Nandos Takeaway Menu asks students to pick their own mini topics from a series of increasingly challenging options, giving them ownership. My most popular lessons!

Work and Education Bundle - Opinions on School Uniform, School Rules and Chores
prof_de_francaisprof_de_francais

Work and Education Bundle - Opinions on School Uniform, School Rules and Chores

(0)
A bundle of five slides, linked to the Work and Education module of the GCSE course. The first slide is a poster of rules from a French school. Students are asked to translate as many as possible a given time limit. Challenge is to think of any others that are not mentioned that students would expect to see in their own school. Forms a good basis for cultural discussion (for example in terms of uniform or how rules are phrased). The second slide presents two tables (24 items of vocabulary), drawing links between rules and uniform. The conditional tense is introduced alongside negatives and could easily be extended to forming the conditional and other negative forms. The third slide introduces positive and negative opinions about uniform, asking students to translate and categorise those given before forming their own for a debate / discussion on the fourth slide. The fifth slide lists excuses regarding household chores, asking students to translate those given and think of their own.

Starter bundle - Scrabble letters and Word Octogans

(0)
Excellent starter double-pack, easily amended for use time and time again with any year group. Learners are asked to form as many infinitives as they can in a given time limit using the Scrabble tiles in the first starter. Differentiated through forming the highest or lowest-scoring infinitive, through finding modal verbs, and through teacher support for the first examples and first letter of several other infinitives if necessary. Easily adapted to link to any area of the curriculum (not just verbs), and a great individual or pair whiteboard warm-up. Learners can work together, compete against each-other in groups, and can also be trained to think of their own objective (for example colours, French regions or connectives) using letters that they provide. Students also really enjoy 'beat the teacher' at this game - playing against you in the same time limit with letters that they have provided! The word octagon, based on the popular daily puzzle in The Times newspaper, asks learners to find the two adjectives within the shape, using the letter at the centre for each one and every other letter no more than once. Fabulous for engaging higher-order thinking skills. There are two octagons with two adjectives in on this slide. Again, very simply adapted.

Grammar - Tenses - Near (immediate) future
prof_de_francaisprof_de_francais

Grammar - Tenses - Near (immediate) future

(0)
Excellent resource, introducing the near future tense through the 'aller' song, with a clear table to demonstrate formation. Text message conversation between Simon and Carly of The Inbetweeners engages students and asks them to answer a series of questions designed to test their understanding of the tense. HA stretched through identification and translations of colloquialisms such as 'ma biche'. Mini-whiteboard translation activity follows to gauge understanding, and a plenary with 12 sentences to translate is the last slide. This can be printed, cut up, and used in a box as a 'Pass-the-Parcel' style game, learners could throw die to determine the phrase that they translate to their partner, or in any number of different ways. LA supported through use of lesson worksheet (print table on first slide for learners to complete), HA through extension with colloquialisms and perfect tense. Excellent for introduction at KS3 and for revision / review at KS4.

Excellent numeracy and cross-curricular links between MFL and maths. A great time saver, took an hour make and format! Can be adapted and used over and over again with different ages.

Assembly - Paralympic Games + Values

(0)
Paralympic Games Assembly, linked to values. Suitable for Primary and Secondary. Fully animated with links in 'Notes' section for assembly giver. 10 slides in total, referencing the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, the London 2012 Paralympic Games and the Rio 2016 Paralympic games. Easily adapted if required. The assembly begins by asking students to draw link between seven images - the official Paralympic mascots and logos for each of the games listed above, and the official logo for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games. Slide 2 explains who each of the mascots are to students, and asks students to consider which values each of these mascots have been designed to represent and how the artist has achieved this. With older year groups, students could be invited to reflect on a wider ranger of issues - do these mascots achieve their aims? If not, why not? Who are the mascots designed to appeal to and why? How could they be more effective if students consider that they are not currently? A little more information is then given about each mascot and the values they were designed to exemplify. Slides 3 and 4 link to Channel 4 Rio 2016 Paralympic Games trailer and ask students to consider which qualities they see represented in the trailer. Trailer is signed and subtitled. Slides 5 - 9 feature two embedded videos and questions / discussion points for interviews with Matt Stuzman (Team USA Archery, also known as the 'Armless Archer'), and an interview with Ibrahim Hamato (Team Egypt Table Tennis, the competitor that plays with his mouth). Slide 10 asks students what they can learn from assembly, whether they have been inspired in any way, and how they may incorporate one or more of the values they have seen embodied in clips into their days.
