Knowledge Organisers for Year 7 French. Excel spreadsheets to print A5 size and stick in pupils books at the start of each topic, or you could print them all in a booklet.
Can easily be used as sentence builders for speaking/writing, with students gradually reducing reliance on them towards assessments.
Also ideal for homework - setting roughly half a column per week for vocab tests.
Covering:
Classroom language (1-week mini unit)
School (subjects, opinions, teachers, uniform, rules)
Self, family and pets (productive and receptive)
House and home (productive and receptive)
Leisure activities
Les destinations touristiques
Quality opinions for all year groups up to Grade 5 (transferable language).

Education and Future Career Plans
The KOs are divided into Productive Language (what we teach students to say and write) and Receptive Language (mostly taken from the AQA specification list) which they need to understand for Reading and Listening but don’t necessarily need to use in their own work.
The KOs can be used to structure lesson planning, as a sentence builder or scaffold for students during written/spoken tasks, and for setting homework (typically half a column per week for vocab tests).
I hope you find these useful. Check out my other resources if you did. :)
Printable knowledge organisers for KS3 French.
Can be used as a basis for SoW (ie: what content to cover), as a scaffold in lessons, and for independent learning (self-quizzing for homework).
Productive KOs include verb phrases and key vocabulary that has been selected because it is transferable or is easy to say/spell in test conditions.
Receptive KOs are at word level and contain key language taken from the AQA specification, aimed at exposing pupils to a wider range of this from KS3.
Topics covered (so far) are:
Food and drink
Leisure/free time activities
Pocket money, chores, jobs
Going out in town
Holidays
There are also KOs on key verbs in 3 tenses, and on quality language/opinions to be used across all topics.
Word loops are included for class retrieval practice of Food and Drink topic. Pupils aim to recall the translation of a word before the answers appear on the screen.
