Resources that can be used for a lesson or two on Eurovision for a French class. Would work particularly well with Y9 and GCSE to get them using more interesting opinions but can be adapted for any year really. It’s good to use for Media/Culture topic (Music) and for writing with opinions. Tasks are differentiated throughout. I have used a variation of this resource many times over the last few years and just changed it each year to make it up to date, it has always gone down really well with students!

Countries match-up (English to French)

This is a ready to go differentiated lesson on sports, more suitable for KS3. I used this for an interview lesson (and got the job).
Included is the powerpoint presentation, a double sided stepped worksheet to use alongside the presentation and the lesson plan. Includes emphasis on using cognates and recognising false friends, a ‘spot the odd one out’ activity, battle ships, and encourages pupils to give opinions about sports with reasons.

This can make up a series of lessons about the Charlie Hebdo attacks of 2015 in Paris. More suited to KS4 and possible a more mature Year 9 group given the nature of the topic and the vocab used. The first few slides are a selection of starters using authentic materials that get pupils responding to images in a similar vain to the GCSE photocard. The lessons get pupils looking at current affairs but also looks at grammar, genuine quotes, and an article amongst other activities such as opinion lines.
My classes really found this topic interesting but it also pushed them in terms of language, vocabulary and grammar.
Alongside this Powerpoint I have also used the French Netflix documentary « Je suis Charlie » https://www.netflix.com/watch/80079253?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C1%2C491adc434dd06655319d9ea4a3625e6e22127a0d%3A5b75458081903e484cb2dc14579e901ead7c8d6c%2C%2C
WARNING: not all of this documentary is suitable for showing to students so make yourself aware of the sections that ought to be skipped before pressing play! Obviously as this is on Netflix it requires a subscription and for it not to be blocked on the school IT system.
Notes to teacher:
SENSITIVE SUBJECT MATTER: Please look through all powerpoint and be aware of sensitive nature of this topic and be mindful of your classes potential response before using.
