Year 9 French Summer project booklet - Inside this booklet are several project-based tasks to - Rastrick High School
Guidance for pupils and parents:
This booklet contains several projects through which you can develop your
cultural knowledge and understanding of the French speaking world. The

principal is to enrich your knowledge of foreign cultures, particularly of the
language you are currently studying.

There is no specific order in which to complete them and you can spend as long
as you like on each task. We suggest a minimum of 2 hours per project but we
also suggest breaking this up into small 15-minute blocks. This will mean you can
take regular breaks and retain your focus.

You can use any website and/or search engines you see fit to help you with your
work. At the end of each project and the end of the booklet, we have included a
list of key websites and apps that we know will best support your learning of
grammar, vocabulary and culture.

You may also want to develop your own task or project about French culture or
about a different language/culture that interest you. We would encourage and
support you in doing this too using the helpful links provided in the booklet.

Remember - you do not need to print out the work - you could just read it on
screen and work in an exercise book or on lined paper. There are also printed
copies of the booklets available to pick up from school if you cannot access
them on a screen.

Once you have completed the work, we’d love to see what you have produced!
For any feedback please feel free to either email your work to your teacher or
to share it with us on Twitter: @RastrickMFL

If you have any questions about the work, please don't hesitate to get in touch
via the Contact page on the school website.

Extended project 1
                                 On va cuisiner!

Why not spend some of your time doing something creative? Below is a simple
French recipe for crêpes (pancakes), can you complete the tasks to get you to
the finished product?

   1) Using a dictionary or Wordreference.com, translate the easy recipe into
      English onto a separate piece of paper or card. (You’ll need to be accurate
      otherwise you won’t know which ingredients to include in your crêpes.

   2) Can you now try to make your recipe card as colourful/decorative as
      possible – how ‘French’ can you make it look?

   3) With the help of an adult, could you now try out your crêpe recipe? See
      how many you can make and which toppings you prefer?

   -   When we return to school, there will be prizes for the best design recipe
       and the best-looking crêpes, so please try to take photos of your
       progress as you go along. (Why not share these with us on Twitter
       @RastrickMFL so we can see your progress?)

Bonne dégustation!
