The 4 slide PowerPoint elicits and explains what the infinitive and conjugation are and then the conjugation of avoir. Expressions: J’ai une trousse et Tu as un taille crayon et Il a une règle et Elle a des ciseaux et On a des feutres et Nous avons des bâtons de colle Vous avez des classeurs et Ils ont des calculatrices et Elles ont des sacs et j’ai les yeux bleus. tu as les yeux noisette. il a les yeux verts. elle a les cheveux blonds. nous avons les cheveux longs. vous avez les cheveux frisés. ils ont un chat. elles ont un frère. Battleships Game Instructions I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. 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. During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. Matching Cards: Expressions: J’ai deux sœurs. Tu as les cheveux blonds. Il a un grand chien. Elle a une voiture. On a un cheval. Nous avons une belle maison. Vous avez un poisson rouge. Ils/Elles ont les cheveux marron. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = The quick fire questions are from English to Spanish. Then play pelmenism.

PowerPoint vocabulary: Un chien Un chat Un lapin Une souris Une perruche Un serpent Un cheval Un hamser Un cochon d'Inde Une tortue Un poisson rouge 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 mutiple choice questions. Then there are "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! Students ask and answer using the structures: Tu as un animal chez toi? Oui, J’ai _____________________________________ Non, je n’ai pas d’animal. As many students are confident talking about pets I've added 2 extension phrases which the students can also use: Quand j’étais petit(e) j’avais _______________________________ Je voudrais avoir _______________________________ I've also added a reminder about plurals: Normally we add an s (silent) e.g. J’ai un chien, j’ai deux chiens. If the noun ends in al we add replace al with aux e.g. un cheval, deux chevaux. If the noun already ends in the letter s we do not need to change it to make in plural e.g. une souris, deux souris. They task has been divided into 3 levels of challenge: All: answer main question. Draw number of animals. Most: Give an extra detail in your answer. Draw number of animals. Some: Give 2 extra details in your answer. Spell the number and animal perfectly in French. I play the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game with the students using mini-whiteboards. The question asks how to say an animal in French and there are 4 possible French answers to chose from. Differentiate as follows: All: Choose a letter. Most: AND translate one remaining animal. Some: AND translate all 3 remaining animals.

French PowerPoint Presentation: Introducing the Perfect Tense for regular -er verbs. This presentation also exposes students to Je suis allé(e). The first slide (details below) encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary and grammar: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings and grammatical rules. They then discuss the pronunciation (PPC = Perfect Pronunciation Challenge) and question each other (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions) before the teacher checks with the whole class: All: Look at the perfect (past) tense phrases below. Translate them. Most: What verb is in green? The word in red is called the past participle, what do you take away from and then add to the infinitive (in blue) to make the past participle? Some: What differences can you think of between the present and perfect tenses? PPC & QFQs! J’ai regardé la télé. (regarder) J’ai dansé. (danser) J’ai joué sur une console. (jouer) J’ai surfé sur Internet. (surfer) J’ai écouté de la musique. (écouter) J’ai retrouvé des amis. (retrouver) * Je suis allé(e) au cinéma. (aller) * Je suis allé(e) à la pêche. (aller) Then there are individual slides with pictures for each phrase which the teacher can use to check the students translation, pronunciation and rules. Then there are multiple choice slides followed by Qu’est-ce que c’est? slides. Slide 32 revises the structure: form of avoir + past participle. Slide 33 elicits the full conjugation of avoir. Slide 34 should be used to elicit how to change the infinitive into the past participle (regular -er verbs). If you wish to mention irregular past participle use slide 35 to do so. Slide 36 briefly introduces the idea of verbs that take être. French Battleships Game/ Lotto Grid: Perfect tense intro regular -er verbs & je suis allé(e). Expressions: J’ai Tu as Il a Elle a Nous avons Vous avez Ils ont Elles ont regardé la télé. joué au tennis. retrouvé des amis. dansé et je suis allé(e) au cinéma. surfé et je suis allé(e) à la pêche. fait du sport. Battleships Game Please see instructions in one of my other battleships product descriptions - I can't fit them into the word count here! Enjoy!

