I have tried numerous ways of explaining the past tense and there are some great resources on the TES for tutorials and activities. However I could not find an easy to follow handout covering everything there is to know about the passé composé, that was straight forward and fitted on 2 pages (either for double sided copies or 2 A5 on an A4 landscape way). Anyway, I ended up making my own and I hope you find it useful too ☺ I usually do whole class examples and later use mini whiteboards for individual practice.

First (couple of) lesson(s) on talking about your town (Y7) . Covers: Type of town Places in town There is/n’t any… + There is neither… nor… Things you can do in your town Whether you like you town because of what there is and what you can do Include translation text and writing task. Based on Mira 1 but mostly my own thing. Handout is the first and second (hidden) slides

Quick overview of present tense with -er verbs as well as faire and mettre (1st and 3rd person only). Includes a booklet type worksheet to accompany the lesson.

Here is a complete set of French display resources that I have either created or collected then adapted covering mostly grammar and literacy (some not shown on picture as they are in different parts of my classroom). It took me a few days to put together so I hope it saves you time and is useful to your students. The tenses on the time line are colour coded with the tenses explanation (past tenses in blue, present in red and future tenses in green). Everything is either powerpoint or word documents so you can edit them to suit your needs best.

Super simple powerpoint teaching the 12 hour clock in French step by step. O’clock first then minutes past then minutes to. True/false and fill the gaps activities to consolidate. Accompanying worksheet for students to take notes. Sets of worksheets for practice (one being at the end of the powerpoint). This has helped many of my students to also read an analogue clock! NB: VI N24 means the work waqs modified for out visually impaired students in Arial font 24 bold. Please review/comment if it helped you :)

Powerpoint teaching students to understand and build up a conversation at the doctor. Starter: X/O on pains and ailments. Main: Using a conversation as an example, focus on the different parts adding vocab/grammar (pouvoir, depuis, passé compose, il faut). Parts of the conversation then disappear to give place to generic instructions for students to adapt for their own role play (I use finger/hand puppets). I don't make students write anything, just give them a copy of the important slides on one handout so they spend less time copying and more time using/manipulating the language

Simple display with the acronym PALMS and 2 different layout to help remind students of what to include when describing a photo

A hopefully inspiring display board to help your students change their mindset. As backing paper I used brick effect wallpaper from a DIY shop

I had to design an activity/revision booklet for a student who was excluded internally for quite a long time. However, I also use it as a workbook in my lessons, as homework or as catch-up if anyone was absent. It covers pretty much every sub-topics of ‘School and Future Plans’. It is very mixed ability as I have only one group of students with predicted grades ranging from 2 to 8 in a school where languages are compulsory so it will be up to you to fit in extra practice from textbooks or tailor your feedback to stretch the more able in the mini tasks. This should take 5-6 hours to complete. Please let me know what you think.

KS3 presentation aimed at Y8 students to describe and explain whether they think they have an active lifestyle. The presentation uses basic activities with je joue/je fais then helps the students improve their writing by adding frequencies, negative structures (ne…pas/jamais) and opinion infinitive phrases. Finally we look at 2 sample answers (active and not active lifestyles) where a typical basic answer has been improved. We discuss these improvements (underlined in texts) and students can then write their own answers. First slide is hidden and would be printed as a handout.
