The resource addresses the Y6 NC requirement to use ‘the perfect form of verbs to mark relationships of time and cause’. It is a challenging unit of work, and would be appropriate for KS3 as well as KS2. Originally, it was written as a single lesson, but given the scope of the vocabulary and concepts covered, It is probably better to extend it over two sessions. The colourful presentation has teacher-operated conceal/reveal animation, and ends with a paired pupil exercise to be completed in the first lesson and reviewed in the second one. There is a KWL (know/wonder/learnt) chart to encourage self-assessment by pupils and give teachers insight into achievements and difficulties. The unit ends with a pupil worksheet at two levels to allow for differentiation. Weaker pupils can be set just exercise A, where the auxiliary verb and past participle appear consecutively in the sentence, and more able ones can be set the additional challenge of exercise B, where the auxiliary and past participle are split by other elements (eg adverbs, negatives) in almost all sentences. Two of the slides have been saved in png format so that they can be printed out for classroom display.

A 13-slide presentation consisting of the text of Dickinson’s poem, together with questions on language, style and context to be explored either as a whole class or set as individual or paired challenges.

This resource consists of 2 sets of 40 task cards which will need either to be laminated or printed onto card. In the first set, a multiple choice activity, pupils have to identify the sentence type on each card and fill in the corresponding letter on the pupil answer sheet. For more able pupils, an extension activity is provided, where the verbs in each sentence have to be identified and written down on the challenge sheet. This task is trickier than it sounds, and could generate some discussion and further teaching, since some of the verbs are disguised within negative constructions or in contractions. The second set consists of pairs of cards labelled A and B. The A cards are all main clauses, and the B cards are subordinate clauses. Cards have to be paired to make complex sentences which make sense. There is no punctuation provided, so that the subordinate clause can go either first or second. Individual teachers may wish to direct the class to begin by putting the main clause first, then teaching/revising the punctuation rule which they need to apply if the order of clauses is reversed. Pupils’ work should be done in exercise books. A supporting poster is supplied for each set of cards.

This consists of two timed tests (PowerPoint) on French regular -er verbs with spelling changes to keep soft consonant sounds (eg mangeons, commençons). There are 32 questions in each set. In the first, pupils are given a subject pronoun and have to supply the correct form of the verb. In the second set, the verb appears in a sentence. Pupils are given 10 seconds to write the missing verb on their answer sheet. The teacher controls how many times the test is viewed, removing test sheets after 1 viewing by the most able pupils and giving extra time to pupils who need it. The same slides are presented in card format so that they can be laminated and used for independent or group work. They make an excellent re-usable resource for a language corner. Pupil sheets and answer sheets are supplied. There is also a set of motivational reward stickers (5 in the pack) . Less difficult -er verbs without spelling changes are available in a separate pack (sets 1 & 2).

A 21 slide PowerPoint show on direct and indirect objects and their effect on word order. Indirect objects are shown in two positions in the sentence. One of the early slides has animated entrance effects, but after that, the presentation is teacher controlled, and can be used for whole class work with individual whiteboards. For anyone who can't stand the garish transition effects (pupils will love them!), there is a PDF version of the presentation. Follow-up worksheets are well differentiated. The task for the most able students is to parse the whole sentence. For the middle ability, the direct and indirect objects have to be highlighted in different colours. The least able are required simply to highlight only the indirect object.
