Possessive pronouns - Part 1 (Masculine form)

(0)
Presentation focused on the formation of possessive pronouns in the masculine form only. They can be tricky, therefore I devised this powerpoint in a way to facilitate learning. Go through the slides with the students and ask them to repeat the vocabulary. There is a subsequent quiz and subsequent differentiated reinforcement activities. This is ideal for students studying French at IGCSE, A-Level and IB level. Happy teaching and learning!

Hello and welcome to the fifth installment of introducing numbers at primary Key Stage 1 level. Because of the students’ very young ages, it is recommended to gradually introduce the numbers to them session by session. This resource introduces the number 6 to them in French. Go through the powerpoint with them introducing the numbers to them and get them to say how many shapes there are on the slides. At the end, I have designed a song in the theme of London Bridge. You could try singing it to them in that particular melody. I did it with my class and even the students started to join in even though I was demonstrating it to them! There is a subsequent differentiated workbook for the students to colour in and complete with some French mathematics! You can assign whichever level workbook to the students depending on how comfortable they feel with that level or whether or not they are able. The level 2 workbook focuses on more complex questions and mathematical sums such as multiplications and divisions, whereas the level 1 workbook does not. There is also a wordsearch. Get the students to find the words ‘un’, ‘deux’, ‘trois’, ‘quatre’, ‘cinq’ and ‘six’ Do keep an eye out for the subsequent numbers from 7-10. Happy teaching and learning!

IGCSE French: Venir (in the imperfect tense) de faire + infinitive

(0)
This resource exclusively looks at the use of ‘venir’ in the imperfect form followed by ‘de’ and the infinitive and it is excellent revision from ‘venir de faire’ in the present tense form.

Get the students to complete which quiz they feel the most comfortable with and then go over the answers with them.

IGCSE French: The passive voice (The past)
KRIS240680KRIS240680

IGCSE French: The passive voice (The past)

(0)
This resource explicitly explores the use of the passive voice in the past, which is introduced towards the end of the IGCSE programme and prepares students for the A-Level programme. In this resource, get students to look at the differences between the active voice and the passive voice on slides 2-10. Next, get the students to read the speech bubbles in the cartoons and after each example, get them to answer the questions using both the active and the passive voice. Feel free to provide extra support for those who are less able. After the story, get the students to practise forming the passive voice by conjugating the sample verb ‘etre vu’ and then they can select any activity that they feel most comfortable with. I would recommend the gifted and talented to attempt activity 4, whereas the less able students should attempt activity 1. Happy teaching and learning!
