This 57-page workbook (including answers) contains GCSE-style reading, writing, speaking and translation questions for Key Stage 3 students.
This workbook contains activities on the topics of Social Issues and Global Issues, from the AQA theme Local, National, International and Global Areas of Interest.
There are 6 subtopics: Healthy living, illnesses, poverty and homelessness, charity work, environmental problems and helping the environment.
For each of these subtopics, there are 6 activities: a reading task, translation (short paragraph) from Spanish into English, sentences to translate from English into Spanish, a writing task (short passage similar to the foundation writing exam), a photo (like in the foundation writing exam) and a role-play.
There are also 6 extension activities which bring together all of the subtopics: a longer reading task, a paragraph translation from English into Spanish, a 90-word task, a 150-word task and a photo card (like in the speaking exam).
This booklet can be used in KS3 or for revision in KS4 (foundation). It can either be used to supplement work in lessons as you teach the topics of global and social issues, or for assessments. It could also be set as cover work, as the answers are included.
In this pack, you will find 10 high quality photocards for the new AQA French GCSE on one of the 12 topics covered by the syllabus: Social Issues
I hand-picked the photos on these cards and discussed them with my students from a range of abilities. Everyone should find something to say about the photo, especially on topics that students generally find more difficult, such as customs and festivals or global issues.
The questions on the cards have been finely balanced, and like in the real examination, they offer opportunities to use a range of tenses and timeframes.
The teacher questions have been conveniently grouped on one single size of A4 in order to keep your printing costs down and to save paper and the environment. You may decide to either stick to the suggested unknown questions like in the real examination, or you may choose to pick your own question from the last page which offers a convenient way to tailor the unknown questions to the ability of your students. For this reason, the cards are suitable for both Foundation and Higher tiers.
I am a French native speaker, and I put a lot of care to ensure that there are no mistakes in the French, the variety of questions that I used, and in the overall quality of this set.
The licensing terms are extremely simple. You may use these cards as you see fit. You may reproduce them, pass them to you colleagues in other schools and encourage them to buy their own license if they decide to use them too. You may not however translate them, resell them in whole or in part, or include them in some of your work that you intend to sell.
You may want to consider buying the full pack of 120 photocards covering all the required topics:
