get students to give you the answers before the mouse gets back to the hole

simple breakdown to guide writing to support students who often do not know how to start or organise ideas.

I used and created this power point for a performance management observation.

Simple resource to support students in understanding how to build this tense. The document can be easily adapted to the level of the students using this resource. I have left some clues for the conjugations of to have and to be spellings, but they can just be removed for further challenge.

with the audio file. The first activity can be used as a card sort for students to place the text in order as they hear the song. The 3 remaining worksheets are for differentiation- gap fill with no help, gap fill but verbs in the infinitive have to be placed in the imperfect and gap fill with students selcting the correct verb in each line.

Used with year 11 french option group, goes with Expo 4 module 5 on timetable.

two different power points to teach simple vocabulary on pocket money

very simple ( used this along with echo 2 )

Used with a year 8 group to teach them the future, tried to offer slides and worksheets with this to get them thinking about the construction, rather than me telling them.

Lots of slides and two worksheets to build confidence on these two tenses for A* at GCSE and beyond. Highlighted opportunities on PPT for mini whiteboard practice, pair and share to help assess learning. two worksheets with grammar activities, French style!

This is a resource that I created to support my year 10 through the use of DOP. They are used to ' dodgy English' and I am sharing this as they enjoyed the activities and gave me good feedback ( it has helped them massively and they are now confident with those ), especially the translation which they used a learning and consolidating activity. I have in my free resources a Power Point you can also access to teach the initial stages and the words for the needed DOPS for these activities.

There are many ways to use this and I have explained on the worksheet. Students could dictate the text to each other to focus on spellings, then could mime and memorise ( talk for learning ) , translate and change the time frame of the text. Any feedback appreciated.

Just designed this for y11 but could be adapted for any year group , any age, the reconstruction of the song can be differentiated as I made it harder for A/A* candidates by cutting more bits of the song, whereas I did leave bigger blocks for C candidates.

To improve students' performance in speaking and writing by developing use of extended sentences

Just a bit of culture, watch the clips, use for dictation, translation of texts and to develop listening skills. I have put some vocabulary of the various steps of the lesson to help and also a simple writing frame on the last slide to support writing

designed to support KS4 students, can be used as a checklist to check work is up to standards and target grades. I have used it as a learning homework too.

Use this to challenge more able students

I have highlighted idioms in red and added subjunctives. Suitable for controlled assessments at GCSE but may be used at KS3 too on the topic of holidays. used it for learning and vocabulary tests, hence the numbers to make it easier to read and go through in lessons and set learning homework in sections

This is designed for an introduction to this tense with my year 8. We have used it before but we now need to understand how it works so students become independent in building and using this tense themselves. Any comments are welcome. The vowel gap fill activity can be used for pair work, for speaking and or writing. Students have to fill in the gaps ( stars ) with vowels only and then they could use the grid as support in speaking tasks. I hope this is useful to colleagues, I am sharing as it has been tried and tested many times .

This is to go along with Studio 2 , unit 2 , J'adore paris , hence the title and reinforces the activities in the En Plus section. I have made notes at the bottom of each slide which suggest activities for the slide and the aim of this activity is not only to guide students to use both tenses accurately but to also show them the importance of other grammatical aspects such as the use of time expressions, connectives and opinions, as well as sentence development.
