JC French to do list

I think we’re all a bit confused about what exactly we NEED to cover for the JC MFL exam in June. I’m just a teacher with no extra departmental or SEC insight but from looking at the LO this is the checklist I plan to use with my students to try best prepare them. It’s not exhaustive. If anyone has suggestions for other items they would include of leave out I’d love to hear them

Leaving Certificate French Comprehension Grammar Questions

Leaving Certificate French Comprehension Grammar Questions This powerpoint goes through how to recognise the different grammatical aspects which are asked in the LC HL comprehensions, what to write for your answer, and goes through all the questions from 2011-2022. It includes the question, the text, clues and the marking scheme, so that you can work through them together with your class. In LC HL French, each comprehension has a grammar question. This is worth 5 marks (1.25% each or 2.5% of your French grade for the two questions). It can ask you to find a particular tense, grammatical term, a synonym or what word ‘it’ is referring to, etc.

Worksheet would form the basis of one to two weeks classwork and homework depending on class.

Every year I do up an easy to view one year calandar, for which I’ve uploaded the base template. Onto this I add in any extra days off for my school’s students which are marked in green. Then I mark in, especially for 6th years, their revision plan for 5th year work along with when they will be tested on their revision. Very handy tool! Disclaimer: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the timetable but please check your own school’s calendar. Do not rely on it for dates when booking etc.

Junior Cycle Romeo and Juliet Act 2.

Powerpoints to walk you through teaching Romeo and Juliet to Junior Cycle students. These powerpoints are shorter than in Act 1 apart from the Balcony Scene hence the reduced rate. Given the short time frame of the Junior Cycle it is best to keep moving through less important scenes.
