Presentation: As the musical instruments are very straight forward and include many cognates, I have built in a range of tenses too. Expressions: Je joue de la guitarre. Je vais jouer de la flûte. J’ai joué de la batterie. Il joue du piano. Je voudrais jouer du clavier. Nous jouons du violon. Je ne joue pas d’instrument. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other (QFQs = Quick Fire Questions) before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next slide can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Finally there is a Qu’est-ce que c’est? slide. Battleships. Expressions: Je joue de la guitare Il joue de la flûte Je vais jouer de la batterie J’ai joué du piano Nous avons joué du clavier de temps en temps. souvent. tous les jours. une fois par semaine. deux fois par jour. trois fois par mois. Battleships Game Instructions Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss pronunciation. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation.

As there are many cognates and this is aimed at slightly older students I have included a range of tenses. Expressions taught: Je voudrais voir un dessin animé. Je ne regarde jamais les jeux. Mon frère préfère les émissions sportives. Quand j’avais onze ans j’aimais les émissions pour la jeunesse. La météo ne m’intéresse pas. Les informations sont ennuyeuses. Hier soir j’ai vu un documentaire. Avant de faire mes devoirs j’ai vu un film. Je vais regarder un feuilleton. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. it is differentiated as follows: All: Pick out and translate the TV programmes. Then translate the full sentences. Most: Identify the tenses. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: QFQs! (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions - the students quiz each other on the new phrases). The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there is a "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slide. This final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

Expressions: Sous Sur Entre À côté de À gauche de À droite de Devant Derrière The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill.

This PowerPoint presents the following exchange expressions: Tu peux me prêter..? un baladeur/ un iPod? un dictionnaire? un parapluie? un réveil? du dentifrice? une brosse à cheveux? The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Then use the slide to ask Qu’est-ce que c’est? You may wish to reinforce this with my battleships/ lotto game: Expressions: Tu peux me prêter un/une J’ai oublié mon/ ma J’ai acheté un/ une Je vais acheter un/ une J’ai besoin d’un/ une iPod. dictionnaire. parapluie. réveil. dentifrice. brosse à cheveux. Battleships Game Instructions Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. The students then focus on pronunciation and decide the two easiest and two most difficult words to pronounce. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen.

On ne doit pas fumer à l’intérieur. Il ne faut pas porter de bijoux. Il faut respecter les profs et les autres élèves. Il faut faire ses devoirs regulièrement. Il faut apporter un mot d’absence signé par les parents. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slides.

I have designed these resources to celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics. They build student’s knowledge of sports vocabulary and adjectives using YouTube extracts, fun animations, matching cards, a video extract worksheet and finally a creative task to help the students express their Olympic/Paralympic passions! Slide 2 presents the differentiated lesson objectives. Slide 3 has the Olympic motto and pictures of Olympian heroes. Slide 4 is the warmer task: name as many Olympic/Paralympic sports as possible from student’s previous knowledge and includes links to the Juntos | Campaña oficial del COI in both Spanish and English (1 min 30 secs each) to inspire the students. They may do this in teams, pairs or individually. The full list of Olympic and Paralympic events can be found on a PDF in these resources. Slides 5 to 43 build new Olympic/Paralympic sports vocabulary: El atletismo El remo El piragüismo La equitación La esgrima El levantamiento de pesas La lucha El buceo El nado sincronizado El tiro El tiro con arco La vela Slide 5 invites the students to: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! *Here the students quiz each other, e.g Spanish to English, English to Spanish, spellings etc. of the new vocabulary. Slides 6 to 17 have 1 slide per expression and allow you to drill the new vocabulary. Then there is graded questioning. Slides 19 to 30 show the images and give the students a choice of two possible sports to choose from. Then slides 31 to 43 are what’s missing? slides. Slide 44 should be used in conjunction with the worksheet. Here the students tick the sports they see on the Paralympic trailer video (2 mins 48 secs) and includes an extension task for stronger students. The answers are on the first two pages of the worksheet PDF. The next slide should be used with the English-Spanish adjectives matching cards. Adjectives: trabajador/a entusiasmado/a perezoso/a nervioso/a concentrado/a seguro/a relajado/a encantado/a orgulloso/a egoísta terco/a lento/a rápido/a hablador(a) habilidoso/a Once matched you may like to play pelmenism/slap the card. Then complete the second half of the worksheet: students watch the official Rio 2016 trailer and tick the adjectives which reflect the emotions of the athletes and spectators as well as other adjectives to describe what they see. There is an extension task for stronger students. Then the students have a choice of three creative tasks: to design and decorate in Spanish an Olympic torch, an Olympic flag or to write a poem about their Olympic/Paralympic hero. The last slide is for reflection.

Vocabulary presented: J’ai un stylo. J’ai un crayon. J’ai un cahier. J’ai un livre. J’ai un taille-crayon. J’ai un classeur. J’ai un sac. J’ai un dictionnaire. J’ai une règle. J’ai une trousse. J’ai une gomme. J’ai une calculatrice. J’ai des ciseaux. J’ai des feutres. J’ai des tennis. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to check the pronunciation, the English, whether the noun is masculine or feminine and to drill. As there are quite a lot of items I have divided them into 2 groups, starting with the first 7 items. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slides. Then I have added slides of the next 8 phrases and pictures, followed by multiple choice questions and "What's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Battleships Expressions: I have added in a range of tenses and other expressions to challenge and stretch the students.

This step-by-step French PowerPoint gradually elicits the formation of negatives with the present tense: ne + pas. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new structure: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings and rules. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class: All: Translate the phrases below. Most: AND decide which two words we add to make a sentence negative. Where are they positioned? Some: AND: decide why we say n’ai pas rather than ne ai pas. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Je suis généreux. Je ne suis pas généreux. J’ai un frère. Je n’ai pas de frères. J’ai une souris. Je n’ai pas d’animal. The following slides gradually check the students' answers. Slide 8 recaps the new expressions and can be used for a game. Slide 9 recaps the questions (can be used for revision next lesson) and slide 10 is the same a slide 8. Worksheet: This sheet starts with a re-cap of the rules: To make this sentence negative we add ne and pas. These go around the verb e.g. Je ne joue pas au tennis = I don’t play tennis. Then there is a French - English translation section, followed by English - French translation. The next section reminds us that du changes to de after a negative. This is followed by English - French translation. The final section is to build in previous knowledge to write a short paragraph. The following phrases are offered for support: Tous les jours = everyday car = because mais = but donc = therefore et = and une fois par semaine = once a week deux fois par semaine = twice a week c’est = it is intéressant = interesting génial = great ennuyeux = boring. Battleships: This battleships can be used to revise a variety of expressions with ne + pas. I have also included one near future and one perfect tense example to add challenge/ expose students to these new tenses. Expressions: Je n’ai pas de frères et sœurs et Je ne suis pas travailleur et Tu n’as pas d’animal et Il n’habite pas en France et Elle n’est pas généreuse et Nous ne sommes pas sympas et je ne joue pas au foot. tu ne joues pas au basket. il ne fait pas de cyclisme. je ne vais pas faire de ski. je n’ai pas joué au tennis. Please see instructions for playing battleships on one of my other product descriptions - I can't fit it in here!
