Topic Title: 

Les Artists français

Topic Intent:

In this model we consolidate our ability to give basic information about ourselves, our family and our friends from the ‘Au départ’ Y7 module and using the third person singular in Y8. There is also the opportunity to become more confident using the perfect past tense and the near future tense as being able to talk in a range of tenses is vital for communication in another language. Teachers will continue working on students’ confidence in speaking and their resilience when faced with new vocabulary in French but also in English.

Topic Intent: 

This module consolidates and goes further from the Y7 module ‘Mes passes-temps’ Students will be encouraged to give developed opinions with more complex justifications rather than just an adjective. It also provides the opportunity to practise using the perfect past tense and near future tense in a topic that they will all have experienced in real life. They will also be able to give advice on internet safety and talk about the importance of reading.

Topic Intent:

This module looks at cultural festivals and celebrations which allows for students to embed their use of three tenses and opinions. It also gives the opportunity to compare UK festivals and traditions with those from the Francophone world.

Topic Intent:

This project aims to introduce a basic understanding of 3 key French artists so students can recognise key artworks. This project also starts to develop the GCSE exam technique of describing a photo using PALMWO for those students who have chosen to continue with French to KS4 and therefore acts as a ‘bridging’ module from KS3 to KS4.

Each week students will receive a crossword to complete in French of some core high frequency vocab. Students who do not complete their homework on time will receive a catch up from their teacher to complete the homework on the same day. Teachers will award classchart points to those who consistently complete homework on time. Each half term there is an extended cultural homework which is optional but for those students who wish to go the extra mile with their learning.
