Writing Strategies

  1. Read the title carefully!
  2. Look at the bullet points in the task. They are not compulsary but are very useful in planning your coursework.
  3. Use language that you have read or used in lessons. Look through your exercise book for examples of structures and sentences which fit the task.
  4. Never work out what you want to say in English first and then translate it into French.

When you have finished writing

    1. Read your work to make sure that each sentence makes sense.
    2. Run a Grammar Check: (use the check list sheet which cover the following points:
    3. Check the tense of every verb.
    4. Check the ending of every verb - is it the correct ending for the person?
    5. Check the gender of every noun (un/une/des, le/la/l’/les)
    6. Check that adjectives agree with the noun they describe(masculine/feminine, singular/plural) and that they are in the right place (usually after the noun)
    7. Check all spellings, using the dictionary when necessary, and including accents.
    8. Check that you have included past, present and future
    9. Check that you have given opinions and reasons – if all the tasks are complete, these should be there.
    10. Check that you have included link words to generate longer sentences.
