Give your Year 12 students the texts, language and practice they need to discuss stress, alcohol and drugs with accuracy, maturity and confidence.
Les jeunes face aux défis is a complete reading, writing and oral workbook for the Unit 4 topic Youth issues. It takes students to France, Switzerland, Belgium and Québec to explore three challenges young people face: stress and school pressure, alcohol, and drugs and vaping. Facts about laws and campaigns have been checked against official sources, the people in the texts are fictitious, and the tasks ask for opinions, never personal disclosures.
Student Workbook (45 pages)
A wellbeing note at the start, written for students, with Australian support services
Repères: eight key concepts explained in French (mental health, the standard drink, dependence, prevention and harm reduction…), what the law says about alcohol, cannabis and vaping in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Québec, and prevention campaigns and support services in the French-speaking world
Six reading texts set in French-speaking communities: a forum thread on exam pressure, an interview with a school psychologist on perfectionism and screens, a student's month without alcohol during Belgium's Tournée Minérale, a magazine article on binge drinking, a Québec prevention leaflet on cannabis, and a blog post about quitting vaping
ATAR-style comprehension: questions in English, in text order, with mark allocations (172 marks in total), plus vocabulary in context, language analysis and a short response task for every text
A rich bilingual sentence bank: 76 model sentences organised by function (describing the problem, causes, consequences, giving advice, giving and qualifying an opinion, hypothesising, proposing solutions, structuring an argument), with the key structures highlighted
Grammar in context: the subjunctive after il faut que, bien que and pour que, si clauses and connectives, with four practice activities
Fifteen conversation questions for the practical examination, in three themes, with a three-step method for developing answers
Writing tasks: two Part A stimulus responses and three Part B extended responses (article, letter to a newspaper, speech), with a planning frame and checklist
Answer Key & Marking Guide (17 pages, teacher only): every answer with mark allocations, teaching notes and a suggested sequence, guidance for teaching sensitive topics, what to look for in each conversation question, a practice marking guide and task-specific points for each writing task
Annotated Model Answers (10 pages): nine model conversation answers and five model written responses (e-mail, blog post, article, letter to a newspaper, speech), each annotated to show what makes it work
Year 12 French: Second Language ATAR students and their teachers. Aligned to the current ATAR course (learning context: The changing world; topic: Youth issues). Use it in class, for homework, for revision or as the core of your youth issues unit.
Health information is accurate, calm and non-sensational, with a focus on prevention and asking for help. The oral and writing tasks ask students what they think about young people and society, never about their own experiences, and the teacher notes include practical guidance for teaching these topics safely.
This workbook complements our Le monde qui nous entoure | Year 12 French ATAR Unit 4 | Vocabulary & Exam Practice Pack. The vocabulary lists are in that pack; this workbook puts them to work in new texts and tasks, with no repeated content.
You receive editable Word files and print-ready PDFs (A4) in one download. All texts are original and written for this resource. This is an independent Érudits resource, not official SCSA material.
