Year 7 French
KS3 French
This 4 page resource can be helpful during the first week of the first term to settle and get to know your groups, especially where they are from different feeder primaries and you’re not sure what level of MFL they are coming in at.
It could also be useful for when groupings/sets are still changing in the second or third week of the first term…yes this does happen…
For lower ability pupils offer a choice of which page to start first as the first is a bit wordy! Space to add the name of your school. For differentiation ideas, try putting French words jumbled up on the board (bonjour/au revoir etc.) or famous French people. Ask higher ability children to write a mini paragraph about themselves using personal information and so on.
Here is the Spanish version:
/teaching-resource/year-7-first-spanish-lesson-11976564
Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Dd3ZeDVL0 for the song. Fold song lyrics under or cover first couple of times through. Promotes discussion of French studying English and stereotypes!
*Note* the preview doesn’t show some symbols/text correctly!
A self-contained lesson covering reading/writing/speaking/listening (if you want to do all four skills in one lesson!) for the first page of this unit. It can be used on its own as an introduction to the unit, or as consolidation if you’ve already introduced the vocabulary and structures. Built-in differentiation and instructions on how you could use each slide.
If you are technically minded, you can make the powerpoint automatically change date in Spanish each time you open it. Type “How to Insert the Current Date/Time in Microsoft PowerPoint” to find out how to do it. (Not allowed exernal links on here.)

If you are technically minded, you can make the powerpoint automatically change date in Spanish each time you open it. Try typing “How to Insert the Current Date/Time in Microsoft PowerPoint” into Google which should show you places to find out how to do it. (Not allowed external links here.)
Numbers/places in town/character adjectives: French basics revision.
Harking back to the FCSE. This was a handy sheet for level 4 revision… Now it would serve well as a good cover sheet if groups have covered the vocab’ I’ve put in the title. Even if they haven’t it would be a good dictionary worksheet for cover. Year 8 and possibly lower ability year 9.
Simple introduction to basic food stuffs. Includes vocab’ and pictures, a noughts and crosses and an activity you could use to match pictures and words if the pictures were cut out and mixed up. Suits Year 7 or low ability.
Spanish Writing Assessment Preparation
KS3 Year 7
This resource comprises simple preparation with a framework for the first half term writing assessment over three pages.
How could I use this?
Use the first draft by translating the text above each line.
Next use the box to write their own version, changing the underlined words. Watch out for pitfalls e.g. masc/fem adj. endings etc.
Encourage superlearners to add more detail and all pupils should use the assessment criteria at the bottom to understand what they should be doing.
Use the second sheet once you’ve marked the first to improve/correct. Take this one home to learn.
The third sheet is the actual assessment.
