I have made this series of resources to help the students to understand the excitement, challenges, history and prestige of this incredible event and to teach them facts and vocabulary associated with Le Tour De France. It features YouTube videos, colourful slides, dominoes and a plenary board game. The second slide states: Objectif: To to learn facts and vocabulary related to the Le Tour de France. it is divided into All, Most and Some. Slide 3 acts as both the lesson hook and the warmer task: the students watch the fantastic DailyMotion (French version of YouTube) video (6 mins) showing highlights of the 2015 Tour and note down any facts and French vocabulary they already know. Slide 4 gives instructions on how to use the dominoes whereby the students match the 2 halves of sentences about Le Tour. There are also dominoes in English to support younger/weaker students: All : Put the English and French dominoes into the correct order. Most : AND Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some : AND Quick Fire Questions! * Here the students quiz each other about the phrases: French to English, English to French, spellings…. Extra Challenge: Don’t use the English dominoes and translate the French! Examples of dominoes phrases: Il y a 21 étapes réparties sur une période de 23 jours. La course couvre près de 3 500 kilomètres. Le coureur avec le meilleur temps total est le leader de la course et porte le maillot jaune. Slides 5 to 16 reveal the answers. The students will now watch an excellent 10 minute YouTube video explaining the Tour de France. This has brilliant graphics, but the narration is in English so I have written a worksheet with 17 multiple choice questions in French. Examples: 1. 3500 kilomètres est approximativement la distance entre New York et… A. Chicago. B. Las Vegas. C. Los Angeles. 6. Les courses de nuit ont été abandonnées à cause… A. du danger. B. de la tricherie. C. du froid. To prepare thoroughly I first instruct the students to work in teams to translate the questions. The answers are on the first two pages of the worksheet. Slide 18 has the board game which you should print off. Also in the resources are templates for dice and a cyclist template which the students can colour in and use as their counter. There are a series of multiple choice question cards to print off which cover all the information taught in the lesson. The students should answer the question correctly before being allowed to shake the die. Weaker students could be shown the questions (covering the answer below) and you may allow them to translate the question and possible answers into English together too. Slide 19 allows time for reflection.

This PowerPoint presentation presents adjectives (mainly colours) to describe pets. Vocabulary presented: amarillo/a, atigrado/a, azul, blanco/a, dorado/a,gris, marrón, negro/a, rojo/a, verde, grande & pequeño/a. The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. The final slide has pictures of all the new vocabulary where you can pounce on unsuspecting students and ask ¿Qué es? This slide can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! (as can slide 14) The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Enjoy!

These resources are designed to give the students a taste of the thrilling Le Mans ambience and an appreciation of the prestige, dangers and challenges of the event!

Most: Will learn 9 new facts and French words/ phrases. Some: Will learn 10+ new facts and French words/ phrases. Slide 3 is the warmer and lesson hook. It asks : Qu’est-ce que c’est Les 24 Heures du Mans? There is then a link to the fantastic 1 mins 25 sec trailer for The Journey to Le Mans. The students can then share facts and French vocabulary which they already know. The students then match 9 x English- French cards with facts about Le Mans e.g. Les 24 Heures du Mans sont une course automobile d'une durée de 24 heures. Le Mans est dans le département de la Sarthe en France. La première course s’est déroulée en 1923. Elle est une des courses les plus prestigieuses au monde. Slides 5-11 allow you to run through the information on the cards and elicit the English. Slide 12 links to the worksheet in the resources. The students match French-English vocabulary: 1. Un mécanicien 2. Le podium 3. Un accident 4. Un casque 5. Le coucher du soleil 6. Le lever du soleil 7. Le drapeau à damier 8. Une voiture hybride 9. Un pneu 10. La nuit They then watch the Michelin 2015 Le Mans Highlights (3 minutes 14 secs), ticking the vocabulary they see (I’ve added a couple of additional words to the worksheet). The extension task is to list other things they see. Slide 14 is to be used with the (more detailed) support sheet. It sets out the final creative task: All: You are a Le Mans racing driver! Write a poem/ account of your 24 hours at Le Mans! You may wish to use the suggested template below: Il est 14h59. J’attends. Je suis prêt/ prête. Je suis calme. (time + verb + adjective) Il est 15h00. Le Tricolore! On commence! Je suis confiant/ confiante. Je suis fier/ fière. Il est 22h00. Le coucher du soleil….. Most: Build in negatives e.g. je ne dors pas. Some: Build in: adverbs e.g. parfois and toujours… connectives e.g. et, mais, cependant… other tenses e.g. je voudrais + infinitive. The final slide then gives the opportunity for reflection. I hope you enjoy using these resources!

