A lesson focused on 'je fais' and some activities (e.g. je fais de la guitare électriques...) as well as justifying why you do those activities (e,g, parce que c'est branché).

A lesson to introduce literature early in year 7 French (or in primary school if you are adventurous). It is based on a popular authentic French nursery rhyme. Each activity is differentiated. The lesson plan is very explicit but there is room for changes if you want to adapt some of the activities or change them. This is a great way to introduce literature progressively early in KS3 based on the new National Curriculum recommendations. This will also allow an easier transition when literature becomes compulsory at KS4 in MFL in the new specifications. This is the first of a series of resources dedicated to the teaching of authentic literary materials in French.

A lesson on fashion and clothes. The starter asks students to find antonyms to adjectives. it is followed by an introduction of vocabulary (pictures and words can be revealed using the rubbed).

This is the result of a case study on how to improve and increase the use of spontaneous target language in the classroom by students. In this set of resources, you will find the rationale behind it (without videos for CP reasons) and the whole original display used based on "est-ce que je peux/nous pouvons..." as well as routines such as register, absence, lateness, justifications and comparatives. It's great to mount the display progressively as you introduce the different elements to the students. The other displays are posters for Time Markers (past, present and future), Opinions (positives and negatives), Quantifiers, Days of the Week, Months and Numbers from 1 to 100 that students can use as well during routines.

PowerPoint version for visual support that we have used for a year 7 Gifted and Talented French day along with the updated booklet. I have also added a task that they had to complete at the end of the day. This can be used as a standalone day or as a series of lessons on to revise and practice school.

A display to be used as an extension wall. Students choose the kind of extension activities they want after having finished an activity. It's easy to be mounted. You can laminate the cards if you want them to last longer. You can also add more cards in (the template in a word document). I would recommend printing the poster on A3 card, laminated, and still plastic wallets using a glue gun or strong double sided tape.

A Unit of Work on the topic of media and the news. There are four lessons worth of activities (understanding the news, interviews, weather forecast and reporting in the imperfect tense). Students can work through the supporting booklet. The final activity gets the students into groups where they have to create their own TV show to include an opening, the weather forecast, breaking news and an interview.
