This French New Year’s Resolutions editable sentence builder supports students in KS3 and KS4 to talk and write about goals, habits and personal resolutions using the near future tense.

The resource helps students structure accurate sentences by combining:

• Opinion starters (Je voudrais, Je pense que…)
• Future constructions (Je vais, Je vais essayer de, J’ai décidé de)
• Time phrases (l’année prochaine, à l’avenir, à partir de maintenant)
• High-frequency vocabulary linked to health, lifestyle, school and relationships

What’s included:

• A clear, scaffolded and editable document (one page)
• Model sentences to support speaking and writing

Suitable for:

• Upper KS3 and KS4 French
• Introducing or consolidating the future tense
• New Year or goal-setting lessons
• Low-prep teaching and cover lessons
• Ideal for mixed-ability classes

How to use in class:
• Ask students to highlight examples of the je vais + infinitive structure
• Model 3 personalised sentences before students write 5 of their own
• Turn it into a speaking grid - students share resolutions with partners
• Use as a writing scaffold for a 40–90 word GCSE-style paragraph
