This is a relatively recent song by Yannick Noah. I used it as a gap-filling listening activity. I'm sure it can be better exploited, so I welcome any ideas/improvements!

Objective: To explain why learning a language is important. Work on modal verbs. This presentation goes with Expo 3 Rouge, module 2, unit 4.

Crosswords to practise personality adjectives and adjective agreements. Students have to complete the sentences using the correct adjective with the correct adjective agreements. This gives them an opportunity to see these adjectives used in context and in idiomatic turns of phrase, which they can later reuse for a speaking or a writing activity. I used it at the beginning of Year 10 as an extension task while revising how to describe someone, but it could also be used in KS3 with a more advanced group.

Here's a guided worksheet to complete as you watch the movie. It focuses mainly on developing vocabulary and enhancing comprehension but can be supported by class discussion. The second worksheet is a follow-on from the booklet and gives students the opportunity to read a film review for 'Amélie', look at how to write a film review, and plan their own review. The level of difficulty is A2/B1, accessible for students who have been learning French for 2-3 years at least. It is a great opportunity for students to gain an insight into French culture. Watching the movie and completing the booklet would take up to 5-6 hours. The film review worksheet would take about an hour to complete and the review can be set as an assessed task or a homework.

This article looks at how certain French schools have started to allow students to smoke on the premises after the November terrorist attacks in Paris and the state of emergency, alleging that students would be safer smoking at school than outside. Ideal as a preparation for French B SL Paper 1 when covering the topic of health and smoking, or looking at current affairs. It could also match the difficulty of Text A in an HL paper. The questions are modelled exactly on the comprehension questions in the exam. Can be used for a mock exam or an end of unit assignment. Can also be used in class. I have included a markscheme at the end.

This booklet covers: - Parts of the body - Illnesses and injuries - Food and drinks - Healthy eating - Smoking and addictions - The partitive article - Past tense of reflexive verbs - The present participle/The gerund - The pronoun 'en' - The subjunctive in context - Modal verbs and modal expressions I have created this booklets for 3 of my year 10 students who are working at an advanced level. It covers advanced vocabulary and grammar and includes reading and writing exercises. It is designed so that students can work independently, with limited teacher support. It can also be used for IB/AS level or as cover work.

This resource booklet is perfect for students to conduct revision just before the exam. This booklet is designed for students to be able to work independently, but could also be used as cover work or directed revisions. It contains: - 2 vocabulary exercises (types of movies and hobbies) - 3 grammar reminders and tasks (direct object pronouns & the pronoun 'y'; the imperfect; and the perfect tense) - 2 listening exercises, modelled, as far as possible, on the IGCSE listening paper, but with authentic recordings (links to the recordings are on the sheet itself) - 1 reading exercise, modelled exactly on Paper 2 (last 2 texts) - 2 writing tasks, modelled exactly on Paper 4 (one short and one long) - a series of questions with model answers for students to practise the speaking exam.

This is a series of activities to guide the reading of Le Petit Prince. Each worksheet goes in pairs: the students' sheet and the teacher's notes. The focus of these worksheets is to help students understand the book, but also to develop their vocabulary and ability to write creatively in French. There is some literary analysis of the text to give students the opportunity to transfer the skills developed in English. There are also a few grammar exercises, based on the text (irregular plural of nouns and adjectives, adjective agreements and pronouns). This represents 3 - 4 weeks worth of work with students. At the end, I chose to show them the animation movie which came out in July 2015. I created this resource for my Year 12 French B Higher Level group, but I have also used it (with modifications) with my Year 11 advanced IGCSE group.

This worksheet looks at 2 very different songs, both on the topic of Friendship: Les copains d'abord (Georges Brassens) and L'Itinéraire (Bénabar). It is an excellent opportunity to develop the use of French slang (argot) and colloquialism, while looking at two different approaches to the concept of friendship. The first song may require some level of explanation as there are many cultural references that can be quite obscure to students but it is an absolute classic. Originally created for my year 12 French B Standard and Higher Level class, but can be adapted to AS/A levels, possibly even advanced (I)GCSE. I have included a suggested markscheme for the questions at the end of the document.

I created this reading comprehension for my advanced IGCSE group when we covered the topic of school and daily routines. The text is authentic and the questions mirror the type of questions asked in a French B Paper 1, so this text can also be used for a French B/AS level group.

This activity was created for IB French B HL for the topic ‘health’ and specifically smoking. The aim of this resource is look at how the tobacco industry build up brand images through advertising, cigarette packets, and other means. This activity contains some discussion points as well as resources, a reading comprehension (in the style of Paper 1) and a writing activity that encourages students to look at connectives and ways to express goal, consequence, cause, etc. in preparation for section B of Paper 2. This resource represents 2-3 lessons and contains a markscheme.

I created this listening activity to assess pupils at the end of module 2, expo 2 Rouge. The website will not let me upload the audio file, so feel free to PM me your email address and I will send it to you. The questions are in English but could easily be given in French.

Powerpoint presentation to go with Expo 1, module 4 Objectives: to be able to ask for directions and to be albe to give directions Presentation of new vocabulary + practise, leadiing up to final role play, which the pupils can model accroding to their ability.
