Zim Zam Zoum Module 1 (Promethean Version) consists of seven comprehensive
Activprimary flipcharts, comprising flexible lessons to cover the first year of French.
The flipcharts use the backgrounds and graphics from the songs to bring character
and vitality to the activities, so that the look is colourful and engaging.

Each flipchart is divided into suggested lessons, with a lesson plan at the start, listing
the activities/objectives and the skills covered.  The lessons begin with revision starter
activities and move progressively through the stages of vocabulary presentation, practice
and consolidation in oracy and literacy, through to role-play. (Incorporated along the way
are knowledge about language, language learning strategies, grammar and
intercultural study).

These lessons are only suggestions and can be customised and used in a highly flexible way.
Using the tray of thumb-nails of the activity pages, it is possible to dip in and out of activities
with great ease.

The animated songs and karaoke versions are embedded in each flipchart and can be
accessed easily as the flipchart progresses. They are not necessarily positioned at the
beginning of the flipchart, as usually the necessary vocabulary is introduced first through
exercises and activities.

Extending far beyond the standard drag and drop exercises of most language-learning
software, these flipcharts use an extensive range of interactive devices and games,
with a generous range of great activities to choose from. All activities are designed for
maximum interactivity, with full use of the large range of tools available on the Promethean
interface: pens for annotation; eraser to rub and reveal;  colour change; roller dice;
spotlight tool; blind reveal; sound; and of course Activote for instant assessment,
There is also an interesting  and innovative use of tickertapes.

Every page is accompanied by clear and comprehensive teacher’s notes to help you get
the most out of the activity – available on screen in one easy click, or in a printable version.

Knowledge about language is carefully addressed and, as with all the activities, the grammar presentation and practice can be adopted  or not according to the choice of the teacher.

Most units also contain a page of suggestions of websites to investigate in order to develop
intercultural knowledge.
