GCSE French edexcel foundation photocard practice school and work

Here are six planning sheets to get students to speak more spontaneously at foundation level so that they are not writing full sentences in the prep time on their CN2 form. Topics covered are: -part-time jobs -future job -when you have recently used a language -living and working abroad-an opinion -what you did at work recently -opinion on apprenticeship or university -a recent school trip -opinions on school subjects and sports at school -a school trip you would like to go on -a lesson that you have done recently -a sporting activity that you have done recently How I use this resource. I give students time to translate the bullet points and to write key words in each square. I give them key vocab to reinforce what they constantly forget or find hard. I would then read a question that matches the bullet point (I usually would make these up). I would then ask a student to give their answer. If the answer is good then on the smart board I write their name in the box. So if they answer describe the photo covering all parts of palms then their name goes in the first box. On each box to get their name in a box they must cover all of the prompts. I keep doing this repeatedly for about five minutes. Once all of the boxes have a name in then students can knock a student out of a box and replace it with their name. At the end of the five minutes all students with their name in the box get a house point.

A lesson which hopefully will revise many aspects of school life and help students to prepare for the photo card part of the speaking exam. The lesson materials are differentiated for foundation and higher students and can be used in a mixed ability/mixed tier class. The lesson includes revision of language to be used when describing a photo and revision of the present tense endings. There is also a differentiated worksheet for foundation and higher students which provides some support for understanding and structuring answers for the bullet points.

I made these planning sheets to try and encourage students to answer the bullet points at foundation tier with more spontaneity and to try and prevent students being reliant on full sentences (not allowed to be written on the CN2 form). My students have found these really useful as the pointers in English have helped them to answer the questions quicker, to say more and to be more accurate. I hope that you all find them useful too.
