Why this why now
Pupils will already have learnt plural pronouns and 'être'. This unit builds verb knowledge, introducing plural -er verbs and ne...pas negation. Having secured intonation questions, this unit teaches est-ce que questions. Together these new structures expand pupils' communicative repertoire substantially, appropriate to the depth of new cultural content in the unit. Key sound-symbol correspondences are further secured through activities that contrast two similar sounds.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils have secure knowledge of the most common sound-symbol correspondences in French.
- Pupils know plural pronouns 'ils' and 'elles' and the plural forms of the irregular verb 'êt'e
- Pupils know how to create information questions adding a range of interrogatives (quoi, comment, qui) to intonation questions.
