Great lesson, linking to activities that are done in the house. 31 slides in total, very engaging with lots of different activities to consolidate learning and vocabulary. Fully animated with all answers. Instructions for teacher for each activity in Notes section of slides. A huge time saver and great fun to teach! Uses 'My learning journey' AfL tracker throughout lesson to encourage students to reflect on own learning and progress. Great for teacher to identify those who need more support / challenge. Lesson begins with starter asking students to pick one of four boxes (increasing in difficulty) and translate sentences linked to house and town. Students then repeat household activity vocabulary after teacher (with actions!) and then fill in table to refer back to vocabulary. Differentiated options for filling in table (drawing a line between French and English or writing English answers in). Game of Splat! follows to consolidate learning, along with listening activity. Whiteboard activity is next (points scoring depending on level of challenge selected by student and completed within time limit). Twitter feed reading comprehension follows (created on classtools.net), followed by writing activity. Heads down, thumbs up game as plenary.

Great resource, building on 'Sport 1' (different sports and opinions). Fully animated with information in Notes section for teachers for each activity. Very straightforward build to help students make link and understand traditionally challenging grammar point for younger learners. Starter activity is followed by repetition of different sports to consolidate knowledge from previous lesson. Students encouraged to pick out the definite article in preparation for following activities. Students then reflect on the different definite articles, before working out what happens when they combine with 'jouer' in a reading activity (presented as Twitter feeds from David Beckham and Jonny Wilkinson). Students then note down the rule, before translating on their mini whiteboards sentences linked to different sports with jouer + à. Final activity is to design a comic strip (either using the computer or drawing), with clear success criteria provided. Treasure Hunt review at end of lesson.

Display Bundle! Five different display ideas for Secondary, with cover posters ready to go. First display is a 'Mot de la Semaine' poster template, with two examples linked to traditionally challenging vocabulary at KS4. Second display posters are an image of a detective (A4), with several A4 speech bubbles encouraging independent learning and enquiry (A3B4ME) and suggesting ways to improve work. Third, fourth and fifth display posters are linked to GCSE modules. Easily printed to display next to student work. Year 8 Comic Strips links to Daily Routines module (used alongside Linguascope Comic Strip creator), Year 10 links to simple future tense and organising an event for the local area, and Y11 links to Healthy Lifestyles. All easily adapted.

Numbers worksheet with five activities relating to numbers 11-50. Fully differentiated with 'Challenge' extension and 'Want support?' help sheet with number line from 1-50 and useful vocabulary for sums. Full answer sheet provided for reflection and marking. Great time saver! Used successfully with KS2 and KS3. Works as a whole lesson with repetition at the start, lotto and a song.

Clear, concise explanation of aller + imperfect tense, followed by slide with questions for students to gauge their understanding. Great as printed worksheet or as mini whiteboard activity.

Clear, concise explanation of formation of the conditional tense and uses, followed by questions for students. Excellent as a worksheet printed for students, or as a mini whiteboard activity to gauge understanding.

Excellent five-slide presentation with explanations of how to form The Conditional and The Subjunctive, model examples and questions for students to answer. The hard work is done for you! Can easily be adapted and slotted in to a full lesson, or used exactly as they are. Interesting and engaging presentation. Fully animated with images.

A great resource, linked to oral practice at KS5 for the topic of 'Les vacances'. Six slides in total, including three slides of questions that can be used in any number of ways as speaking preparation. Presentation also includes a starter and a plenary to engage students and encourage them to warm-up with useful vocabulary for the topic. Can also be used with HA KS4. A huge time-saver!

Presentation guiding students through the process of peer observation of behaviour in group work and the effects on learning. Based on the activity in the excellent 'The Teacher's Toolkit' by Paul Ginnis. Used to great effect, a real behaviour-for-learning changer and very insightful for students. Definitely worth doing! I use every year with each class to install values and bring attention to the ripple effect of any behaviour that doesn't support learning. The feedback makes much more of a difference coming from their peers rather than me! Use alongside a group activity (for example a reading text and questions), and allow time at the start of the lesson for an explanation and a full reflection at the end (15 minutes+).

Five A4 pictures of beautiful landscapes to print and display with key values of school or department. French and English title posters to display alongside.

Excellent resource, outlining in four short paragraphs a series of Italian traditions and customs for New Year's Eve. Document includes a short text, a series of questions in English to consolidate understanding, answers to the questions and helpful vocabulary. The text is adapted from a longer article online (link on worksheet) and can easily be lengthened if not challenging enough for group. I use this with a year 7 and a year 10 Italian class, both several months into their Italian language studies. Acts as a great springboard for further discussion and cultural comparisons, and introduces them to a range of authentic vocabulary. A perfect first lesson back in January, topical and interesting.

Excellent resource, adored by students, to track and chart progress. Set up to be used for grammar ('er', 'ir', 're', modal verbs and so on), but can be adapted to suit any learning objectives. Students are assigned a character and given a grid at the start of term, or half-term, depending on how many objectives you wish to cover. After each objective has been covered, they circle the traffic light for that square to represent their confidence and understanding - green for very confident, amber for okay but a little unsure, and red if they feel they still don't understand. Very useful for teacher to glance over, to set activities in class as groups, or differentiated homework / prep. A fabulous insight into the progress of students individually and as a class that is subtle and fun for them. In my experience they are very honest too as only they and you see the grid, rather than asking for thumbs or coloured cards to be held up in class.

