Future Tense, aller plus infinitive

(37)
The PowerPoint was adapted from a fantastic Spanish resource and can now be used for teaching the future tense in French. It contains the full paradigm of the verb “aller” to start off and then offers multiple examples of phrases to talk about future activities. It contains the board-slapping game (a game of comprehension and physical reaction), memory challenge (my students call it “supermarket”), a paired guessing game involving questions about what the other person is going to do at the weekend, a Mexican wave activity (students say what they are doing at the weekend, ask the person next to them who then answers etc) and a game to guess what the teacher is going to do at the weekend. All of these activities can be tied up in a competitively scored game between teams in the class to encourage spontaneous speech. The presentation is to be used in conjunction with the attached worksheet.

1. The PowerPoint introduces the phrases for choral repetition using je vais and je ne vais pas plus the infinitive of the verb. There are work out the missing image questions, flying images and slow reveal images to keep students on their toes. There is also an idea to get students using the phrases in spoken French. 2. The Notebook file was designed to show students the images they know and have seen and the words to create similar phrases in a jumbled up format. The idea is that students write down the phrases on the worksheet (third resource) and the fastest student who gets it right comes up to the board and rearranges it for the rest of the class. 3. This is the worksheet on which students write the phrases down. 4. The running dictation is intended for students who prefer more active exercises to practise the language. Students combine reading, memory, speaking and writing skills as they work in teams to transfer the text from one side of the classroom to the other using on their brains to do this. With the emphasis for winning points being on accuracy as well, it encourages students to think about attention to detail.

This suite of resources were designed to teach set imperfect tense phrases in French to allow students to talk about what they used to do at primary school and offer opinions. There is a whiteboard resource to teach the language. There is also a battleships grid encouraging students to give phrases, use connectors and offer positive and negative opinions (explanation in the whiteboard resource if unclear). The dominoes are deisgned to offer an alternative resource for students to play games using the language, requiring them to identify the meanings of the phrases as well as the differences between positive and negative opinions. In addition, there is a writing frame and a grid for completing class surveys. Students compile sentences about what subjects they were good and weak at whilst at primary school and then share these results with their classmates in a speaking activity. Finally, there is a word search and cross-word as an additional resource that is useful for starters / plenaries. The competitive aspect of the games works well with some of these activities.
