Authentic French reading/translation with parallel text - My Childhood Town / Where I used to live

I wrote this text myself in French and accompanied it with the parallel English text. I use it to introduce and revise topic vocabulary (Where I used to live when I was younger / my childhood town). The line numbers are great for reading for gist and specific information and you can also play many games to introduce and consolidate vocabulary and structures. Amusez-vous bien! You could also use it as the basis for a comprehension activity, a translation

A ready-made 'outstanding' lesson teaching six key weather phrases and learning how to use them in extended sentences using the connective 'cuando'. This lesson has been proven to foster extremely high levels of engagement through its excellent visual and auditory resources. Powerpoint, card sort, gap-fill and lesson plan included. This could be used with a beginners' class in KS3 or even with a GCSE group as revision for the speaking/writing exam. *Link to the YouTube song is on the ppt.

GCSE French Reading Images Photo/Picture Card Discussion Speaking (Differentiated)

This is a skills-based resource to begin to prepare pupils for’ photocard/picture-based discussions. I have used it successfully with Y8-Y10 (Outstanding observation awarded) but I am sure it could also work with higher ability Y7s and lower ability Y11s. I have charged for this as it took an significant amount of time to ensure that all lesson parts link perfectly. There are also SMSC/cultural links and opportunities for individual, pair, group and class work without a second of class time wasted.
