Lesson 1: Est-ce que tu aimes étudier…?
1. Read through the parallel text from the new sentence builder. You need to aim to be able
to recognise and produce this level of language, without support, by the end of this unit of
work (8 lessons + extra vocabulary learning + revision). Use different colours to highlight:
a. words you already know from previous units of work
b. cognates and near-cognates
2. Play the ‘Year 7 French – Parallel Text’ soundfile from ClassCharts and listen to the
pronunciation, then read the French out loud, trying to perfect your pronunciation. Can you
read it out loud and keep up with the recording?
3. Familiarise yourself with the words from the sentence builder below, which you can use to
build answers from the first question on the parallel text. Start by playing the ‘Year 7
French – Sentence Builder 1’ soundfile from ClassCharts and practising your pronunciation
by repeating the French after the teacher.

4. After practising the correct pronunciation, choose at least three of the following tasks
which will help you familiarise yourself with the vocabulary from the sentence builder. (Use
the colours of the nouns to help you pair the correct adjective with it).
• Write down the French and English for six sentences you have built using the
Sentence Builder above.
• Build six sentences, then time 20 seconds to look at each one before trying to re-
write the sentence from memory (as in the ‘frog copying’ activity we do in class).
• Play ‘Trapdoor’ or ‘Mind Reading’ to guess a sentence someone else has built (this
could be someone in your family (they don’t need to know French, as they can use
the Sentence builder), or a friend in your class (over a phone call or video chat).
• Make flashcards or a Look-Cover-Write-Check sheet to learn key words.
• You can also learn the words on Quizlet (see weblink on the front of this booklet).
5. Test yourself! Using the first grid on the following page, time yourself three minutes per
grid – how many phrases can you fill in (French to English)? Défi: do at least one more
task from the list above before testing yourself on the second grid (English to French).

1. Fill in the blank spaces below to complete the English translatiosn to the French phrases,
which have been taken from your Sentence Builder 2. Check your answers afterwards using
your Sentence builder 2.
2. Do some more work to learn Sentence Builders 1 and 2. Start by testing yourself and
identifying what you need to work on.
• To work on the vocabulary from a particular sentence builder, you could practise on
Quizlet. See the front of the booklet for the Quizlet weblink.
• To work on pronunciation, listen to the soundfiles from ClassCharts again and repeat
after the teacher.
3. Test yourself! Create your own test; or use the grids in this booklet, or the tests on
Quizlet to check how well you have learned the vocabulary and pinpoint what you still need
to work on.
4. Make a revision resource (e.g. flashcards, mind-map, poster, game, Look-Cover-Write-
Check sheet) to help you practise any words you still need to learn.
10 | P a g eLesson 6: Grammar, reading and translation practice
[After doing each activity in this lesson, check your work - answers at end of the booklet.]
1. Complete the mosaic translation by highlighting the correct French phrases to the English
translations below. (Hint: Colour-code the sentences like we usually do in lessons).
2. Grammar: In French, there are two words that we can use to say ‘we’ (e.g. we like to play
football): these are ‘on’ and ‘nous’. The most commonly used in France is ‘on’. Howver, ‘on’
can also mean ‘you’, ‘they’ and ‘people (in general)’.
Choose the correct verb formation for the ‘on’ form (note: it usually ends in an ‘-e’ or ‘-it’).
11 | P a g e3. Read the texts and complete the phrases in English.
Défi: Can you create your own comic strip (like below), talking about your own School

4. Write a paragraph talking about your School days – you could talk about:

- When you have lunch
- What School subjects you study
- When you study particular subjects
- Your opinion on your School subjects (both positive and negative)
(Use www.wordreference.com to research any extra vocabulary you need, but make sure
you apply grammar rules to verbs and adjectives.)
