3.0 out of 5 stars
Looks good but..., 2 Sep 2007
completely useless without the CD to accompany it! I had assumed it came with it and am now trying to track it down. From the graphics in the book, it looks as though pupils will need access to standard Windows packages (Word, Paint, Powerpoint, sound recorder and Excel) as well as a PC each with headphones and internet access (for at least one of the lessons). The exercises cover: using foreign accents, creating an identity card, rearranging lines of a song, French handwriting, classroom objects school uniform (colouring in in Paint), searching French websites, using powerpoint to create captions for a celebrity gossip-type magazine, sending e-mails, powerpoint about yourself, survey of school subjects turned into piecharts in Excel, cut and paste to create your own school report, inserting symbols (ticks) in a Word document (comprehension questions about TV guide), changing correct answers to bold type (listening comprehension about 'ma ville') then editing it against the correct version, making a brochure about your local area using WordArt, using internet to find the French titles of some famous books that have been translated, writing a book review, exploring French websites for teenagers, reading your horoscope, getting weather info from a French meteorological site, using powerpoint to create a simulated weather forecast (using past, present and future tenses), planning an itinerary for visiting French children, matching rules of the ICT room in French to the correct picture, texting in French and creating a birthday card.
The CD appears to contains lots of templates for the exercises as well as listening exercises. The book is well laid out with lots of tips along the way for ICT skills, although most pupils should be reasonably confident in using Windows packages by key stage 3.
