Preparing for new GCSE: the motivating effect of comprehensive booklets.

I believe that a good start to any course is to make pupils feel confident that their teacher knows what lies  ahead, and I find that issuing booklets in different pale colours to be kept in a cardboard wallet kept in the classroom is a good start!  Of course it is important to have the resources available electronically as well, but personally I find that physical booklets make learning more memorable.  I can 'picture' where the language is.  And anyway, at the moment, pupils still have to put pen to paper for the final exam! 


Here's a list of what I issued in September 2016 for the 2018-2025 GCSE French AQA. [I made a few changes, so these are the updates issued in 2018 onwards]. 

I plan to  create similar resources for the 2026 onwards AQA and Edexcel French GCSE if needed.  

The links should take you to my Google drive where you can view and download them if you like..
I have removed links to resource which draw heavily on the published course book paid for by the school.
