Resources:
IWB or screen with sound enabled if you wish to use the PowerPoints and soundfiles. //**Teachers note:** Support the less-able children to join in the activities above by providing them with a ‘vocab prompt sheet’ for describing themselvesThe suggestion of using fictional characters / celebrities / made-up personas is because some children will feel uncomfortable constantly talking about their own family circumstances and this enables them to practise the vocabulary they might not otherwise use. See ‘list of characters’ to greet’ for ideas. // || * French phrases 1 PowerPoint to be uploaded soon
