John Connor || What do you do in different types of weather? || by Jackie Berry || For young students of French who are discovering nouns, gender, adjectival postion & agreement. This example shows how to create a story from a basic structure & a small amount of language. || Carla is a now-retired French teacher from Toronto, who recently discovered and was enchanted by Storybird. This is a great story for more advanced French learners - it has the present, perfect and future tenses, plus the subjunctive and conditional. There are also lots of great idioms. But the best part is the excellent match of story to pictures. Highly recommended!! || by Carolyn George || "Using the Perfect Tense to write about a very strange weekend. Hoping to encourage my pupils to be creative." This story sparkles with life and fun. Just enough familiar vocabulary and names to draw pupils in, but challenge them at he same time. Thank you very much Carolyn. || by Fiona Joyce || Practice of the conditional tense with some less-frequent verbs in there. Suitable for Y9 or KS4.
