Fusee Evaluated

Published by Hodder Murray

Modern foreign languages

KS3 (Years 7 - 9)

Some of the websites accessed from this site can be useful, whether or not you use the excellent fusee textbooks. However, overall the site was disappointing – for one thing, there were no lesson plans or worksheets attached. Students did need guidance and prompting, as the site was entirely in French and required them to scan for information, though it is a good resource for more able and confident students.
