	>		>
Introduce the written word - activities with word recognition and some writing - if you wish		Talking points - talk about what happens in your community, and discuss similarities with what the children see in France.		Website - gives more suggestions for lesson activities, plus links to helpful sources of information for teachers and children on the internet. Before you order the Pack, why not explore it for yourself?

The hard-pressed class teacher can go straight to the chapter on each section of the film.

You will find a quick guide to planning simple, effective tried-and-tested lesson activities to fit the class time you have available.

Passing on the hints and tips of many other teachers, the Teacher's Manual helps you plan your lessons using the video as a starting point, with plenty of ideas for a wide range of class and group activities.

	*FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions*
	*What age children is it for?* The pack is a flexible resource placed in the hands of the teacher - by adjusting the speed of progress, and the activities you choose, you can tailor the course to suit your own class, their interests and abilities. We have carefully included a wide range of different-aged children in the video, so your pupils can see it is meant for 'students like them'. Teachers have successfully used these materials with children at different stages in their primary school education. *..how long will it last?* It depends how much time you have, how quickly you work through the activities, and how much you pursue cross-curricular links! With a "typical" primary school class with, say 20-30 mins. a week, it could support work for more than 1 term, up to 1 or 2 school years. Back to top
	*What next, when my class has finished the Starter Pack?*
