Unit Of Work: Communicating With Others

Sue Pommarède, Marie-Laure Muringer, Jean-Luc Courteaud, Trish Pietersen, Gabi Angevi, Jagode Grant and Hanan Bahr (South + East Auckland cluster)
have collaborated to rework a Unit Of Work to reflect the requirements of the New Curriculum. Previously called "Les Jeunes", these colleagues have designed a 4 to 6 week Programme of Work which title is "Communicating with others".
The task is to design and produce a class magazine for a senior class in a French-speaking country about social life. It could include columns about the latest films, favourite places to hang out, celebrations, parties, latest musical clips, horoscopes (Famille, Amour, Travail), and current fashions.

Philipa Kruger (Otago High School for Girls) put together the PPT below to teach the Conditional with vocabulary from the topic:

La Trousse de Secours

Margaret Ubels-Rattray (St Peters's College) liked this PPT and sent it on as a reading activity for your students.  Based on a list of essentials to live a happy, balanced and altruistic life, this presentation can be the premise to a creative writing activity: in pairs, students decide on five essentials for their survival kits, and write a short paragraph for each, explaining the reasons behind their choice.  Students could also present their work on PPT!

L' Amitié

The three following documents are created by Noelene Taylor (Tauranga Girls' College) to help students acquire, retain and practise L2 prescribed vocabulary relevant to the topic Friendship. Noelene's writing activity offers students the opportunity to give and respond to information and opinions, giving reasons (7.4).
