Discursive Writing Helpbook contains 3 sample discursive writing pieces framed as reading comprehension exercises, 3 pages of discursive phrases (appropriate complex and sophisticated language) for the Discursive Writing element of the Advanced Higher exam plus 2 pages of (49) practice questions. When printed out the booklet has the phrases in French and space for the pupils to translate into English. Discursive Writing Answerbook has the English translations so could be given simply as a vocabulary resource but I have used this version to display the translations on the Smartboard. The reading comprehension gives the pupils a taste of what is expected and guides them through structuring their own writing as well as introducing useful phrases. I have used the marking instructions to discuss with the class how the examples fulfil or fall short of the standards. They can then refer to these when writing their responses to the sample questions.

I will use these Spanish calendar’s for craft projects in the New Year, to add to pupil displays and take home calendars.

Directed Writing Practice Translations contains English texts which are designed as an introduction to putting the writing together using phrases found in the Helpbook. Pupils may have to make some minor alteration to gender, pronouns, verb endings. Directed Writing Practice Solutions are the French translations, based on the Helpbook, of the above. I have found this to be a really useful resource over the past couple of years and it has had good results. I have mostly set it as homework and revised in class but it also lends itself well to group work. It not only builds vocabulary but enhances translation and dictionary skills.

There is a vocabulary sheet with space to complete the English and one which has been completed with French and English for the teacher to decide how they prefer to deliver it. Also, a reading comprehension exercise with 4 short texts and 15 questions to answer along with an answer sheet. Q&A talking cards with illustrations on how to answer the questions - the A4 sheet can be cut up and handed out for displayed on screen - along with a key to the illustrations and, again, an ‘answer sheet’.

24 files introducing classroom and school items. The vocabulary is split into 4 groups, introduced through the Powerpoints. There is then a worksheet and a wordsearch for each group of nouns. In each Powerpoint there is a grammar note for relating to indefinite and definite articles and plurals. Each worksheet and wordsearch is accompanied by an answer sheet. There is also a homework sheet for pupils to practice the vocabulary and a sheet for vocabulary notes (again with a completed version). This resource is a good first lesson in French as the vocabulary encompasses many sounds and highlights the differences between the singular and plural. I hope you find this helpful.

There are 13 files in this resource which introduces and consolidates the vocabulary for parts of the body. I have taken a different approach with this topic. Instead of a presentation I have allowed the pupils to 'discover' the vocabulary themselves. Starting with the French pronunciation exercise (1), they are learning how to recognise sounds and pronounce unfamiliar words. They find key vocabulary in the dictionary skills activity (2). This is enhanced by work on nouns, recognising masculine or feminine and a brief review (or introduction) of how to form plurals (3). The translation worksheet (4) has implausible sentences in French and should access prior learning of numbers and allows for using all that has been learned in the previous activities. Also included is a visual starter activity, a wordsearch and 'bodies' to print out and label. Answers and solutions have been included where appropriate.

These three files contain outlines of numbers plus an outline of the French below. I have S1 pupils create their own designs (within the shapes) to be displayed around the classroom. It is a fun activity for younger learners as well as providing a useful classroom resource. I have found this to be better than allowing them to do it freehand as you can be assured of correct spelling and readable size.

This resource of 15 files is designed to improve knowledge of jobs and job related vocabulary. The worksheets allow pupils to explore the tasks involved in certain jobs and then to work on sentence building. There is also a Powerpoint presentation to accompany the activities as well as a vocabulary sheet for printing or display. All the worksheets are accompanied by answer sheets.
