French Past Tense Holiday - Higher Directed Writing

Directed Writing Helpbook contains 14 pages of phrases covering all possible bullet points for the Directed Writing element of the Higher exam plus 2 pages of practice questions. When printed out the booklet has the phrases in French and space for the pupils to translate into English.
Directed Writing Helpbook Completed has the English translations so could be given simply as a vocabulary resource but I have used this version to display the translations on the Smartboard.
Directed Writing Practice Translations contains English texts which are designed as an introduction to putting the writing together using phrases found in the Helpbook. Pupils may have to make some minor alteration to gender, pronouns, verb endings.
Directed Writing Practice Solutions are the French translations, based on the Helpbook, of the above.
I have found this to be a really useful resource over the past couple of years and it has had good results. I have mostly set it as homework and revised in class but it also lends itself well to group work. It not only builds vocabulary but enhances translation and dictionary skills.
