=Free scheme of work & resources for teaching French to Year 6 (or any class in their 4th year of learning French)= =Most of the resources here have been made and shared across the internet by teachers and members of the [|Talkabout Primary Languages site]and the Hampshire MFL team, gathered together here to save KS2 classteachers time. Thank you to everyone & if you would like to add your resources/links as well please do so by joining this wikispace.= = Simplified versions of QCA Units 19-24 will eventually be arranged as pages in the menu to your left; each unit further sub-divided into 5 or 6 lessons. A 'lesson' is likely to last //at least a week// with one main session & some follow-up activities. Please take your time & do not feel tempted to rush children; better to do the activities thoroughly & only get through one or two this year, than rush through them all. = = Frankly, if you are following the KS2 Framework you will have realised the pace of these units is often TOO FAST and you can easily spend an entire term on each unit - probably achieving better results and with happier students & teachers. = = Some units will appeal to you more than others - so just do the ones you want to or pick out the bits you would like to do and don't feel guilty! Good language teaching at Key stage 1 & 2 is not about how much language you cover, but about how much the children really understand and remember. Year 6 is the crucial year before transition to KS3 - so ensure you cover the key structures agreed in an end-of-year 6 agreement with your local secondary school. Here is the Hampshire example: = = While working at sentence & text level do still remember to play games, use songs & 'real' books, and teach children to love language: approach languages as a 'word detective' - hunting for clues as to meaning and constantly comparing & contrasting with English. Play with words as a poet doeand encourage children to have a go and join in. Make sure you remind children of the main graphemes/phonemes, use lots of cds or IWB resources including online ones with inbuilt sound to make your job easier as a teacher but also to give the children a variety of voices to listen to. =
