Building for success
The end goal of the project was clear: pupils were to create presentations and work with audio or video to explore the topic of the environment. It was also important that pupils understood and applied the success criteria necessary for producing higher-level French at GCSE. The Internet was used to good effect for the purposes of exploring the topic and identifying useful topic-specific language and higher-level expressions. The interactive whiteboard was used to build pupils’ understanding of what makes for good French and how they might incorporate elements such as opinions, cognates and near-cognates into their work. Having established a clear dual focus, both topic-related and linguistic for their project work, pupils would be free to work creatively and collaboratively towards the end goal identified by the teacher.
