Hello! I am based in the UK and I am a qualified languages (French and Spanish) teacher who is currently working privately teaching French and Italian. During my PGCE year - which I finished with honours - I created lots of resources that I am now sharing on TES. This website helped me a lot during my training and I am now hoping to be just as useful to somebody else!

A full lesson based around foods introducing the passive form. The lesson includes a recap slide to get the pupils thinking about food vocabulary and quantities while the class settles.

Following is a slide on tips for tackling reading tasks, and a reading tasks that the pupils will work on independently on in pairs. This text includes the passive form which is then clearly explained in the next slides, including a recap of the present tense of ser and how to form past participles. Now that the pupils should be able to recognise the passive form, they are asked to do so with the previous reading task’s text.

The finally activity is a speaking/writing task to get the pupils talking about their favourite food without mentioning the name; the classmates will have to guess which food it is.