This presentation presents household chores in the present tense in Spanish. Phrases: Hago la cama. Barro el patio. Cocino/ preparo la cena. Hago la compra. Friego los platos. Arreglo mi dormitorio. Pongo/ quito la mesa. Lavo el coche. Saco la basura. Paso la aspiradora. Plancho. The first slides have each chore in Spanish with a picture. The teacher should use this to elicit the meaning in English and drill the pronunciation. Then there is graded questioning. Firstly there are multiple choice slides followed by whats missing memory game slides. You can also use the final slide to play a game of "beat the teacher" to revise the learning at the end or during the following lesson. Beat the teacher is played like this: The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

This one slide PowerPoint can be used as a simple 10 minute Spanish warmer/ starter activity to play the game "I spy with my little eye...." The students play this in small groups practising not only classroom vocabulary, but also thinking more imaginatively e.g. clothing, colours and vocabulary such as "hair" and "eyes." Therefore this can be used with a variety of year groups. Enjoy!

This sheet has a range of expression to support students creating a French Wanted Poster either in class or as homework to practise adjectives for physical description. Phrases given include: Recherché = wanted Récompense = reward Mort ou vif = Dead or alive Euros = euros Il/Elle s’appelle… = He/ She is called Il/ Elle a *** ans = He/ She is *** years old. Son anniversaire est le…. = His/ her birthday is on the… There are 3 levels of challenge to extend the more able students whilst supporting those who are weaker.

This step-by-step French PowerPoint gradually elicits the formation of negatives with the present tense: ne + pas. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new structure: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings and rules. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class: All: Translate the phrases below. Most: AND decide which two words we add to make a sentence negative. Where are they positioned? Some: AND: decide why we say n’ai pas rather than ne ai pas. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Je suis généreux. Je ne suis pas généreux. J’ai un frère. Je n’ai pas de frères. J’ai une souris. Je n’ai pas d’animal. The following slides gradually check the students' answers. Slide 8 recaps the new expressions and can be used for a game. Slide 9 recaps the questions (can be used for revision next lesson) and slide 10 is the same a slide 8. Worksheet: This sheet starts with a re-cap of the rules: To make this sentence negative we add ne and pas. These go around the verb e.g. Je ne joue pas au tennis = I don’t play tennis. Then there is a French - English translation section, followed by English - French translation. The next section reminds us that du changes to de after a negative. This is followed by English - French translation. The final section is to build in previous knowledge to write a short paragraph. The following phrases are offered for support: Tous les jours = everyday car = because mais = but donc = therefore et = and une fois par semaine = once a week deux fois par semaine = twice a week c’est = it is intéressant = interesting génial = great ennuyeux = boring. Battleships: This battleships can be used to revise a variety of expressions with ne + pas. I have also included one near future and one perfect tense example to add challenge/ expose students to these new tenses. Expressions: Je n’ai pas de frères et sœurs et Je ne suis pas travailleur et Tu n’as pas d’animal et Il n’habite pas en France et Elle n’est pas généreuse et Nous ne sommes pas sympas et je ne joue pas au foot. tu ne joues pas au basket. il ne fait pas de cyclisme. je ne vais pas faire de ski. je n’ai pas joué au tennis. Please see instructions for playing battleships on one of my other product descriptions - I can't fit it in here!

