Editor's Notes
- 1 – mine is on my website; 2- so the pressure is taken off the teacher as centre stage all the time 3 - the ‘natural’ way – children do as much as they are able… 4 -needs thorough knowledge of KS2 Framework and progression.
- Keep it brief – don’t get bogged down with planning
- Get back on target – we’ve got our porgram- how do we make it different/adapt it for each year group and every ability?
- Progression is often subtle; Can you find/work out what the progression is? I think it is; Yr 3 -Explore the dictionary; identify similarities/differences with monolingual dictionaries. Yr 4 --Compare words that look English already, do they mean the same? Are they pronounced the same? -Reinforce concepts of English grammar when referring to FL equivalent terminology e.g. adjectif Yr 5 Discuss ‘faux amis’ and find examples (e.g. ‘car’ in French = a coach) Yr 6 -Insist on children looking up new words for themselves but always check answers with each other/TA/ teacher and discuss.
- Another group may only return with bonjour / au revoir. Another with a song. The camera and a time limit act as an extra TA to keep them on task.
- Go through the progression – note that it is very gradual. You can find an overview of the progression in the Framework part 2 on pages 45-59 ‘Moving on’ and it is referred to agin with more examples in the new part 3 – module 5 ‘Leaps and bounds – progression’ The key is finding opportunities to perform these tasks simultaneously in class.
- Hand out the above tasks and ask audience to order in ascending difficulty. Then click for my opinion – open to discussion…
- Older/more able children act as experts/advisors. Others as the year ¾ boys not seen but actively participating in this video clip may just produce sound/special effects – just as valid as actively listening for cues in target language (il pleut = throw bucket).
- While this might mean some preparation, you only need to do it once to be re-used every year.. and the teacher is then free to ‘float’ around the class and work with groups or individuals. My mum said – but that’s what we used to do all the time in the 70’s – what’s the fuss?
- Singing French – Helen MacGregor and Stephen Chadwick: ISBN 0 7136 6898 9
- Powerpoint – je m’habille story CC3 – yr 3 enjoy, show words so yr 4 can read and occasionally pause for them to join in, Yr 5 need to identify which clothes are missed out and answer q’s about plurals /masc/fem. Etc.. Yr 6 answer q’s in target lang. vrai/faux je mets ma cravate? Then replay the picture only of the power point by using the hide screen of projector and ask yr 6 to retell the story.
- . Bring in an example. Explain adapt sheets provided using adobe or by copying and pasting, or children design own. Can also be done online/in electronic format to save space but nicer for children to have a copy of their work.
