If you're looking for resources to help your advanced French students (A2 in the UK) with discussions / debates etc, check out the many resources available from www.frenchteacher.net . A while back I came across a word doc containing vocab and a variety of opinions on a whole range of A2 topics to help students to prepare for discussion.
I've taken this vocab and these discussion / opinion phrases and made them into a load of TaskMagic3 exercises. They're on the ready-made exercises page of the TaskMagic website at http://www.mdlsoft.co.uk/readymade.htm#fryear13. The many files available on this link require TaskMagic3. If you haven't got it, you can get a 30-day trial download from http://www.mdlsoft.co.uk/trialdownloads.htm.
I printed out a load of pdf worksheets from the TaskMagic3 files based on the 3 environment sub-sections of the word doc mentioned above (pages 4, 5 & 6). There are 19 pdf files in 3 groups of 6 (ie. 6 pdfs per text) + a vocab list (matching exercise).
Here are some resources that I made based on a song about summer holidays, called "Mes vacances" by Tom Poisson. A link to the song on youtube was posted to the mflresources group last year - - and I've just been reminded of it in replying to a request for a song to help with the topic of holidays.
Here are some resources that I made based on a recipe sent to the mflresources group earlier this year. (If you don't know this group, it really is worth joining - there are over 4000 members and lots of sharing of ideas and resources for language teachers.)
The resources are based on a recipe in French for ratatouille. (The same idea can be applied to any recipe, letter, poem, song, etc.)