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. Mon école est vieille/ moderne. C’est une école mixte. Il y a 2500 élèves. Il y a soixante salles. Il y a une bibliothèque. Il y a une cantine. Il y a un centre sportif. Il y a dix labos. Il y a un terrain de sport. Il y a douze salles d’informatique. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have “either **** or ****?” questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! The worksheet have a French to English match up of the new expressions. This is followed by a gap-fill where the words needed to fill in the gaps are jumbled up in brackets after the gaps (except for the school name). E.g. Mon école ____________ (aes’plple) __________________________. C’est une _________ (iieellv) école mixte près du centre-ville. ______ (y il a) environ deux mille cinq cents ________ (éèlevs) Then there is a further gap-fill which covers related topics about favourite subject, the school day etc.E.g. Some : Remplissez les blancs: L’école commence à ____________ (ithu hseeur) et demie. Chaque cours dure ______ (nue) heure. J’apprends treize ____________ (esmèrtia). J’adore ________ (sanlg’lai) car c’est ______ (rstè) intéressant, mais nous avons beaucoup de _________ (irdeovs). The final extension task is to: Écrivez 7 questions difficiles sur les textes! There is also a 4 slide PowerPoint with the answers.

Metacognition/ Learning To Learn PowerPoint Description I led a School Improvement Group looking at Metacognition, or put more simply Learning To learn. I was concerned that my language classes were not developing efficient and effective ways to memorise new vocabulary and grammatical structures. As a consequence I created this PowerPoint presentation, which I have used with all my classes from years 7- 13 (UK)/ grades 6 to 12. I find it particularly powerful to show before assessments and show it regularly throughout the academic year! It starts with the powerful statement: Intelligence is not fixed or unchanging. We can build intelligence. I then ask the students to discuss how they learn vocabulary and grammatical structures. Then there are some examples of mnemonics in Lingala, Chinese and French, followed by a French grammar analogy. Finally there are 2 slides of ideas for the students to try (which you may wish to print out) such as: Practice testing * You MUST DO THIS! Test and be tested by a friend/family member/ yourself. Write a challenging quiz e.g Millionaire, zondle, Kahoot, Tiny Taps… Teach someone or something (teddy bear will do!). We remember 90% of what we teach others. You may wish to print out some slides for display or perhaps share ideas with parents. Enjoy!

Expressions: Tu veux venir chez moi? Tu veux aller au cinéma? Je ne peux pas. Je dois faire mes devoirs. Je dois aller voir ma grand-mère. Je dois garder ma sœur. Je dois promener le chien. Je dois ranger ma chambre. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation (PPC = Prefect Pronunciation Challenge!) and question each other (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions) before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

Battleships Expressions: Pour aller aux magasins ? Pour aller au musée? Pour aller à la poste ? Pour aller au syndicat d’initiative ? Pour aller à la librairie ? Pour aller à l’hôtel de ville ? Vous allez tout droit. Vous tournez à gauche. Vous tournez à droite. Prenez le bus numéro 15. Traversez les feux et le pont. Prenez la première rue à droite. Prenez la deuxième rue à gauche. Battleships Game Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss the pronunciation. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. Enjoy! French - English Cards: Prepositions, Directions & Places. Expressions: Continuez jusqu’au carrefour. C’est tout près d’ici. L’arrêt de bus se trouve en face de la gare routière. La patinoire est devant le commissariat. Le syndicat d’initiative est à coté de la pharmacie. L’hôtel de ville est devant la boulangerie. Le stade est entre l’église et la piscine. La bibliothèque est au bout de la rue. Le café est à gauche de la librairie. Au coin de la rue il y a une charcuterie. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English. Level 3 = As Level 2 but questions from English to French. Then play pelmenism/ slap the card.

This 8 slide PowerPoint introduces the Past Historic. Use it to elicit translations and to present information about it's formation and irregular verbs. I use this PowerPoint slide to revise the Past Historic. I give students mini-whiteboards and they choose the odd-one-out. Examples: je parlai je finis je répondis je vais j’aurai j’allai nous finîmes il but j’eus ils eurent j’ai eu vous eûtes * watch out for the made-up verb at the end!

As there are many cognates and this is aimed at slightly older students I have included a range of tenses. Expressions taught: Je voudrais voir un dessin animé. Je ne regarde jamais les jeux. Mon frère préfère les émissions sportives. Quand j’avais onze ans j’aimais les émissions pour la jeunesse. La météo ne m’intéresse pas. Les informations sont ennuyeuses. Hier soir j’ai vu un documentaire. Avant de faire mes devoirs j’ai vu un film. Je vais regarder un feuilleton. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. it is differentiated as follows: All: Pick out and translate the TV programmes. Then translate the full sentences. Most: Identify the tenses. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: QFQs! (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions - the students quiz each other on the new phrases). The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there is a "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slide. This final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
