Getting Year 7 into Languages.

As part of our new KS3 curriculum review, we have decided to bombard year 7 with a weekly 10 minute activity on language learning as a general idea during the first 1/2 term. We need to stress the use of language learning skills, and provided a context for French. Charged with thinking, I put a plan together... What do you think?

Week 1
Images of France Activity
Influence of France on culture

Week 2
I'll never go to France
French speaking community

Week 3
5 Phrases to survive (mystery language!)
Higher order thinking

Week 4
Languages in School
Identify areas of school and related languages

Week 5
I'd really like to learn…
Justify a choice of language

Week 6
Poster - Learn a language
Persuade others to learn a language
