Sociopolitical Opinion Texts + Grammar Noticing + Teacher-led Listening Cloze (Editable Word + English support) A 13-page “Lire pour écrire” resource built around high-frequency, exam-useful French for sociopolitical opinion topics. Students work with a bank of model paragraphs (e.g. violence, mental health, climate change, social media, racism, equality, war, migration, AI in education, fast fashion) and complete structured activities that move from comprehension to manipulation and production (EPI/Conti-style recycling and drilling). Includes: Model opinion texts with a reusable argument structure (intro → causes/effets → solutions/mesures → conclusion) Comprehension questions + synonym/connector mining (premièrement / deuxièmement / évidemment / pour conclure, etc.) Grammar noticing tasks: futur simple; Si + imparfait + conditionnel (with reflection on structure/syntax) Sentence work: mixed-up sentences (reordering), matching sentence halves, decoding activities Teacher-led listening cloze pages (“Écoutez et remplissez les trous”) using the same narrow-reading texts A bank of idioms/proverbs for richer expression English support glosses where needed (resource remains overwhelmingly target-language based) Formats: editable Word document (easy to adapt, re-order, and differentiate). Best for: upper-secondary / senior cycle French, opinion writing preparation, oral discussion scaffolding, and retrieval practice lessons. Note: Works best when students have already met and recycled many of the key chunks earlier in 5th year; it also works well as a targeted revision/extension pack.

This resource is a fully editable EPI-style spiral pack on Mi ciudad / mi pueblo / mi barrio, designed for mixed-ability classes with a progression from very accessible input/processing tasks to more challenging structured output and extension activities. It includes a fully editable PPTX, bilingual translation tasks (English–Irish) suitable for both Irish-medium and English-medium contexts, plus Narakeet-created audio to support listening-first routines. Important: This is not a scripted “teach-from-the-slide” unit. A basic familiarity with EPI/Conti-style classroom routines (e.g., listening as modelling, narrow reading, sentence-builder use, receptive processing games, and structured speaking tasks) is recommended so you can select and sequence activities appropriately for your group.

A set of highly comprehensible activities mostly based on obligation, prohibition and permission in La Casa de Bernarda Alba. Lots of speaking games in pairs or groups to practise modal verbs and connectives. MFL is obligatory at Leaving Cert level in Ireland so these resources are very much geared towards mixed-ability groups, rather than A-Level Spanish classes. They are designed to encourage oral expression about the text rather than essay-writing.
