Quatre bouquins de finis

I've finally finished all the exercises for each of the four books I decided to take on to provide A level French resources for teachers who would prefer to do literature.  I believe that it is only by really getting stuck into a book students get fully immersed in the language.  When I was a students in the early seventies the teacher simply went through every word with the class and we scrabble down the vocab as we went-the idea of the guides I've produced is that the full vocabulary will help the student work through at his/her own pace without having to have a massive dictionary. The four books done so far are L'Etranger, Les petits enfants du siècle, Kiffe Kiffe Demain and La neige en deuil.

The summaries of the book are in simple language and the vocab for this is given too.  The twist in the tale is that only the infinitive of verbs is given so students have to check out all the different types of verb form.

Other exercises are:-

Character guide with full range of adjectives appropriate to each book's main characters with translation exercises
The A factor exercises in context of the relevant book, practising the present participle, passive and subjunctive
Direct and indirect speech
The tensinator a multi-tense exercise putting each tense in context
ThemesRus, an exercise requiring that quotations be classified into categories
An exposé preparation guide
An essay planning tool with sample
A sample essay based on the plan

So everything need to get the best out of students is there.   The resources can be used either in AS or A2 as there is plenty of language practice of the basic concepts.   Just contact Steve at www.alevelfrench.com  for more information about subscribing.
