Huge time saver! Incredibly useful! Took a day to make! Can be printed as individual A4 pages (or blown up into A3) for French 'Word Wall' display. Very useful to direct students to for help with their own work and to encourage independent learning and flow. Can also be printed as an A4 or A5 booklet for students to have an individual copy for reference in class and at home. Created as when directing students to dictionaries to help source their own verb conjugations, confusion would often ensue as no English translations / pointers on when to use each tense were given to help students who were unsure. Really helps to drive independence and so helpful when teaching as time can be spent supporting LA / pushing HA when circulating, rather than having to constantly be translating verbs to help students continue with their work. 30 pages in total. Verb tables - 24 pages! Present, perfect, imperfect, near future, simple future and conditional tenses for 12 key verbs in French and in English. Definition of when to use each tense also given on each verb table to help student understanding. Connectives - 3 pages. English and French translations given. Separated into different tables of connectives to use with any tense, the present tense, the perfect tense, the imperfect tense and finally the near future, simple future and conditional tenses. Opinions - 1 page. Postive and negative opinions given in French and in English. Ways to introduce points of view also given in table to help students extend and vary communication.

A useful worksheet to use following partner or group work on a project, asking students to reflect honestly on their teamwork skills and identify an area for improvement. Two sheets of A4 in total, guiding students through types of behaviour that may have hampered their efforts, identify the qualities that are desirable in a group situation, recognise if there were leaders in their group, and provide advice for their group and the teacher for next time. A Plenary Triangle completes the reflection, asking students to identify one positive area of their group work, one positive area of their presentation and one area to improve next time. Much more effective than just providing teacher feedback! Very insightful to use with students to help train them into excellent team members.
