Teaching notes
Level: Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
Aim: to practise the French near future.
Timing: approximately one hour, excluding follow-up activities (a further 15 minutes).
Preparation
Make a copy of the worksheet for each student. Make an extra copy of p.1 for each student,
so that students have two copies each of exercises 1 and 2.
There is an accompanying PowerPoint file which can be downloaded from
www.teachitlanguages.co.uk You might like to add times and dates to slides 4-5 in order to
make the meaning clearer.
Procedure
1. Display the first PowerPoint slide and tell students that they need to find ‘buried’
treasure under one of the squares. Ask them to give you the coordinates of the square by
saying the sentence. Click on the squares to reveal what is beneath. Correct
pronunciation if necessary.
2. Display the second PowerPoint slide and tell the students that now you have put the
treasure in a different place and that they can find it by making questions (using intonation).
Once they find the treasure, tell them that they are going to play a similar game in pairs.
3. Hand out exercise 1 from the worksheet. You might want to elicit all the sentences
and check pronunciation before the students start working in pairs.
4. Ask the students not to show their paper to anyone and to hide four treasure chests in the
grid by writing four Xs. Then they try to find their partner’s treasure as in steps 1 and 2
above. When the guessers find one of the crosses, they should write it in their copy of the
grid; when they find a blank square, they should draw a line through it. Let them play for a
maximum of five minutes.
5. Display the third PowerPoint slide. This time students find the treasure by making
negative statements.
6. Hand out exercise 2 from the worksheet. The students play the same game as before,
but this time they make negative statements. At the end of this activity they should be
familiar with all the forms of the near future, so now it's time for how to use it.

7. Display the fourth PowerPoint slide and ask the students to guess what you are going to
do this evening, tomorrow, next month and next year.
8. Elicit the use of the near future – for your plans for the future.
9. Display the fifth PowerPoint slide, hand out exercise 3 from the worksheet, and ask
the students to write down your plans for the given times using ‘il’ or ‘elle’. After five
minutes display slide six with suggested answers. Students can either mark their own work
or someone else’s.
10. Hand out exercise 4 from the worksheet and ask the students to draw their plans in
the grid. Tell them that they have only five minutes to do this and they mustn´t write
words. If they don’t have any plans, they should make them up. In the meantime, check
their answers to the previous activity.
11. The students work in pairs to guess what their partner is going to do, using the pictures.
They should use yes/no questions and short answers. Demonstrate with one of the
students, using your plans on the PowerPoint slide:
A: Tu vas regarder le tennis demain ?
B: Non !
A: Tu vas jouer au tennis demain ?
B: Oui, c’est vrai !
