Middle school French resources: social issues

Here are 4 GCSE exam-style photocards linked to: fashion (Plus size models), environment (recycling); poverty (homelessness) and second-hand smoking.

Three sets of writing papers, following the new French GCSE specification (AQA). Each individual set includes two papers (foundation and higher) covering one of the three themes (Identity and culture, Local, regional, international and global areas of interest and Current and future study and employment), as well as an overview of the requirements of the exam and a foundation and a higher "check list" to provide the students with quick, personalised feedback for each question.

Two practice writing papers (one foundation, one higher) following the format of the new GCSE writing exam, and focusing on the topics covered in Theme 2. The foundation paper includes four questions (describe the photo, 40 words question, translation and 90 words question) and the higher paper includes three (90 words question, 150 words question and translation). I have also included two feedback sheets (one foundation, one higher) that include"check-lists" (based on the AQA mark scheme for writing) to provide quick, personalised feedback for each of the questions. The check lists provide the students with feedback on what went well (WWW) and what they need to do to improve further (TIF).

Lesson with differentiated activities throughout. This is lesson 2 on the environment topic that I have covered with my class. Lesson 1 is available on the TES. Students will cover some present tense with je and nous and some negations. There is also a game ( blind noughts and crosses) and the starter task is a practice for the picture based discussion /or photo task on the foundation writing paper. Every tasks are linked to GCSE grades and there are mini-plenaries to check student's progress.

Lesson 1: AQA mark scheme is analysed by students before attempting a GCSE style task. Students are given the choice between a foundation task and a higher task. Students are given 30 minutes to complete the task and they then peer-assess each other using the AQA mark scheme printed for them. Lesson 2 : Improving writing skills. Students reflects on WWW/EBI of their writing task. I have then created examples of answers for grades 1/ 3 / 5 for the foundation task and grades 5 / 7 / 9 for the higher task. Students have to complete a range of activities on the model answers. They need to identify key elements in each answer and they have to grade each of the model answers justifying their grading. After students have understood the success criteria they have to design their own model answer to the writing task. All activities are done in ability groups. Answers created in groups should then be peer- assessed by another group. teacher to photocopy and give exemplar model answer to all students ( once it has been marked ).