The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. I also like to elicit a gesture for each month, which we then use for a fun game of Simon Says! The next slide (14) 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! Use slide 21 to pounce on students (directed questioning). The final slide links into birthdays asking: Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire? With the model answer: Mon anniversaire, c’est le 30 janvier The matching cards can be used either to elicit the months or to revise previous learning. As the months are so straight-forward, I have added cultural information and longer sentences to expose the students to new facts and vocabulary as well as practising the months. French Expressions: Mon anniversaire est le quinze septembre, c’est génial! J’adore l’Halloween, donc j’adore le mois d’octobre ! Je fais des bonhommes de neige en janvier en France, c’est cool ! Poisson d’avril ! Je mange beaucoup d’œufs au chocolat en mars et avril car c’est Pâques! La fête nationale a lieu le 14 juillet. Les mois d’été sont juin, juillet et août. Le 14 février, c’est le Saint-Valentin, c’est très romantique! J’espère voir le père Noel en décembre! You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French. Then play pelmensim or slap the card. Battleships Expressions: Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche, dix juin. treize mars. vingt décembre. premier avril. quinze août. trente et un juillet. Please see the instructions on another battleships product description - I can't fit them in here!

PowerPoint and Matching Cards (Englsih - French) Expressions: J’ai les cheveux blonds/ Je suis blond(e). J’ai les cheveux bruns/ je suis brun(e). J’ai les cheveux roux/ je suis roux/ rousse. J’ai les cheveux longs. J’ai les cheveux courts. J’ai les cheveux frisés. J’ai les cheveux raides. 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 mutiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides.

Battleships Expressions: J’ai Tu as Il a Elle a On a Nous avons Vous avez Ils ont Elles ont les yeux bleus. les yeux verts. les yeux noisette. les cheveux blonds et courts. les cheveux noirs et raides. les cheveux roux et frisés. Instructions Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. 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. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. Enjoy!

Battleships Game Instructions The students love this competitive and fun game! I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. 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.

I hope your students enjoy this colourful Halloween PowerPoint which I have created using some eye-catching animations! Expressions: Un fantôme. Une citrouille. Une chauve-souris. Un monstre. Un vampire. Un squelette. Un extra-terrestre. Une sorcière. 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 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 "what's missing?" slides.

Mon petit frère est un petit monstre! J’aimerais voir une chauve-souris! J’ai mangé beaucoup de citrouilles. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards (picture and French) and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = The quick fire questions are from English to French. Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the picture cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!

These resources are aimed at students who have previously studied some of the present tense (Year 9 or 10 UK). On slide 1 there is a tonguetwister warmer and slide 2 states the differentiated Lesson Objective. The next slides revise the concepts of the infinitive, subject pronouns and conjugation. Slide 9 then instructs the students to peer teach these concepts. The students then follow the instructions on slide 10 and use the cards to conjugate jouer, finir and attendre. Slides 11, 12 and 13 have the conjugations and slide 14 has the je form of some key irregular verbs: J’ai, je suis, je fais, je vais, je veux, je peux, je dois. The students could then play slap the card (you say the English, they slap the correct card before their partner in order to win it). Slide 15 is to be used in conjunction with the worksheet. This is differentiated into all, most and some and includes translations, and sentence writing (the first sheet reviews all the information taught). Slides 16, 17 and 18 have the answers and suggestions for peer assessment of the sentences. Slide 19 shows the original Learning Objective and can be used for a plenary/ reflection. Enjoy!

This PowerPoint gradually introduces the Future Tense. 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 and rules. It is differentiated into all, most and some. * QFQ = Quick Fire Questions (students quiz each other). Regular Verb Expressions: Je jouerai au foot. Je regarderai la télé. J’écouterai de la musique. Je mangerai un gâteau. Je finirai mes devoirs. Je vendrai ma voiture. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English, the rule and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "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! Slides 22 and 23 revise the rule and check the endings for all sbject pronouns. Slide 24 introduces irregular verbs. Expressions: Je serai acteur. Tu auras beaucoup d’argent. Il fera de la planche à voile. J’irai en vacances à Londres. Je verrai un film. Nous pourrons aller à la plage. Je viendrai chez toi. Je devrai ranger ma chambre. Then there is another Beat The teacher slide (see above) followed by What's missing? slides. The last slide revises the information covered and can be used at the beginning of the next lesson. You may then wish to use one of my Battleships Games or my lotto game to revise/ reinforce this grammar. Lotto. Expressions include: je jouerai je regarderai je mangerai j’irai je me réveillerai je ferai Battleships Expressions: Je quitterai le collège et J’irai au lycée et Je continuerai mes études et Je ferai une licence de commerce et Je ferai un apprentissage et Je travaillerai à l’étranger et je ferai du bénévolat en Afrique. j’aurai ma propre entreprise. je rencontrerai l’homme/ la femme de mes rêves. j’aurai deux ou trois enfants. je serai très riche. j’habiterai au bord de la mer.

