Point de départ: Jours ordinaires, jours de fête

A set of three lessons following ‘Point de départ: Jours ordinaires, jours de fête’ Studio GCSE Higher Module 3. Students are reminded of food, clothes, common verbs (manger, prendre, porter and mettre) and quantities to start the lessons then go on to practice using direct object pronouns and adjectives. Students practice their skills through a range of activities from the book enhanced with support and challenge activities as well as additional slides to explain the grammar, additional exercises to practice using object pronouns, a differentiated translation in to English, speaking tasks. A blockbusters and translation race game is also used to consolidate student knowledge. The lessons conclude with a role play card task with student friendly criteria and an extended writing task with success criteria to facilitate self/peer assessment.
