In today’s lesson we would like you to produce a mind map about what life was like when your parents/guardians/ grandparents were younger. If you are unable to ask anyone why not do some research on someone famous. You will need to ask and find out the answer to some questions through an informal interview or over the phone. Then research some of the things you have discussed. Perhaps there’s a particular toy or tv programme your grandad liked? Then create a mind map of when they were younger using the imperfect tense in French. Questions you could ask: Where did you used to live? What did you used to dream of? What did you used to hate? What did you used to wear? What did you used to watch? What did you used to play?

Here are some imperfect tense verbs you could use in your mind map Il/Elle habitait à Il/Elle avait Il/Elle jouait Il/Elle regardait Il/Elle aimait Il/Elle détestait Il/Elle portait He/she used to live in He/ she used to have He/ she used to play He/ she used to watch He/ she used to like He/ she used to hate He/ she used to wear Il/Elle rêvait He/ she used to dream

Here is an example of a Elle habitait mindmap about my grandma à Newcastle Elle jouait au Cootie Ma grandmère Elle rêvait d’être coiffeuse Elle regardait The Roy Rodgers show Elle avait les cheveux roux Elle portait une mini jupe