Group Talk encourages the spontaneous use of the target language. Here the students use the phrases on the sheet to voice their opinions of the different professions as you show them on the PowerPoint. Expressions on sheet include: Je veux être = I want to be Je ne veux pas être = I don’t want to be Car/ parce que = because Et = and Mais = but Je dois admettre que = I must admit that On peut = You can On ne peut pas = You can’t Je veux = I want Je ne veux pas = I don’t want to voyager = to travel parler une langue étrangère = to speak a foreign language gagner beaucoup d’argent = to earn lots of money J’adore = I love J’aime = I like les maths = maths les langues = languages le contact avec le public = having contact with the public C’est = it is Ce n’est pas = it isn’t assez = quite très = very dure = difficult facile = easy Je suis = I am Je ne suis pas = I am not patient(e) = patient gentil(le) = kind To really enter into the spirit of a lively debate you may choose to also use my Group Talk Discussion Mat with expressions such as : Attend! = Wait! C’est ridicule! = That’s ridiculous! Tu es fou/folle?! = Are you crazy?! Ce n’est pas juste = It’s not fair! Tu plaisantes? = You must be joking/ are you joking?

Group Talk foster the spontaneous use of the target Language in the classroom. This sheet can be used in conjunction with my Group Talk Discussion Mat. This can also be used as a role play template. Examples of questions/ sentences on the sheet: Tu veux voir un film? jouer au foot? visiter Futuroscope? aller au café? faire du vélo? faire du skate? Ce sera très assez extrêmement incroyablement cool intéressant génial chouette Lundi/mardi/mercredi/jeud/ vendredi/samedi/dimanche Matin/ après-midi/soir = morning/afternoon/evening Je pense que = I think that À mon avis = in my opinion De plus = Furthermore B Bonne idée! Chouette! Je veux bien. D’accord. Bof. Ça m’est égal. Tu plaisantes! Ça ne me dit rien. Je n’ai pas envie. The students pair up and one student asks a question. There are then 3 levels of challenge: 1. The student can answer using the expressions in the box (which you have translated and elicited the pronunciation of beforehand). 2. In addition the students use some of the words listed below the box to extend their answers. 3. In addition the students should try to come up with other spontaneous phrases. Using the discussion mat with this allows them to build in additional responses e.g. Attend! = Wait! C’est ridicule! = That’s ridiculous! Tu es fou/folle?! = Are you crazy?! Ce n’est pas juste = It’s not fair! Tu plaisantes? = You must be joking/ are you joking?

This battleships game can also be used as a lotto grid. Expressions: Céline? Je l’ai vue et Béatrice ? Je l’ai rencontrée et Nabila ? Je l’ai invitée et Mathilde? Je l’ai perdue et Les devoirs de Lara ? Je les ai finis et Le dîner d’Alice ? Je l’ai cuisiné et je lui ai offert un cadeau. je lui ai parlé. je lui ai envoyé un texto. je lui ai prêté de l’argent. je lui ai écrit une lettre. je lui ai conseillé de ne pas sortir. je lui ai promis de l’aider.

This is a PowerPoint presentation that describes the weather in Spanish. The first slides have a picture and the weather phrase. The teacher should elicit the English and drill the phrase, perhaps including a gesture (great for a game of "Simon Says" later!). There is then graded questioning: choosing the correct phrase followed by what's missing. The last slide can be used to play a "beat the teacher" game, the students love this! 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: En primavera En verano En otoño En invierno En Madrid En Barcelona hace calor y hace sol. hace mal tiempo y llueve. hace viento. nieva. hay niebla. hay tormenta y hace frío. Matching cards expressions (English & Spanish): Phrases: En primavera hace viento. En verano hace calor. En otoño llueve. En invierno nieva. En primavera en el norte de España hace mal tiempo.

