Video listening for intermediate level. Quand j'étais petit.... A short cartoon in which students hear lots of jobs mentioned. Tick off exercise and a little translation. Imperfect tense is also prominent. Good for Y9-11, depending on ability.

Video listening. This is a brilliant short film (2m 43s) called Passé composé by Ted Hardy-Carnac. It's not about grammar. An elderly man in a retirement home fantasises about his past. The worksheet has questions in French, a "find the French" task and room for some discussion and analysis. I really recommend this for a one-off lesson (about 45 minutes) or as part of a sequence about old age. Check you can access Vimeo. I have placed this in both the A-level and Adults students pages. I would use it at A2 level.
