French Stories – to read and create.

This is a set of resources to introduce and practise reading and writing in French. The first PowerPoint is a very basic story about a day out in the zoo (Une Journée au Zoo) and there are different activities to do, related to the story. The second PowerPoint is the story of the Three Little Pigs (Les Trois Petits Cochons) and there are again activities to complete about the story. The third PowerPoint is to get pupils to write their own stories in French (or use well-known stories). Pupils are to make short story books in groups (or individually). They should decide the age they are aiming their storybook at and write and illustrate a story. I have used card with my groups to make their books and I have a lovely set of storybooks! Pupils can also make a set of short activities to go with the book they have created, based on the type of activities in Power Points 1 and 2. These can then be used with classes in lower groups to read and complete the activities. It can be a really fun activity and pupils really enjoy doing it. This is ideal for pupils in years 8 or 9, prior to starting their GCSE course.
