What I did last weekend
Have you identified writing as an area of weakness for your students?
Do your students need help identifying past and future tense bullet points in writing tasks?
Do your students need help learning how to re-use secure language?
Do your students need help learning that (in French exams) it’s ok to lie?!
This bundle includes booklets of past and future tense bullet points from new-spec GCSE French writing papers (Foundation and Higher). There is space within the booklets for students to translate the bullet point and prepare their own response in the Target Language.
Great for use as whole-class, no-prep starters, or for targeted intervention with individuals or small groups.
