The resource contains a range of challenging vocabulary, quality discussion questions and a choice of follow-up tasks for each section of the book. I have used it in my classroom following the Highland Literacy Project’s way of organising reading in the upper primary classroom. Children engage in reading 3 times per week: Session 1 - Pupils discuss the text, read the set pages independently and look up the vocabulary from the pages they have read. Session 2 - Pupils discuss the pages read with their group and the teacher. Session 3 - Pupils complete a follow-up task from the choices given to demonstrate further understanding. When I have used this, I have printed a few pages of the document to share between pupils in the reading group, with tasks completed in jotters. For example: For Week 1, Session 1 - pupils use page 1 of the document. For Week 1, Session 2 - pupils use page 2 of the document. For Week 1, Session 3 - pupils use page 2 of the document, and so on. I hope you find this resource useful, however you choose to use it!

You need to change printer settings to “Flip on short side” as it is a landscape document. Resource comes as Word document which can be edited and as a PDF which is ready to print.

This activity can be used to practise basic conversational French once pupils have learned how to ask and answer questions. It could also be used for revision purposes. It covers topics such as name, age, where you live, siblings, hobbies, hair colour, eye colour, birthdays and favourite colours. Pupils take it in turns to ask and answer each other 10 different questions and record the responses on their sheets, in either French or English. There is also a help sheet to go with the activity if necessary.
