Text to read with exercises to extend knowledge of vocab.

Pupils colour the flags and label them then find the countries in the word search.

Had to leave work for my year 7 class starting House and Home topic. This worksheet introduces them to key vocab to talk about types of houses and areas they might live in. 'Ave it!!! :)

Vocab revision and exam question to try

1st slide - starter activity - crack the code to work out the Xmas words 2nd slide has 4 baubles - click on each one in turn : Bauble 1 = powerpoint teaching pupils about French Christmas Bauble 2 = Who wants to be a millionaire game based on what they've learned Bauble 3 = Match up activity and wordsearch using vocabulary they have learned Bauble 4 - Just takes you to the next screen - click on the squares to reveal a picture connected with French Christmas.

Support sheet to help pupils create a piece of writing about their usual eating habits.

Print the 3 screens on A4 card & fold as indicated. 2 pupils sit opposite each other and must try to say the English paragraph on their side of the card in French while their partner checks what they say. Cards can be swapped after a set period of time until all pupils have tried 3 different paragraphs.

Based on a question from AQA Higher level reading exam June 2014. Pupils work in groups scanning and analysing 5 texts for key vocabulary.

3 posters to read with questions in English.

Pupils say a sentence in French, choosing a beginning from the top row and an ending from the left. They must then say what it means in English in order for teacher to click on the square they have chosen to see if there is a battleship there! Could also make them pronounce it perfectly if you are really mean.....er....I mean if you are a really good teacher!!!!! :)

Cut out the triangles and pupils match them up so that French sentences are adjacent to their equivalent English sentences, thus creating one docking big triangle!! N.B. YOU NEED FORMULATOR TARSIA software on your computer to open this resource but it's free to download. I created the resource using this software.

Text - exploit it in lots of ways - - Give 'em a mini-highlighter (10 for a quid down Asda!) - highlight what they know. - Work in pairs translating different sections of the text then feedback to class explaining how they worked various bits out. - pick out different grammar points - connectives, opinions, quantifiers etc etc.

Pupils each have a copy of both sheets - cut out the pictures, do the sums and stick the correct part of the picture on top of the sums to create an Easter picture which can then be coloured! Smartboard slide gives instructions for pupils to follow.

Pupils research key vocab on 1st screen. Then play soundfile (attached to deaf fella icon) - if link doesn't work, use MP3. &'Ave it!! :)

Speaks for itself!

I stuck the 2 sheets onto a large sheet of A2 paper and got pupils to work in groups of 3/4. They had learned some personal qualities prior to doing the group work. The next lesson they wrote personalised paragraphs, but the group work really helped to build their skills / knowledge beforehand.

Just a couple of little Easter activities! 'Ave &'em if they are any good!!! :)

N.B. For slide 9 to work, you need to link it to the 2nd resource (Filles v. garcons powerpoint). To play this game, just keep pressing N or right arrow on keyboard to rotate the questions -wherever it stops, the team must answer that question to get a point!! Or play one girl v. one boy & give winner a sweet. Yes.....bribery......if it works do it!!! 34 years tells me it works!!! :)

Pupils each have a copy of both sheets - cut out the pictures, do the sums and stick the correct part of the picture on top of the sums to create a festive picture which can then be coloured.

Colouring activity reinforcing French colours for weaker groups. Could also be used for numeracy skills - teacher could ask questions eg red + light blue. Pupils refer to légende & give correct answer in French. Please let me know if you have any problems downloading - I created this resource in Word, but all the numbers seemed to move once I uploaded it, so I created the PDF document instead. Preview looks fine.
