Introduction of Les Restos du Coeur and their work to year 13. Brief explanation in English. The Restos du Coeur song linked in with a brief listening exercise. Finally a couple of exercises based on the new campaign for Winter 2014. Students watch the video and answer in French, then a gapfill. Could be homework. It took my students about 50 minutes in a computer room - they could control the video themsleves. Answer sheet given.

A table of the topics covered since the current GCSE started. I made it to see if I could predict the writing questions for this year’s exam. You might like to also see if you can work out what the students will be asked!

Two worksheets aimed at beginner year 7 French on the topic of family and introducing the vocab for family members. The grammar focus is on mon/ma and j’ai to form sentences. There are optional challenge questions but the idea would be that students could complete this work independently and without too much support. It would be good for homeowrk, to send home to complete or for when you need a quiet 20 minutes in class for whatever reason! I have aimed this a middle ability set. The first sheet is to build up from single items of vocab (family members) to sentences then on to a short paragraph. The idea is they will make fewer mistakes with writing as it is very scaffolded. The second sheet is reading comprehension with the aim of them being able to use the reading to help them write their own piece using ideas taken from the examples they read.

IWB used to redo the present tense with KS4 who have forgotten it - back to basics!

Also this is just the presentation, there is also a millionaire game on here somewhere. This is not the whole lesson. 2) I have put I have played to get the students to understand the formation. Please feel free to explain the whole I have played / I played thing orally, as I do.

I started using a commercial resource to teach No et Moi but it was taking too long to get through the book so recently I have made some worksheets to go with each chapter, a summary in English and specific work on a paragraph or two, sometimes a link to a textivate, sometimes some questions I do as a sort of running comprehension, sometimes translation or summary to help with paper 1. Anyway they may be useful to someone else who is having to hurry up a bit. Enjoy
