I use this over 2-3 lessons at the end of the year with KS3. The idea is that they analyse a script in French, rehearse and perform it in groups. It incorporates dictionary skills and drama. I use it as an excuse to go outside to perform at the end of the year. Used with four different groups of various abilities- all have been engaged. There are easier and more difficult scripts to choose from.

A simple reading exercise where pupils must draw the objects in the correct place. However, you might want to extend the text - my year 7s finished it a lot more quickly than I thought.

To be used with my high ability year 8s tomorrow - will update how it went. Pupils compete in teams to put Wizzard's 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday' into French with a few tricks and treats along the way. I didn't update last year - it went well. They were far keener on the sabotages of other teams than taking any boosts!

To go with Module 3, Unit 2. Various activities that build up to a writing.
