List of interesting idioms of more able students. They first need to work out the literal meaning of these phrases and then find out the meaning or an equivalent idiom in English. I matched this exercise to the topic Hobbies and Free Time, but of course it can go with any other topic.

IGCSE extended topic booklets for independent study

5 Resources
I have created these booklets for my year 10 students who were taking their IGCSE in French a year early, so they could work independently while I taught the rest of the class. These booklets are designed to revise the main vocabulary, introduce extended vocabulary through a variety of exercises, revise key grammar points (main tenses, pronouns, etc) as well as introduce more advanced grammar (clauses with 'si', the subjunctive, etc). They also provide opportunities for reading and writing exercises. These booklets can also be used as a teaching aid, revision aid or for cover work. Each booklet takes roughly 4-5 hours to complete, if done carefully. I have also included a speaking booklet for students to prepare for their speaking exams.

Les clauses avec 'si' --> Grammar worksheet linked to the topic of the Environment (Standard Level)

(0)
This worksheets offers students the opportunity to revise the formation of the imperfect, the simple future and the conditional, which they often confuse. It then explains 3 structures with 'si': - Si + present + future: Si le gouvernement ne met rien en place, les températures vont continuer d’augmenter. - Si + imperfect + conditional: Si le gouvernement ne mettait rien en place, les températures continueraient d’augmenter. - Et si + imparfait? : Et si les températures continuaient d'augmenter? There are 2 practise exercises (gapfill and fairly substantial translation exercise) for students to practise. Examples and exercises are all based on the topic of the environment and therefore provide students with the opportunity to revise the basic vocabulary on this topic. It can be used along with the same worksheet I have uploaded for Higher Level if you wish to differentiate the lesson.
