The following tasks will enable you to evaluate your progress in French in Year 9 and set goals for Year 10. You will revise the modules covered this year as well as practice key skills for the new French GCSE such as Roleplay, Translation, Grammar and Reading.

TASK ONE - PLCS Read each of the PLCs (Personalised Learning Checklist) for the five modules you have covered in Year 9. Before doing the summer bridging tasks, colour the circle in “Before Bridging Tasks” in green if you feel are confident with that module, red if you are struggling and yellow if you somewhere in the middle. After completion of the transition tasks, colour the circle in the “After Bridging Tasks” column in green, red or yellow to see where you have made progress and where you still need to develop on. Make a note in the box beneath the PLC on what you feel you are good at within each module and what areas you could improve upon.

TASK TWO – 10 FOUNDATION FRENCH TASKS (2 PER EACH MODULE) There are different Bridging Tasks for you to complete based on the five year 9 modules. There is a variety of tasks which cover different skills examined in the new GCSE. You should complete all of these tasks to the best of your ability. Bring your completed PLCs and Bridging Tasks to your first Spanish lesson in September so that your teacher can mark it for you.
