Match-up sheet for computer room lesson: -Match-up phrases to recap 3rd person. -Research a sports personality and fill in profile (basic answers, not full sentences) then type up in neat, produce a poster. Reading activity as preparation for writing a profile of a famous sports person as part of end of module assessment.

Numeracy starter worksheet - revision of numbers for using French phone numbers. 2 vocab starter worksheets used immediately before past papers - aim was to get pupils thinking about a range of related vocab.

Vocab sheet to use with this video from VideoEle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etd0-GwJJ0Y Pupils see how many items they can identify from the video - challenge to find as many as possible, rather than expectation to get them all. Then becomes sheet for recording vocab - go through answers on powerpoint and pupils fill in gaps.

Used with an Asset Spanish class, so is fairly basic. Would probably be OK for KS3 or a Foundation GCSE group. Read descriptions of people's jobs/where they work, and match with job titles previously learned.

Pupils have learned various shops/key buildings in down. Pupils have learned some basic directions and prepositions. In pairs - one person has the map, other person has a copy of the directions. Map-holder asks Qs (see top-right of page) and partner reads from the directions. Map-holder fills in empty boxes on map. Extension for those who finish first - add in some other places and write sentences describing their location.

Match vocab with pictures as recap from previous lesson.

Pupils use cognates/prior knowledge/process of elimination to match the French and English timephrases and place them on the timeline. Used alongside work on perfect tense.

Foundation level reading activity. Account of a weekend. Perfect tense. Leisure activities, cinema.

Pupils had covered perfect tense during module on hobbies/leisure in the previous term but had had a bit of a break from it. Used quiz to get them thinking about it again and prepare to apply it to the current topic. Could use to test how much they remember, or let them use their exercise books (opportunity for them to evaluate how good their note-taking is and if their books will help them revise).

Perfect tense with avoir. Regular and irregular verbs. Settling starter worksheet.

Exercises to practise correct use of negatives with verbs in the perfect tense.

Used with high/middle set Y10 classes. Some mistakes should be obvious enough for all to spot (eg: infinitive instead of past participle) whilst others are more challenging.

Used as settling starter the lesson after introducing the Mrs Vandertramp verbs.

Recognition of differences between perfect and present tenses (a basis for discussion/questioning when going through answers). Extension gets pupils to apply this knowledge and use the perfect tense.

Pupils work out new vocab using cognates and process of elimination. Then checked answers via powerpoint or Taskmagic game. Later in lesson gave list of French vocab for them to fill in English (recording vocab but also a test of what they've learned).

Comprehension Qs then find various features, in an account of work placement. Produced for a high ability Year 10 group. Had just revised the perfect tense ready to write their own account of work placement the following week. I think I may have adapted the text from something found on here so if you recognise it as your own, many thanks. :)

Pupils match job titles to descriptions. Extension activities included.

Starter worksheet to recap job titles

Hand out grids - pupils mustn't show partner. Use question 'Qu&'est-ce que ton pere/ta mere fait dans la vie?' and answer with 'il/elle est...' based on grid. When finished, compare grids in pairs to check answers.

Disclaimer: adapted from a teacher at my placement school, not entirely my own work. First pupils do card-sort activity - match reasons for jobs in French and English. When they finish, start filling in the grid. As extension or homework - fill in the 3rd column with a job title (in French) that goes with the reason - there is more than one possible answer for this.
