Three New-York Times-style Connections games for Y13. Students must look at 16 words, then group them into four semantic categories. I'd suggest this be done in pairs, with discussion and some teacher input where words may not be known. As a follow-up, students could produce senetnces including each word. I prompted Chat GOPT to come with grids based on themes such as immigration, diversity, xenophobia, environment, prisons and women's rights. Good for vocab building and discussion. CEFR B2.

A New York Times-style connections starter game for easy beginner vocab. Three slides with single words, two with short phrases. Edit as you wish. CEFR A1.

A full lesson plan (or edit out instructions and just use the resource). Topic: 'Ma région'. Pre-reading vocab brainstorm, text, vocab to find, multi-choice, true/falsee. gap-fill, questions and a paragraph to write. This is easy for Y10 and a fast Y9 could do this. CEFR A2.

A full resource/lesson plan for Y10-11 on vaping. Pre-reading vocab to identify, text, vocab to find, true/false, multi-choice, questions in French, discussion questions and paired vocab testing. All teacher suggestions and answers given. I used Chat GPT to produce the bulk of the material, then added/adjusted to my liking. CEFR A2/Higher GCSE.

Video listening. Topic: history of the Cannes Film Festival. This is a gap-fill. The video may be played at reduced speed for some classes. Good for Y12 or easy Y13. CEFR B1.

A full lesson plan/resource on the topic of celebrity culture. Text, words to find, comprehension questions in English and French, gap-fill, true/false, false sentences to correct. All instructions and answers given, but you can remove the instructions if you just want to use the resource. Level A2 (GCSE Higher).

Video listening. This is a YoutTube short recruitment video featuring a female volunteer firefighter talking about her job. It is sub-titled so not too hard and suitable for Y12. Questions in French and a chance to talk about what a vocation is. Answers given. Volunteering is an A-level sub-theme for AQA. CEFR B1.

A full lesson plan with exercises on the climate crisis. Text, 'find the French', true/false, multi-choice, questions in English and French, pair vocab test. CEFR A2.

A short text with exercises about a possible partial solution to prison overcrowding in France. Text, multi-choice, words to find and a 90-word summary to write, with a model provided. In the current affairs section near the top of the page. CEFR B1/2.

A grammar sheet on asking questions. 20 answers to match to questions, then students must create their own questions to go with a list of 10 answers. CEFR A2. Fairly easy GCSE. Foundation students could just do the first half of the exercise.
