KS2 & KS3 Frameworks: a 7-14 Curriculum

Handouts – KS3 and KS2• Game – envelope sorting Year 6 & Year 7 Objectives

• Game - ne…pas sandwiches

• GAME - dear Zoo/habitat sentences

• Discussion – what is progression in language learning & how do you measure it?

• Game – sort the skills into starnds & years 3-7

• Progression in language skills IS NOT THE ACCUMULATION OF VOCABULARY IN TOPICS

• We need to TRUST each other not re-teach

No set content because finally the teacher is recognised as

expert!

Which could also be a little scary…

Teach a language not a topic!

What is progression?

When choosing new schemes, ask yourself:What language exactly are we teaching?

Why?

Au royaume de Dô…

Les personnages:

Le roi de Dô Je m’appelle Dô Môgô Niémôgô

Diatta Koné

Le roi de Mandé

Je suis le roi de

Mandé.

Le roi de Dô La sœur du Roi de Dô.

Je suis la sœur du roi.

Le buffle

Grrrr....

Les deux chasseurs de Mandé

Au royaume de Dô…

il y a un roi puissant et généreux, qui s’appelle Dô

Môgô Niémôgô Diatta Koné.

Il a une sœur qui est très bavarde

et cela l’énerve beaucoup.

Un jour, il organise une fête et tout le monde est

invité…sauf sa sœur. Elle est furieuse !

Elle décide de se venger de son frère. Elle se transforme en buffle géant et commence à s’attaquer aux récoltes

du pays.

Le Roi demande à tous les chasseurs du pays de tuer le buffle et de lui ramener sa queue. Il fait appel à deux grands chasseurs du Royaume voisin, le Royaume de

Mandé.

En chemin, ils rencontrent une vieille femme qui a

faim et soif. Ils lui donnent du pain et de l’eau.

Elle les remercie et dit :

« Je sais pourquoi vous voyagez. Vous êtes à la recherche

du buffle géant. Le buffle c’est moi. »

« Mais puisque vous êtes généreux, je vais arrêter de

dévaster le pays. Je vais vous donner ma queue pour le

Roi…mais à une condition. »

« Après votre triomphe, le Roi vous récompensera en vous demandant de choisir la plus belle femme de

Dô pour le Roi de Mandé. »

« Vous choisirez la plus moche qui s’appelle Sogolon Diatta. C’est mon double.»

« Elle sera la mère de votre futur Roi qui va faire des choses extraordinaires pour votre pays. »

A leur retour, le Roi Dô invite les chasseurs de Mandé à

une grande fête en leur honneur sur la place publique.

Quand le roi leur demande de choisir une femme, d’entre

toutes les femmes du pays, les chasseurs choisissent la

plus moche : Sogolon Diatta.

En arrivant en Mandé, ils la présentent à leur Roi. Le

Roi Naré Maghan Konfata se marie avec Sogolon Diatta.

Neuf mois plus tard, Sogolon Diatta donne naissance à un garçon prénommé Soundjata ou Sogolon Diatta qui devient l’Empereur du Mali.

FIN.

L’histoire… dans l’ordre!
