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.

GCSE French powerpoints for quickfire testing. Snippets of grammar. A very short snippet, phrase or word to translate and then the answer on the next slide. Designed to be quick and low stakes. Students write answers on mini white boards and hold up. Answers could also be given orally or just written as a list in books. English to French too hard? Do the powerpoint backwards! I use my clicker to change slides quickly. These are ones I’ve used with my own classes. There is a foundation (or easier) version and a higher (or harder) version. I use this activity again and again with the same slides (they get better at it). It’s a starter or a good time filler if you have a few minutes and want to get some energy back in the room. I do 10 minutes worth and then stop wherever I got to (or it gets boring). I use the same one for year 9, 10 and 11. It’s not pretty but it’s effective.

Worksheet going from vocabulary to sentences to writing a 90 or 150 word piece about social problems for GCSE French. Starts with focussing on the topic vocab (French to English, the English to French). Then moves to translating sentences into English and similar sentences into French. A sentence builder to make sentences that will be useful in the writing. There is an example 90 word answer with gapped translation and word find activity. Finally students write their own 90 word piece using what they have learnt and can move on to 150 words.

Six pages of revision that I prepared for my year 7 students to use independently. We are using the textbook Allez and our upcoming assessment will rely heavily on Unit 3 with some vocabulary from the first two units thrown in. The revision booklet covers vocabulary, sentences and translation. There is a Foundation GCSE style writing activity with support down the left- hand side of the page. This booklet would be ideal for a cover lesson. There is also a version with the answers.