I found a great short film (2 mins 20 secs) on YouTube about the history of the Olympic Games, I love the stylised presentation and have created a series of exercises which I hope will make the French commentary accessible to the students. There is a step-by-step PowerPoint to accompany the worksheet (the answers are both on the PowerPoint and on the worksheet). Slide 2: states the lesson objectives: Objectif: To develop your listening skills and to learn facts and vocabulary related to the history of the Olympic Games. This is differentiated into all, most and some. The first worksheet has 3 goals: All: Match the names and the pictures. Most: AND Put the countries in the order that they appear/ are mentioned. Some: AND Match the date to the correct person. To prepare for these tasks the students are told to: All: Discuss how you would pronounce the names with a French accent! Most: AND be able to translate all the countries. Some: AND be able to say all the years in French. Names include: Pierre de Coubertin, Jesse Owens, le dieu grec Zeus, Tommie Smith Countries include: Le Brésil (Rio de Janeiro), La France (Paris), La Grèce (le temple de Zeus), Dates include : 1894, 8ième siècle avant Jésus Christ, 1968 Slide 4 says: Now you will listen to and watch the short film. Remember, you are only picking out key information. Don’t worry if you don’t understand all the French you hear! Also use the images you see, your logic and previous knowledge to help. You will listen and watch twice, maybe more if your teacher agrees! Slides 5, 6 and 7 have the answers. Slide 8 gives instructions to prepare the students for the next listening task. First is to complete Exercise B which is an English to French match up of vocabulary and phrases that the students will need to in order to understand and answer the multiple choice questions. French vocabulary/ phrases include: 1. Les Jeux olympiques antiques. 2. Le pancrace, la course, le tir. 3. Les tremblements de terre et les inondations. 4. Les femmes. Slide 9 repeats the advice on Slide 4. There are 11 multiple choice questions. Examples of questions: 1. Les Jeux olympiques antiques ont été organisés en l’honneur… A. de Pierre de Coubertin. B. du dieu grec Zeus. C. de l’Empereur Théodose 1er. 2. Parmi les sports aux Jeux olympiques antiques ont été…. A. Le pancrace, la course et la boxe. B. Le pancrace, le tennis et la natation. C.

I have planned this lesson not only to teach vocabulary and facts about football, France and Euro 2016, but also to help the students to respond creatively to their learning and hopefully share their passion for football! The PowerPoint uses matching cards, colourful pictures and animations and YouTube extracts set to music to inspire the students. It is planned to use with students from Years 6-9 (the final task is very open-ended). Slide 2 states the objective: Objectif: To learn about Le Football & Euro 2016 and to respond creatively to your learning. Slide 3 has a YouTube link to follow to use with the attached worksheet. This uses the official UEFA promotional video (3 mins 57 secs) and the worksheet builds vocabulary, cultural and factual knowledge such as the locations of the stadiums, their capacities, cultural images and numbers of matches, volunteers, teams etc. The worksheet is differentiated with an Extra! challenge section. The answers are on the first page of the worksheet. Slide 5 introduces key vocabulary and can be used with the matching cards. The students should work in pairs/ groups to match the vocabulary and the picture using their previous knowledge, cognates and a process of elimination. Vocabulary: Le joueur de foot Le gardien de but L’arbitre Le stade Le ballon de foot La coupe Un drapeau Une équipe Un carton jaune Le terrain de foot Un maillot de foot Des chaussures de foot The activity is differentiated as follows: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! (Here the students quiz each other: French to English, English to French, spellings, accents…..). Slides 6 to 17 show each word and the matching picture and colourful animations. Slide 18 has all the pictures for a quick recap. Then there is graded questioning: Slides 19 to 30 have A, B, C multiple choice questions. Slides 31 to 44 are “What’s missing?” slides. Then slide 45 has a YouTube link to the official song and video (3 mins 49 secs) and students should note down new nouns and adjectives expressing the emotions they see and feel (if they don’t know the French they can grab a dictionary later!) The creative challenges are presented on slides 45 and 46, this is to either create an acrostic, a calligramme or a poem (there is a poem template provided). This information is also on the accompanying worksheets. Slide 47 provides the opportunity for reflection. I really hope you and your students enjoy these resources!

Vocabulary: Un futbolista El guardameta El réferi El estadio La pelota La copa Una bandera Un equipo Una tarjeta amarilla La cancha Una camiseta Unos botines The activity is differentiated as follows: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! (Here the students quiz each other: French to English, English to French, spellings, accents…..). Slides 7 to 18 show each word and the matching picture and colourful animations. Slide 19 has all the pictures for a quick recap. Then there is graded questioning: Slides 20 to 31 have A, B, C multiple choice questions. Slides 32 to 45 are “What’s missing?” slides. Then slide 46 has a YouTube link to the official song and video (3 mins 49 secs) and students should note down new nouns and adjectives expressing the emotions they see and feel (if they don’t know the Spanish they can grab a dictionary later!) The creative challenges are presented on slides 46 and 47, this is to either create an acrostic, a calligramme or a poem (there is a poem template provided). This information is also on the accompanying worksheets. Slide 48 provides the opportunity for reflection. I really hope you and your students enjoy these resources!
