Year 10 French

Critical and creative thinking in Year 10 French

Students in Year 10 French have learnt to talk about past events in French using the passé composé. Recently, they were given the challenge of creating a poster/infographic which would assist other learners of French to understand this complex verb tense.

Firstly, students evaluated commercially-produced posters:

They then used Canva to design their own. Students had to apply critical thinking to synthesise a number of elements and explain a complex concept. Their creativity was called upon to present this information in an attractive and accessible way.

After their first drafts were printed, students participated in a “gallery walk” peer feedback session, giving constructive suggestions as to how to improve each other’s work. Students in Year 11 French also evaluated the posters and wrote comments in French to their peers in Year 10.

Students have applied the feedback and the finished products are now on display in C11. They look great and are already drawing the attention and interest of younger students.

Well done, Year 10 French!