Differentiated crossword for part-time jobs, linking to GCSE module of Education, Work and Future plans. Suitable also for HA KS3. Excellent starter or plenary. Fully animated with all answers.

Excellent grammar bundle, focusing on three key grammatical concepts at KS4 and KS5. Also suitable for HA KS3 learners. Fully formatted with all animations and answers. Easily adaptable if required. Great time saver! 1. Où - 1 slide - Clear and concise explanation of relative pronoun. 2. Question words - 2 slides - Clear and concise explanation of question words on first slide. Exercise on second slide for learners to test their understanding. Great as worksheet or as mini whiteboard activity. 3. Verbs followed by à - Explanation of verbs followed by 'à', followed by 'Treasure Hunt' game to test understanding. Students answer questions linked to verbs + à, as posed by teacher or each other, and choose a square to be clicked if their answer is correct. Students searching for 15 gold coins and a treasure hunt worth 100 coins.

Excellent lesson, introducing / re-capping French Easter vocabulary and traditions. Fully animated and very attractively presented. Lesson is fully differentiated with ‘Challenge’ and ‘Want support’ options for learners as appropriate. LA and HA worksheets included within bundle. All answers provided and support for teacher in ‘Notes’ section of each slide. Emphasis on fun, independent learning. Students are asked to match French Easter vocabulary to the English equivalents to begin, then repeat the words after the teacher (create a team points game from this activity if you wish with actions). Students are then asked to match a phrase to the correct image, using letter cards or by writing a letter on a whiteboard. A reading text then follows, with questions linked to Easter celebrations and traditions in France. At the end of the lesson, a Pictionary slide is set up to review learning, and also an Easter Egg Hunt game, whereby if students answer questions correctly, they can choose a square to hunt for 15 golden eggs. Took four hours to make! A huge time saver!

Excellent starter, using French Guess Who (C'est qui?) images, asking students to find answers to descriptions on right of slide. Fully animated with all answers, and differentiated with 'Next step' and 'Challenge' options. Can be used to generate cultural discussion regarding typical French names and their English / other language translations. Can be built into an activity for younger learners with them creating their own images, and writing descriptions of their own faces / adding to their partner's descriptions.

Great lesson, linked to Expo 3 (Rouge) 'Je suis malade' spread, Unit 3.1. Fully differentiated with all answers and animations. Perfect as one or two lessons depending on ability of group. Starter activity asks students to label body parts, followed by a translation activity with different French phrases. Mini whiteboard activity follows, then a game of Lotto to consolidate vocabulary. Listening activity has four Voki characters and differentiated grids for answers. Speaking activity is a quick game and is followed by a reading text with questions. Vocabulary to support LA and a 'Challenge' option for HA linked to colloquial language and negatives are provided. The final activity, a written task, gives clear Success Criteria with sentence starters and a 'Want more?' option. Lesson finishes with two slides set up for 'Splat' review game. Great fun to teach!

Great lesson, introducing France and the French language to learners. Created for Primary, but easily adapted to Secondary with a host of suggestions for further discussion, analysis and reflection provided. 40 slides in total. A huge time saver! Ideas for Secondary extension include cross-curricular links to: History (how were French regions affected for example during WW2, the Vichy government etc.); Politics (where in France is currently experiencing a surge in right-wing popularity? Why?); Geography (environmental impacts of tourism, how is it currently managed, could it be more effective?); Arts, Theatre, Music (funding, is it comparable to the UK? The policies of André Malroux and their impact); and the French Language (how is it protected, do other languages have similar institutions? Search Académie française). Slides 1 - 11 ask students to work out the country, linking to European Day of Languages 2016. Beautiful photographic images are provided to support student reflection (monuments, architecture, food, spring, summer, autumn and winter in France, artists - Monet and Matisse, the Tour de France and typical French shops). Slides 12 - 15 introduce the geography of France through maps and facts and figures (position within Europe, number of regions, number of people who speak the language). Slides 16 - 38 introduce French vocabulary linking to the images that students have just seen. Seasons, colours, numbers 1-12 and basic greetings. Slides 39 - 40 set students challenge of completing their worksheet within time limit (given by teacher) and to see how many new words they can incorporate into their day. Two song suggestions (You Tube) provided on last slide for younger learners. * Links to Assembly on European Day of Languages and Word document bundle for worksheets that link to activities if helpful.

Huge time saver! Incredibly useful! Took a day to make! Can be printed as individual A4 pages (or blown up into A3) for French 'Word Wall' display. Very useful to direct students to for help with their own work and to encourage independent learning and flow. Can also be printed as an A4 or A5 booklet for students to have an individual copy for reference in class and at home. Created as when directing students to dictionaries to help source their own verb conjugations, confusion would often ensue as no English translations / pointers on when to use each tense were given to help students who were unsure. Really helps to drive independence and so helpful when teaching as time can be spent supporting LA / pushing HA when circulating, rather than having to constantly be translating verbs to help students continue with their work. 30 pages in total. Verb tables - 24 pages! Present, perfect, imperfect, near future, simple future and conditional tenses for 12 key verbs in French and in English. Definition of when to use each tense also given on each verb table to help student understanding. Connectives - 3 pages. English and French translations given. Separated into different tables of connectives to use with any tense, the present tense, the perfect tense, the imperfect tense and finally the near future, simple future and conditional tenses. Opinions - 1 page. Postive and negative opinions given in French and in English. Ways to introduce points of view also given in table to help students extend and vary communication.
