HOMEWORK TASKS AND CLASS WORK IN THE FRENCH DEPARTMENT
Pupils - Bonjour!
Read this sheet carefully so that you know what you’re doing. The following sheets
have help and advice PLUS YOUR HOMEWORK TASKS. Then show your parents so
that they also know what to expect and how to help you with the French course. It
will help you plan your homework effectively at home.
Merci beaucoup … et bonne chance!
Course Information for parents and pupils
We currently follow a brand-new, bright and motivating course called Métro. The course book
divides into 6 units which you will complete in S2. At the end of every unit there will be short
assessments in the 4 language skills: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. We do course
work on grammar (the rules of languages) so that pupils learn about the structure of French and
English, their similarities and differences. Grammar will be assessed as part of normal class work.
The results of all unit assessments are combined to determine the level of achievement for the
school report card at the end of the year.
Pupils in French are issued with a green jotter for classwork, a blue homework jotter in which they
will also do vocabulary tests and a poly bag to help keep jotters and sheets neat. They must take
these home every day and bring them every lesson. At the start of each and every unit pupils need
to look on the school website for the vocabulary list for the unit. This can also be copied onto a
USB memory stick in class if you wish. The lists are an essential source of help in classwork and
homework. Each unit will include words and grammar from all previous units as more language is
learnt. The topics covered in coursework from S1 onwards all relate directly to the SQA’s exam
requirements.
WE STRONGLY ADVISE PUPILS NOT TO USE INTERNET TRANSLATION
TOOLS AS THEY CAN GIVE WRONG ANSWERS WHERE ENGLISH WORDS
HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS. For example, in the first unit if you put in
‘ruler’ it wouldn’t know whether you meant ‘the thing for drawing lines and measuring’
or ‘the person who rules a country’. These are completely different words in French: une
règle and un souverain.
We expect pupils to present all work well and keep jotters free of all graffiti. We have textbooks,
readers, dictionaries and workbooks which are for classroom use. There may be occasions when
these books can be taken home but normally they will be kept in the classroom.
It could be useful to have a French - English dictionary at home for help with homework, though
this is not essential in S1/2. A school-type dictionary can be bought in most bookshops for around
£8. We will include effective use of a French dictionary as part of course work in class.
HOMEWORK
The Curriculum for Excellence stresses the importance of being aware of life outside Scotland. So
to make pupils see the importance of learning a foreign language and about other cultures we will
do THREE projects during S1. One will be about a country other than France where French is
spoken, one about a French city, region or holiday resort, and the third one will be about a famous
French person. These will be done in English, though some additional information could be added
in French. Further details of these will be on the website.
However, the most important part of learning a foreign language is learning the new words,
including both their meanings in English and how to spell them. The most common homework
will be to learn VOCABULARY, though there will also be written tasks to complete in the blue
homework jotter and preparation of Speaking tasks for each unit assessment.
 Pupils can expect some form of vocabulary learning, reviewing of new material, test
preparation or written task to be done at home every week.
 We ask that parents sign written homeworks and where possible help/support pupils in their
efforts in learning by heart.
 In S1/S2, homework tasks should each normally take about half an hour.
 There will be revision homework for the assessments at the end of each unit.
Below are some ideas to help pupils do their best in these tasks. The list of homework tasks for
each Module (unit of work) follows on the 4th page.
LEARNING VOCABULARY and PREPARING SPEAKING TASKS
1
You must write in your Homework Diary exact details of what you have to learn or to say
and for when (the homeworks are numbered on the website and explanations are there too). Your
teacher will allow between three days and a week before any assessment. Show someone at home
what you have to do so they can arrange to help you if necessary. An adult’s ideas can be useful in
suggesting extra details to improve a Speaking performance.
2
Find a quiet place. Computers, CDs and TVs will reduce your concentration powers.
Hearing words spoken in English while you are learning French words will distract you and
make the task harder. Get out your vocabulary, some spare paper and a pencil. For Speaking
tasks look at the questions or the scenario to prepare. Do ONE thing at once-and do it well!
3
Remember this routine (You probably used it at your Primary):
LOOK - COVER - WRITE - CHECK. This works! Just ‘looking’ isn’t enough!
i
Look - look first at the whole list of words you have to learn until you can recognise all of
them. Look at the questions you have to prepare for Speaking.
ii
Cover - cover the English meanings first so you can only see the French words. Test
yourself on what each word means and how to say it.
iii
Cover - this time cover the French words and see if you can spell or say the French word
from memory without copying it.
iv
v
Write - the French word or answer down.
(THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE BIT SO DON'T BE TEMPTED TO SKIP IT!)
Check - your own spellings. Spelling always matters, so do your best to get it
right! (Be sure to check you have included any 'accents' or little bits in front of the main
word such as 'un/une/ le/la/l'/les')
4
Finally get someone at home to test you. It does not have to be someone who knows any
French. Just show them your list of words or your questions and spell out the answers. (Why not
ask if you can get a wee treat if you get them all right?)
One final piece of advice is not to try to learn too many words at a time.
15 minutes of vocabulary learning at a time is best.
If you have say 20 words to learn, do 10 one day and 10 the next.
'Little and often' is better than leaving it all to do at the last minute.
FAQ 1 – How do we test vocabulary learning homework?
A
- We give pupils roughly half of the words in French and ask pupils to write
down the meaning in English for 1 point each (either right or wrong). For the other
half of the words we give the English word and ask pupils how to say/spell the word in
French for 2 points each. Two points are awarded for a completely correct spelling
including accents and articles (un/une, le/la/l’ etc), one point for a word which is
recognisable but not quite accurate). This system allows pupils with spelling
difficulties to get a pass at 50% if they have learned well.
FAQ 2
- Who marks the tests?
A
- We ask pupils to mark each other’s work as this develops their skill of
proof reading and spell checking for their own work too.
FAQ 3
- What do we do with the marks?
A
- We keep a note of each test’s marks so we can compare how well a
pupil is learning and can give help and advice on strategies for learning to those who
find learning by heart more challenging.
Bonne chance!

