	About the CDs




	The CDs contain the story and activities in both Promethean and Smartboard format.

	Please note that the CDs are not recommended for Apple Mac users with Promethean boards as you may experience some problems running the sound files.

	Clicking on the speech bubble or the text on the screen will play the sentence in French. Teachers can play each sentence as often as they wish allowing pupils plenty of opportunity to hear the language and follow the meaning with the aid of the excellent pictures. Click the cartoon strip on the right to hear the first sentence.


		There are 4 stories currently available for the interactive whiteboard in French and Spanish. These are: Lucie Chat à la plage/La Gatita Lucía en la playa Lucie Chat en ville/La Gatita Lucía en la ciudad Lucie Chat à la ferme/La Gatita Lucía en la granja Lucie Chat à la fête/La Gatita Lucía en la fiesta




		Over 25 slides of activities to practise the key language in the story!

Following the story on each CD, 25 or more slides provide a range of activities designed for whole class interaction. These slides give a large number of opportunities for practice of the key vocabulary and sentence structures in the stories and can be exploited on a number of levels. Comprehensive guidance on how to exploit the resource is given on a slide by slide basis using Activ Primary’s teachers’ notes function or as an attachment to the Smartboard Notebook file. These notes are also reproduced on the CD in a file called (unsurprisingly) Teachers’ Notes and can be viewed or printed off at your convenience.

Activities include opportunities and suggestions for using features such as the pull-down screen, the spotlight, the dice and the eraser. It is hoped that teachers will also develop their own ways of further exploiting the resource and the Activ Primary 2 and Smartboard 9.5 formats in which the story and activities are contained allow all aspects of the Flipchart or Notebook to be edited and adapted by teachers.


	A dual language book accompanies each CD, providing individual reading opportunities to pupils and a comprehnsion check if needed..
