This is an extremely comprehensive set of 4 x 1hr 15 min lessons, which could be changed into 5, if lessons are shorter. A full knowledge organiser is included for the whole unit of work and then the lessons follow the EPI approach to teach pupils how to discuss school subjects in the past, present and conditional tenses. There is also a grammar focus on giving opinions and reasons for singular and plural school subjects. A different retrieval activity is used to start each lesson, allowing for a variety of fun activities whilst always working on recalling vocabulary to aid memory. Conti-style activities are included throughout and build up to producing own written work in lesson 4.

This unit of work entitled ‘Bonjour’ aims to start a Year 3 class off with learning French but could be easily adapted to use with a lower ability Year 7 class/ant primary class starting out with learning French. Pupils learn how to greet people, introduce themselves, describe how they are feeling and how old they are, as well as saying goodbye in a variety of ways. There are 5 lessons in this bundle, each using the EPI methodology to teach pupils through the use of sentence builders. Each lesson is based on 1 hour of teaching and can be easily printed to provide each pupil with a booklet, minimising the need for exercise books. As the lessons progress, the sentence builders grow in complexity to continually challenge pupils to make progress. in addition, this bundle includes an assessment preparation PowerPoint, as well as a teacher marking grid to aid assessment grading/report writing and to make notes on the pupils presentations as they are delivering them to the class.
