Encourage students to create better quality sentences in every topic area with this set of 24 adverbs. The adverbs are presented in colour-coded pairs of opposites, as an aid to memorisation and recall. They can be used both to enhance sentences in context and to illustrate or introduce a point of grammar. Select one or more for students to use in a sentence as a starter or plenary or to provide extra challenge at any point. Have fun while consolidating basic sentence structures through the random selection of an adverb to add and demonstrate with an action or facial expression. The sheets of adverbs could be cut up for matching pairs of opposites or for matching to the English. Colour-coded and plain versions of the English sheets are provided for differentiation. The mini-word cards could also be laminated as a permanent stimulus resource for spoken and written work. Other 'Building better sentences' resources are also available.

For beginners, these resources focus on the comprehension of the written French words for colours. Not only do they provide an instant and visual reminder of the meaning of each word, they also develop phonic recognition. Includes a powerpoint presentation with colours fading in, word cards for use as flashcards and/or display, and follow-up worksheets.

Intended for upper KS2 or lower KS3, these resources offer a differentiated written outcome to a topic which includes dates and festivals, although they could be used as a stand-alone task with some pre-teaching. The Powerpoint presentation takes pupils through a staged preparation for the written assessment task, including differentiated challenges. The assessment task is provided in 3 differentiated versions, each with a specific outcome for self-assessment or teacher-assessment purposes. Developing sentence building and writing from memory, the materials could be used in conjunction with my other resources on festivals and dates to create a unit of work. NB. the Stages referred to in the resources relate to the LiP Assessment Criteria, also available on TES.

A pack of resources providing all you need for a series of lessons focusing on applying knowledge of the gender of French-speaking countries to using them in sentences. Includes carefully structured Powerpoint presentations (with notes to slides for further clarification and extension opportunities) and supporting worksheets and activities, many with differentiation. A pupil support mat is also included. Resources are provided in a numbered sequence for easy delivery. The unit leads to speaking and writing outcomes which give pupils the opportunity to demonstrate grammatical understanding and build longer sentences. All resources are provided as adaptable word documents and powerpoints to enable you to substitute your own choice of countries if you wish.