writing to the class teacher.
Module 1 Homework tasks
Your teacher will tell you the handing in date for each piece of homework. Make sure
you write it down in your planner! FOR ALL TASKS YOU NEED TO USE THE
VOCABULARY LIST FOR THE MODULE YOU’RE DOING – WITHOUT IT THESE
TASKS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT, WITH IT THEY SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY!
Task 1/1.
Why does the Scottish Government want everyone to learn at least one
foreign language? How could knowing another language than English be of use and
benefit to you personally and to other citizens of Scotland? Write down in English as
many reasons as you can think of. (Hints: think of travel, jobs, social networking,
national economy.)
Task 1/2
Learn from the vocabulary list the words in the section called
‘Classroom objects’ Learn what each one means and how to spell them. You will
be tested on how well you have done this. (See advice above for how to do this
effectively.)
Task 1/3
Learn how to say and spell the numbers 0-31. Expect to be tested.
Task 1/4
Written work in French
Your teacher will give you some squared paper. Make up a 15x15 square grid with the
French words for as many numbers between 0-31 as can you can fit in it IN
FRENCH. Below the grid write the figures/English words as key. You will be
swapping your grid with someone else to do as a puzzle in class, so write clearly and
neatly.
Task 1/5
Learn how to say and spell ‘Dates’ (This means ‘the days of the week’ and
‘months of the year’).
Task 1/6
Look at the section called Bilan – checklist on the vocabulary sheet for
Module 1.
Work through it (preferably with either a parent or a partner to
help/test you) and check that you can do all the 15 things in French.
Module 2
Task 2/1
Learn the vocabulary in the section called ‘Countries’
Task 2/2
Learn the vocabulary section ‘Animals’
Task 2/3
Learn the vocabulary for how to describe people using the section Tu es
comment? Then find a picture of a person (from an old magazine), cut it out, stick it
in your blue jotter and write 5 phrases using words from the section Tu es comment?
in French to describe the person in the picture. Remember that the adjectives to
describe people are usually spelt differently for males and females.
Task 2/4
Write in French in your blue jotter at least 5 sentences about
yourself. Include details like: the country you live in, your nationality, a description of
yourself. Say whether you have brothers and sisters, then describe them. If you
have a pet you could say what it’s called and describe its colour and character.
Task 2/5
Do the Bilan – checklist for Module 2.
(Task 2/6)At the end of Module 2 you will have a test which will cover ALL you have
done in Modules 1 and 2. The test will cover the 4 skills of Reading, Listening,
Speaking French and Writing in French. You will revise for this in class then be given
a week to prepare before the actual test. Pupils must be ready for the deadlines
given.




In the Reading test you will see short texts in French and be asked to show
what you understand by answering in English.
In the Listening test you will hear some short pieces of spoken French and
again be asked to show what you understand by answering in English.
In the Speaking you will be asked to answer 5 questions about yourself in
French and will be asked to read aloud to your teacher a few lines of written
French to assess your accent. You will NEVER have to do a French Speaking
test out loud in front of the rest of the class. Speaking tests are
ALWAYS done one-to-one with your teacher to avoid embarrassment.
Your teacher will give you all the help you need with the preparation of this
work during your lessons before the test.
In the Writing you will have to write all your answers in French. Spelling
matters, but you can still pass as long as you make a reasonable attempt
even if it’s not perfect.
We keep a record of all your assessment scores so we can keep track of your
performance and see how you are improving. If your scores go down between one test
and the next we will ask you why this has happened and give support/advice as
required.
Module 3
Task 3/1
Learn how to say/spell the subjects on a school timetable. Draw out and
label your own timetable putting the days and subjects in French.
Task 3/2 (Written) write down the names of at least 8 of your teachers and say

timetable’ and ‘The teachers’)
Task 3/3
Learn the scetion ‘What time is it?’ - the time phrases.
Task 3/4
Check the ‘school day and lesson times’ sections of your school planner
and write out in words in French how you would say/spell the times of the lessons,

leisure activities in French. Write it out in a diary, day by day format.
Task 4/4
Learn to say/spell ‘Weather forecast’ phrases.
Task 4/5
Combine the different activities in Qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire? With
the weather phrases to write a paragraph in French to say what you like
to do in the different weather conditions. (In English this would be
saying things like: ‘When it’s raining I like watching the TV.’) Start each
phrase with the word ‘When …’ = ‘Quand …’
Task 4/6
Do the Bilan- checklist for Module 4.
Task 4/7
