Why this why now
This unit focuses on new knowledge of Francophone culture, exploring the city of Montréal, cultural diversity in Morocco, Francophone sports teams, art, and government. Grammatically this unit revisits much from KS3 and earlier in KS4, but also challenges pupils with the introduction of present participles and further imperative and word pattern rules. Pupils learn to describe, but also to express opinions on, a range of cultural and political topics, and further develop key skills essential at KS4 such as reading and responding to texts, describing photos, translation and extended writing.

- Pupils know how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense in all persons.
- Pupils know how to form the informal and formal imperative of regular verbs.
- Pupils know that adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they are describing.
- Pupils know how to form comparative adjectives and adverbs.

- Pupils know to position direct and indirect object pronouns before the verb.
- Pupils can recognise the emphatic pronouns: moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles.
