Support your Year 11 students with this GCSE French AQA 2024 Writing Revision Lesson, designed for the final stretch before the writing exam.

This ready-to-use lesson focuses on the key skills students need for success in the AQA GCSE French writing paper, including bullet point decoding, answer planning, time frames, sentence upgrades and final accuracy checks.

The lesson is based around the AQA theme The environment and where people live and includes practice for both:

• 90-word writing task

• 150-word Higher writing task

Students are guided through how to understand each bullet point, plan relevant content, use different time frames, develop opinions with reasons, upgrade sentences, and check their work before handing it in.

This resource is ideal for Year 11 GCSE French revision, last-minute exam preparation, intervention lessons, writing skills practice, or a focused lesson after the GCSE speaking exams.

What’s included?

This resource includes a PowerPoint lesson covering:

• Retrieval starter / Do Now activity

• Sentence upgrade practice

• Foundation 90 word writing task (bullet point decoding, planning and model answer)

• Final 5-minute COPS accuracy check

Why this resource is useful

It gives students a clear routine:

decode the bullet points → plan the answer → use time frames → develop opinions → write → check accuracy
