Working with texts

“real” language

Don’t worry about giving them a challenge!

– Pupils enjoy exploring new ideas

J’aime ma maison. Au rez-de-chaussée il y a

la grande cuisine. Il y a aussi un petit salon,

où on regarde la télévision.

Au premier étage, il y a la grande chambre

de mes parents et la chambre de mon frère.

Games to promote literacy

Good for developing oracy skills

Remember: If you can say it, you can also write it!!

Page 17: Ysgol Clywedog Wrexham

Battleships: reinforces verb pattern and basic sentence structure.

Pupils follow up with writing any 5 sentences

from the grid, then challenged to extend each

sentence by adding different bits of

information…. Who can produce the longest

sentence?!

Mastermind encourages sentence-building

Colour coding is good for helping pupils to identify phrases as

“chunks” of meaning which can be used like jigsaw pieces to

build up a sentence.

Page 19: Ysgol Clywedog Wrexham

Starters and Plenaries

• Finish the sentence“J’ai…” / “Je suis…” / “J’habite…”How many different ways could you finish the sentence?

• Unscramble the sentencePut words in an appropriate order so they make senseThere may be more than 1 possibility!

• Correct the mistakesGood as a timed challenge

• Match-upGood for low ability or for introducing new vocabulary / structures

• Dictionary: find (x) words to do with…

Page 20: Ysgol Clywedog Wrexham

Starters and Plenaries

• How confident are you?Thumbs up / thumbs down(“good , bad or goofy?”)

• What do you think you need to learn next/ revise for this to get easier?

Especially good to use after a learning homework was set which pupils patently haven’t done!

• “If you are feeling confident, then…; if you are still not very confident then…”

Set minimum expectation but invite pupils to push themselves

Page 21: Ysgol Clywedog Wrexham

What about Grammar?

• Pupils use investigation to understand rules

• Thinking skills: “What do you notice / think about...?”“How could you explain these patterns?”

• Pupils reflect on and explain ideas; use grammar note to recap / sum up what they have noticed

• Note-taking becomes a plenary / mini-plenary at end of task, not the main focus of the lesson

Page 22: Ysgol Clywedog Wrexham

Some key things to remember

• Give pupils time to explore and think

• Ask open questions

• Dictionary skills are essential

• take time to teach them properly, so that pupils know

how to use all the information available!!

• Using English/Welsh is OK!

• Start simple and grow: milk your resources!
