you need for the lesson. 2. Space to insert your seating plan. 3. Date, title, LO, starter slide. 4. Our Partnership Agreement slide. 5. Expectations / building on slide before. 6. Exercise book slide. 7. Getting to know each other - The two truths game. 8. As above - teacher’s answers. 9. My promise to you (what you will do as a teacher to help their learning). 10. Raffle tickets and how they work, if you decide to use to reinforce positive behaviour. 11. Our lessons - overview of the number of lessons each week, report and Parents’ Evening dates and topics. 12. Help me to understand your learning activity. 13. Examples of feedback from activity above. 14. As before. 15. Bingo game!

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!
