Batman describes a trip to Paris, using both the Imperfect and Perfect Tenses. Text is followed by True / False comprehension questions in French, explanation and exemplification of the use of the two tenses, plus three writing tasks for pupils to choose from. (I've now uploaded a second version of this with a small typo corrected.)

35 authentic images and short texts with questions in English. Created for a revision-averse Year 11 group but will work as a starter for other students.

Reading comprehension activity. I have jumbled up an account of the plot of Mr Bean's holiday. Students have to read the eight mini-texts and put them in the correct order. Helpful, but not absolutely essential, to have seen the film. I have provided a solution and the original text. As a follow-up students could put the text into the first person or into the past tense or both.

Interactive multiple-choice revision exercise. The file will display a different selection of 35 words each time it is opened and will also shuffle the multi-choice answers each time it is opened.

Powerpoint story in which Bella from the 'Twighlight' series describes a typical day. The text appears slowly, giving students time to read and work out the meanings.
