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.

an updated version of one of my other resources with more work and references to the environment and its protection. more work with the imperative . I appreciate it may be hard for the primary curriculum but the references to the various websites may encourage research

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.

Le petit Nicolas book and grammar study

I am aware this may be challenging for KS3, however, used appropriately some parts of the book can be approached by top sets at this key stage. I recommend work on adjectives and look at family, school etc.. also for all key stages, you may want to focus on tenses, but better if you watch the movie as well , really great production and students can relate to this and the diary of a wimpy kid.

I designed this to go with Studio 2 Module 2 ( Rouge ) and this reinforces the vocabulary and grammar on verbs in the past tense that take je suis/ on est . This is for a year 8 middle to high ability and the slide with guided writing has colour coding for verbs stated in the outcomes ( most = pink verbs, some pink and blue verbs )

This is to help students to learn the good higher grages habits. the test sheet can be used as a starter activity, lesson by lesson, to support students in retaining and understanding how to extend and develop writing and speaking. The test sheet can also be used to help students adapt to their own sentences. My year 10s really found it useful, I hope you do too. !

using building blocks in order to develop speaking and writing, I have used and adapted the middle slides ( to be completed on mini whiteboards ) from a resource found on here and added learning outocmes and models for each level. Levels are referring to styles and levels of support used by students, rather than just using the tenses, I do explain that for level 5, a tense would be preferrable , like for a C at GCSE a tense or an attempt at it is preferred.

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.

This lesson plan i created for my year 11 option group and I hope it is useful to anyone on here who would like to use or tweak whatever. I will post more similar lesson plans but this depends on feedback so let me know what you think or if you found it useful ( or not !!! ) Merci a toutes et tous.

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.

I found this which I created about 4 years ago ! Thought I'd share this as it brings good memories of my previous school, summer periods and welcoming the year 6 in our mFL department. Please amend for your own use and do what you want with it, I used a mini soft ball as well etc.. card sort etc.. I have added the story, apologies for leaving it late for those who asked, you can exploit this in many ways, listening for gist then reading for gist etc..
