Colourful Semantics adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions and negatives pack!
What’s included in this pack?
15 conjunction cards (coordinating and subordinating)
18 modal verb cards, including negatives
54 adjective cards
9 preposition cards
36 adverb and fronted adverbial cards
Adjectives: The purple ‘describe’ cards are the adjectives in a sentence. An adjective is a describing word. The ‘describe’ card can be placed at different points to describe different words in the sentence. Various strips are included.
Adverbs:
Adverbs are words that change verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They can modify (or change) a verb by making it more precise. This pack includes adverbs, fronted adverbials and prepositions.
Conjunctions:
Conjunctions are used to join two clauses or expand an idea. This pack contains both coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
Negatives:
This pack includes modal verbs to show how possible something is, or how likely it is to happen/have happened. The cards help children learn how to indicate degrees of possibility and how to use them correctly in language.
The cards can also be used to help children learn to form questions by inversion. For example:
Statement = She can go to the park.
Question = Can she go to the park?
These cards are designed to be used in conjunction with the Colourful Semantics starter pack (stages 1-4), which can be purchased here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/colourful-semantics-starter-pack-12121851

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practicing teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be).
ALL my postings are FULLY "classroom-tested" - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximize their effectiveness. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.

I noticed that students are often confused with the grammatical terminology in French and make mistakes such as useing adjectives instead of adverbs. Hence this interactive PPT presentation on Prepositions, conjunctions and adverbs in French will clarify the function of each category and will help them with sentence building . Some gap-filling exercises provide students with practice.
This is suitable for intermediate and advanced learners of French.
This was originally intended to go with expo 1 and is a simple introduction to French prepositions using pictures of a cat as a memory aid. I have found year 7 classes responded well to this and liked the cat theme! On the slide with a grid of 6 numbered pictures I have played pass the parcel. I put lots of scraps of paper with the numbers 1-6 in a box and pass it round the room to French accordian music. When the music stops the pupil holding the box pulls out a nuber and has to say the relevant French sentence. Works a treat every time!
Please leave feedback :)
My children have been finding conjunctions really challenging in the run up to SATs, so I have taken some time to create a 'conjunction afternoon' where children will attempt 5 different activity to boost their understanding. I have ran this activity as a round robin, where children were in 5 groups. I have looked over a selection of previous SATs papers and identified there were 5 different types of questions which they were likely to face:-
1) Identify conjunctions within sentences
2) Identify whether a word is a subordinating or coordinating conjunction
3) Identify whether a word is a subordinating conjunction or a preposition
4) Write conjunctions in their own sentences
5) Complete sentences using suitable conjunctions
I have developed 5 activities for the children to complete and there is also a very detailed powerpoint with mini activities on to ensure children understanding the basis of conjunctions before they complete the activities.
