I prepared these 2 lessons as revision classes for my Year 7s before their Easter Assessment. They were given the worksheets which they had to fill in as they went. Starters include numeracy. It took my about 4 hours to do everything (I'm an NQT), so any comments / feedback would be welcome.

This is an alternative form of support to a writing frame. I use the writing frame for less able students, and the pyramid for middle ability students. It is easily adaptable to any topic.

Test with several regular RE verbs. I had asked them to learn vendre, descendre and attendre and the endings.

A few slides to practise using more verb structures. I gave them 3 or 4 minutes per slide before going through the answers with them. It is didactic but they make useful notes and as a follow-up homework, I asked them to write 2 of their own examples for each structure.

Speaking: Students have to use je vais / je suis and make full sentences with au / à la / a l' / aux. Also: helpsheet and test for the following week.
