This is to help students to learn the good higher grages habits. the test sheet can be used as a starter activity, lesson by lesson, to support students in retaining and understanding how to extend and develop writing and speaking. The test sheet can also be used to help students adapt to their own sentences. My year 10s really found it useful, I hope you do too. !

For peer assessment and paired dictation to practise this tense and practise writing je vais + correct infinitives. Student A could read the entire script whilst B rewrite and retells from memory.

this is the presentation I used of a leadership qualification : I had organised an international day at my current school , involving y7-11. All is in the power point.

Please follow the link on youtube ( pink martini ou est ma tete official video ) Lovely song for the past tense, parts of the body and even the direct object pronoun. The cards are for pupils to show as they hear the matching idea in the song. I have now added the audio file, I hope it works

I found this which I created about 4 years ago ! Thought I'd share this as it brings good memories of my previous school, summer periods and welcoming the year 6 in our mFL department. Please amend for your own use and do what you want with it, I used a mini soft ball as well etc.. card sort etc.. I have added the story, apologies for leaving it late for those who asked, you can exploit this in many ways, listening for gist then reading for gist etc..

This reinforces the vocabulary and grammar on verbs in the past tense that take je suis/ on est . This is for a 7th Grade middle to high ability and the slide with guided writing has color-coding for verbs stated in the outcomes ( most = pink verbs, some pink and blue verbs )

Use of on peut + infinitive. with opportunities for extension, models and a sentence builder to get going as a class

This activity is designed to help students to develop their expertise in using the verbs to have and to be in French with correct forms, and to memorise and practise using correct pronouns for difficult reflexive verbs. the red is to support students to find the errors and the green indicates the subject so students can be encouraged to use these as a clue for both the verb formation and the gap fill for the work on reflexive verbs. There should be a fine balance between challenge and support for all abilities in this activity but feedback and comments are more than welcome.

Now this was the starting point of a new Scheme of learning introduced for the first term as a transition module. I will add the rest later as the edited version contains listening activities on food and recipes, and more on foods,, with some elements of grammar.

Lesson plan based around ideal vacations.

I am aware this may be challenging for KS3, however, used appropriately some parts of the book can be approached by top sets at this key stage.

Designed with grade improvement in mind, keeping engagement and motivation through a nice topic ( vacations) , this will also be used to develop confidence in speaking skills and in conjunction with mini whiteboards. I am now adding three differentiated controlled tasks
