Learning objective
- To be able to build descriptive sentences into a short paragraph
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Read carefully and show understanding of simple writing.
- Write at varying length using a variety of grammatical structures.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: show the children the first page from the Activity: Family album. Working in small groups, the children can read the sentences introducing each member and then add the names to the album photo.
Pupils working at greater depth: can unscramble the jumbled sentences to build and write a description of each family member then work out who they are on the photo.
During the week
- Mon ami(e) (my friend): use the puzzle pieces from the Activity: Family album to build a description of someone in the class for pupils to guess.
- Watch the video on link: ‘BBC – La famille’ about two French-speaking families.
