Two worksheets aimed at beginner year 7 French on the topic of family and introducing the vocab for family members. The grammar focus is on mon/ma and j’ai to form sentences. There are optional challenge questions but the idea would be that students could complete this work independently and without too much support. It would be good for homeowrk, to send home to complete or for when you need a quiet 20 minutes in class for whatever reason! I have aimed this a middle ability set. The first sheet is to build up from single items of vocab (family members) to sentences then on to a short paragraph. The idea is they will make fewer mistakes with writing as it is very scaffolded. The second sheet is reading comprehension with the aim of them being able to use the reading to help them write their own piece using ideas taken from the examples they read.

A series of activities designed to get students to be able to answer a question on the tricky topic of environment. Starts with single words into and from French and builds up to sentences. Work follows on an example answer for a 90 word question and then students write their own after picking out chunks and phrases from the example. A 150 word writing is the final task. On 4 sides so can be printed easily two pages to a side and on reverse to save paper!

Easy Spanish worksheet to support students writing a short paragraph describing a friend, including desde hace and a description. Starts with vocabulary to fill in then works on sentences on the first sheet. On the second sheet there is an example paragraph with a gapped translation and phrases to find which will support students in writing their own version. This scaffolded sheet should support students to work from words up to a paragraph with minimal teacher input so could be used for cover, homework or simply for when you need students to be able to work independently in class. I made the sheet for my Foundation GCSE class (who need support and don’t like too much challenge) but it could be used with confident near beginners too.

Finally students write their own 90 word piece using what they have learnt and can move on to 150 words.
