I am currently a Head of Modern Languages in a large secondary school in the North East Of England. I also work with the local University with PGCE MFL students, an area of my work I thoroughly enjoy. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and have a particular interest in the teaching of grammar and of literary texts to develop reading, writing and listening skills. I am currently working on developing a range of resources to support the study of Le Petit Nicolas and the series of books.

building blocks to show students how to add to get higher levels, the level 5 refers to a style of writing/style and students could be encouraged to use another tense. This includes mini review with mini whiteboard, opportunities for peer assessment. This is used with linguascope, linguastars and also studio 1 interactive package to teach the time . Comments welcome .
Gap fill and error correcting : verbs in the present and reflexive verbs French grammar practice.

Gap fill and error correcting : verbs in the present and reflexive verbs French grammar practice.

(1)
This activity is designed to help students to develop their expertise in using the verbs to have and to be in French with correct forms, and to memorise and practise using correct pronouns for difficult reflexive verbs. the red is to support students to find the errors and the green indicates the subject so students can be encouraged to use these as a clue for both the verb formation and the gap fill for the work on reflexive verbs. There should be a fine balance between challenge and support for all abilities in this activity but feedback and comments are more than welcome.

In my year 10 class-dans ma classe de y10

I did this to help my class revise different verbs, tenses ( imperfect and present ), adjectives and the DOP. The examples of names can be tweaked, you may also wish to create a new template so you can work with the verbs, verb endings and also adjectives. The last slide introduces the subjunctive mode with il faut que and regular verbs. I have now also added two sheets to work with verbs, with support on sheet 2 ( differentiated verb gap fill )

The Direct Object pronoun consolidation

I have amended this power point I used last year with top set year 9 and KS4 classes and added more practice, consolidation of using the DOP and also tried to show how this works in higher level sentences and work. I will use mini whiteboards also to challenge and mix DOP with other tenses. The second presentation contains more support and details about how to use DOP with perfect and even negatives for top grades.

Year 11 French GCSE Les metiers Speaking

I designed this power Point for a fairly bright group of year 11 whom I thought could benfit more from working in pairs or in group using this power point as a starter. I used the verbs from Expo Higher as a bse in order to dvelop awareness of how to improve a conversation and opinions. The first slide is a starter activity to make the students reflect on their knowledge of verbs and phrases from a listening activity completed during the previous lesson.

Lots of practice on verbs , past tense in particular, practice on complex structures using ’ after having + past participles ’ and also a strong focus on French word order when talking about types of music, types of concerts etc… The text can be exploited in may ways, I have written myself, used a class and paired reading, translations etc…

with an accompanying worksheet to support and a reading activity, the power point contains a sentence builder and a listening ' memory map' for pupils to complete after they have listened to the script to see what they remember and if they can identify the activities.

a presentation to run with mini whiteboards to demonstrate ideas of how they can be used across subjects to enhance learning, making progress, keep focus, pace and engagement throughout a full lesson, moving through levels and grades. I will have to update it as there are more slides I will be using in the future.

I have three boxes ( one green, one pink as could not find orange, one red) In these I place different styles of help and support to help writing in lessons or even when setting homework. I would place the translation in the green box, the french clues in the pink box and the english clues in the red box.
