La Coupe du Monde 2018 Resources Product Description. I have planned this lesson not only to teach vocabulary and facts about football and the World Cup 2018, but also to help the students to respond creatively to their learning and hopefully share their passion for football! The PowerPoint uses matching cards, colourful pictures and animations and YouTube extracts set to music to inspire the students. It is planned to use with students from Years 6-9 (the final task is very open-ended). Slide 2 states the objective: Objectif: To learn about Le Football & La Coupe du Monde 2018 and to respond creatively to your learning. All: Will learn vocabulary and facts and use them to create an acrostic or a calligramme. Most: Will learn and research vocabulary and facts and use them to create an acrostic or a calligramme. Some: Will learn and research vocabulary and facts and use them to create a poem. Slide 3 has a YouTube link to follow to use with the attached worksheet: https://youtu.be/uC14iKFNwIc . This uses the official FIFA promotional video and the students tick the countries they see. The worksheet is differentiated with an Extra! challenge. The answers are on the next PowerPoint slide. Slide 5 introduces key vocabulary and can be used with the matching cards. The students should work in pairs/ groups to match the vocabulary and the picture using their previous knowledge, cognates and a process of elimination. Vocabulary: Le joueur de foot Le gardien de but L’arbitre Le stade Le ballon de foot La coupe Un drapeau Une équipe Un carton jaune Le terrain de foot Un maillot de foot Des chaussures de foot The activity is differentiated as follows: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! (Here the students quiz each other: French to English, English to French, spellings, accents……). Slides 6 to 17 show each word and the matching picture and colourful animations. Slide 18 has all the pictures for a quick recap. Then there is graded questioning: Slides 19 to 30 have A, B, C multiple choice questions. Slides 31 to 44 are “What’s missing?” slides. Then slide 45 has a YouTube link to the France 2018 Promo video and students should note down new nouns and adjectives expressing the emotions they see and feel (if they don’t know the French they can grab a dictionary later!) The creative challenges are presented on slides 45 and 46, this is to either create an acrostic, a calligramme or a poem (there is a poem template provided). This information is also on the accompanying worksheets. Slide 47 provides the opportunity for reflection. I really hope you and your students enjoy these resources!

This PowerPoint should be used in conjunction with the French - English matching cards (which can then be used for revision in the next lesson). The PowerPpoint elicits the formation of the Present, Perfect and Future Passive Voice. Examples of phrases on cards: Les émigrés sont souvent exclus. Immigrants are often excluded. Les papiers sont signés. The documents are signed. Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!

These matching cards can be used either to elicit numbers, fractions and statistics or to revise previous learning. It can be used at the beginning of the year or throughout the year as a warmer/ starter activity. Expressions: Une moitié. Un tiers. Un/une sur dix. Virgule. Un quart. La majorité Mille. Un million. Un milliard. Quinze virgule six pourcent. Une quinzaine de jours You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French. Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!

Expressions taught: Il faut arriver à l’heure. Il ne faut pas laisser son portable allumé. Il ne faut pas manger en classe. On ne doit pas courir dans les couloirs. On ne doit pas fumer à l’intérieur. Il ne faut pas porter de bijoux. Il faut respecter les profs et les autres élèves. Il faut faire ses devoirs regulièrement. Il faut apporter un mot d’absence signé par les parents. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slides.

I noticed that some of my GCSE students weren't spotting the synonyms that would help them to answer their Listening and Reading Exam questions and made these cards. The students have to group the cards together sometimes in pairs, others in groups of 3 or more. Expressions: Les voitures Les véhicules Les autos Les déchets Les papiers Les ordures Les détritus La capitale française Paris Beaucoup de gens Beaucoup de personnes Beaucoup de monde Travail Emploi Métier Carrière (technically not a synonym of the previous 2, but links to the topic). Je garde les enfants Je fais du baby-sitting Conduire Rouler Réduire Diminuer La flore L’herbe Des plantes Les arbres et les fleurs La faune Les animaux En fin de semaine Le week-end Se reposer Se détendre Se relaxer Le transport en commun Le réseau de bus urbain Les jeunes Les adolescents Following checking there is afun games to play which I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students spread out the cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French cards first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. For Quick Fire Questions the students test each other on the days of the week French to English, English to French, spellings etc. Use the second slide to drill the days of the week (I often sing the days to the tune of The Flintstones!) and for your own quick fire questions. Then click on the links to the fabulous free website www.classtools.net where you will find a "random name picker". Instead of names I have written the days of the week in French. The students pair up. I hit the "click to spin" button and they race to correctly translate the day that the picker lands on to win a point. This is lots of fun, is v competitive and can be loud (if your class is quite loud normally, follow this with a settling activity, alternatively tell them to whisper the answer to each other so they don't help out other classmates!). The link below takes you to the English version where the students must say the French. Enjoy!

Spanish PowerPoint introducing school subjects. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. To break up the presentation (there is a lot of vocab!) there is then a slide with pictures of the new vocabulary thus far. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Then more vocabulary is introduced followed by graded questioning. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide could be used to play a revision Beat The Teacher game during the next lesson.
