Used with an Asset Spanish class, so is fairly basic. Would probably be OK for KS3 or a Foundation GCSE group. Read descriptions of people's jobs/where they work, and match with job titles previously learned.

Pupils have learned various shops/key buildings in down. Pupils have learned some basic directions and prepositions. In pairs - one person has the map, other person has a copy of the directions. Map-holder asks Qs (see top-right of page) and partner reads from the directions. Map-holder fills in empty boxes on map. Extension for those who finish first - add in some other places and write sentences describing their location.

Pupils use cognates/prior knowledge/process of elimination to match the French and English timephrases and place them on the timeline. Used alongside work on perfect tense.

Foundation level reading activity. Account of a weekend. Perfect tense. Leisure activities, cinema.

Pupils had covered perfect tense during module on hobbies/leisure in the previous term but had had a bit of a break from it. Used quiz to get them thinking about it again and prepare to apply it to the current topic. Could use to test how much they remember, or let them use their exercise books (opportunity for them to evaluate how good their note-taking is and if their books will help them revise).

Perfect tense with avoir. Regular and irregular verbs. Settling starter worksheet.

Exercises to practise correct use of negatives with verbs in the perfect tense.

Recognition of differences between perfect and present tenses (a basis for discussion/questioning when going through answers). Extension gets pupils to apply this knowledge and use the perfect tense.

Pupils work out new vocab using cognates and process of elimination. Then checked answers via powerpoint or Taskmagic game. Later in lesson gave list of French vocab for them to fill in English (recording vocab but also a test of what they've learned).

Comprehension Qs then find various features, in an account of work placement. Produced for a high ability Year 10 group.

I think I may have adapted the text from something found on here so if you recognise it as your own, many thanks. :)
