Ma ville et ma maison - French GCSE A Knowledge Organiser (KO) in the form of a parallel text about someone’s city and home. Designed to expose students’ to many of the key vocabulary items from the AQA GCSE Specification (Home, Town, Neighbourhood and Region section - e.g. verbs like déménager) and to provide useful recyclable structures and phrases. Google ‘Michaela French Knowledge Organisers’ for some ideas about what to do with this kind of parallel text. Had a productive couple of lessons with my GCSE class exploiting this text, all with minimum teacher preparation (apart from writing the text!) e.g. You can use it for pronunciation practice/awareness: I got pupils focussing on the recurring [ɛ] and [ɑ̃] in the first few paragraphs. They had to listen and highlight the text, then I re-read the text with pupils putting hands up when they heard the sound. Then they had a go in pairs. Then we did some work on the vocabulary. Listening activities too where I changed parts of the text and pupils had to identify what had changed. Then they had a go at adapting parts of the text and combining words and phrases from it to make their own paragraphs. Includes editable PPT version and a PDF version.

Side 1 contains three tables (one for AR, one for ER, one for IR verbs) of common holidays-related verbs (e.g. nadar, etc). The tables have four more columns in which to write in the (first person singular only) preterite, present, future and conditional forms of each verb. Some are already filled in, which gives the students a guide to how to fill in the rest. (There is another version of this containing all the answers which you could project on to the board for pupils to check their answers.) Side 2 is for reference. It contains all the regular verb endings for AR, ER and IR verbs in the present, preterite and future tenses. There are also notes about irregular verbs and stem-changing verbs.
