A worksheet collection suitable for upper KS2 or KS3, this collection is designed to reinforce pupils’ understanding of adjectival agreement in French.
The language level of this resource makes it suitable for able KS2 classes and KS3. It comprises an interactive presentation based on a specially written text themed on New Year resolutions. The text and presentation target the following SPaG areas:
SPELLING
-whose/who’s, loose/lose, choose/chose
silent g (gnome, consign, diaphragm )
PUNCTUATION
capital letters for festivals and religions
ellipsis
commas
brackets
GRAMMAR
simple, compound and complex sentences
elision of '‘that’ and ‘whom’ in some complex sentences
Two slides cover how structure can be manipulated to improve writing. There is an example of how the first paragraph of my New Year text moved from simple to compound and then complex sentences, and finally to ‘hidden’ complex sentences.
Plenty of written follow-up work is provided:
SPELLING CROSSWORD (silent g)
PUNCTUATION WORKSHEET (the unit text (stripped of commas and capital letters)
DICTATION : this is a supported activity, where pupils fill the gaps in the text. More able pupils should be expected to write the whole text without the help of the worksheet.
TEST (worth 30 marks. The final question is a writing assignment.)
The pack would be good to use over a whole week , using the spelling, punctuation and grammar sections over consecutive days (possibly as lesson starters), with the dictation on the fourth lesson, and the test taking up the whole of the final session.
If you find this works for you, look in my shop, where you will find several others text-based SPaG resources.
The text is the scene where the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to view the episode when his fiancee, Belle, tells him the relationship has to end. The comprehension exercise is accompanied by a mark scheme.

The presentation contains karaoke-style scrolling text with sound , plus two slides showing how ‘avoir’ is used to talk about age and about animals. These slides have optional sound to assist with pronunciation of the text.).
The song is good for learning as a two or four part round (see teacher notes). A copy of the printed music is included, indicating entry point of each group of singers.
There are two fill-the-gap worksheets for follow up written work - one on age and the other on animals. The task in each is to complete a sentence by supplying the correct form of ‘avoir’.
