les pays francophones worksheet and video: learn the 29 countries

(0)
A gap-fill sheet to accompany my video about les pays francophones. The video displays all 29 countries within 2 minutes, with some excellent music :) It’s a good introduction to the topic. Students can watch the video and see how many of the 29 countries they can remember, or use this sheet and try to fill in the gaps (initial and final letters are given). They could see how many they can guess before watching the video, if they’re feeling confident! There is an answer sheet too. I made the video in the first lockdown for my Year 6 class, but this could be used for all age groups.

KS3 French, Tu veux sortir? Je veux aller au... using vouloir + infinitive

(0)
A set of colour slides made to use with my Y7 French class, where I was introducing the strucutre je veux + infinitive. The students decided on the names of the characters in the “story”. The slides feature phrases such as: Tu veux aller au cinéma? Tu veux aller au McDonalds? Tu veux aller au parc d’attractions? Tu veux aller à la patinoire? and responses such as: Non! C’est nul! Non, je déteste ça! Bonne idée! J’adore ça! Génial! Please let me know if you spot any errors! At the end there are a couple more slides, including a dice-rolling activity to create a conversation (we did this in pairs), and a very simple sentence frame containing all the vocabulary covered.

A set of colour slides which I made to introduce the verb faire + du/de la etc to my Year 7 class. It’s in the form of a very simple illustrated story, with a character doing a different activity each day of the week. The slides have animations which mean you can introduce the language orally before showing the written form. Also included is a basic sentence builder frame, with all the vocabulary from the sldies, plus a few extra, and a blank Battleships game which we used as a whole class, in two teams, to consolidate the learning. The language on the sentence builder is as follows (not all illustrated though):- Je fais (I do) Tu fais (you do) Il/elle/on fait (he/she/one does) Mon ami fait (my friend does) Nous faisons (we do) Vous faites (you lot do) Ils font (they do) Elles font (they do) du patin sur glace (ice skating) du skate (skateboarding) du roller (roller skating) du judo (judo) du vélo (cycling) du sport (sport de la gymnastique (gymnastics) de la planche à voile (windsurfing) de la voile (sailing) de la natation (swimming) de la danse (dancing de l’athlétisme (athletics) de l’escalade (climbing) de l’escrime (fencing) de l’équitation (horse-riding une promenade (a walk) une randonnée (a hike)

Battleships/le morpion basic slides for French school subjects and times of day

(0)
These 3 colour slides with green background were used with my Y7 French class, when studying what times they learn different subjects at school. One slide is for playing Battleships, and others for noughts and crosses as a class, or could be printed out etc. Icons for the school subjects and digital times are used throughout (because how many Y7s know how to read analogue these days?!). NB The French language is not presented on the slides, as this was introduced separately. These slides were used for playing the games to consolidate learning.

Rauchen ist ungesund : Meine letzte Zigarette song - Worksheet, KS4 German

Rauchen ist ungesund : Meine letzte Zigarette song - Worksheet, KS4 German

(0)
A very simple worksheet that goes with the song “Meine letzte Zigarette” by Ruth Händel, from 1975; the appropriately crackly audio is freely available on Youtube, although sadly no actual video. I made this for a Y10 German class when tackling the topic of Health. They listened to the song, having already met some of the vocabulary in other contexts, and then we went through the lyrics in various ways, including the gap-fill on the sheet. Below the song, I included 4 spaces for students to fill in key words for the Nachteile of smoking, following our class discussion. The song is actually quite catchy, when you’ve heard it 25 times! Complete with genuine coughing, which went down well with the class. :)

Was gibt es in Hamburg? places in a German city or town, slides and activity, Google Earth linkKS3/4

(0)
This is a set of slides that I used for my Year 9 class when introducing the topic of things you find in a German town: it includes repetition of the structure “in XXX gibt es …”.also “obwohl es kein Kino gibt” / aber es gibt kein… / doch gibt es kein …" etc. and also "ich gehe oft zum Kino / zur Messe etc. (See below for the full list of language introduced.) I used Hamburg as an example city, (because it’s my favourite!) and we started off by looking at Google Earth as a whole class activity on the whiteboard, finding all the places using GE, practising the language orally, and then using the slides to go over this new vocabulary, including seeing the written form at this point. This is presented first as a gap-fill, e.g. a picture of the park in Hamburg from Google Earth that we already looked at, and “In Hamburg g… e… einen P…” on the slide; full sentence is then presented on next slide). A simple sentence builder is included, and a few more gap-fills where pupils in teams or pairs had to provide the missing word/phrase, prompted by pictures. This took at least one lesson with an able Year 9 class; they also wrote about what there was in their town at the end of the lesson. Please consider leaving a review :) Vielen Dank!
