Mon JT Quotidien is a cool site from PlanèteJuniors which includes engaging video bulletins and transcripts for the day's news. It could be a useful way of giving pupils a flavour of what is happening around the world and improving their French at the same time.As the content is organised in manageable bitesize chunks, it would be suitable for using with more able pupils at KS4 and A' Level students. The headlines could also be exploited for younger pupils in KS3.
Items are archived on the site for up to three weeks meaning they could be used more than once with different classes. Why not have a look at previous clips, to get a flavour of the complexity of language involved?
For more links on foreign language news sites, have a look at this earlier post which you may find useful.
I am loving this site! I am using it for a lab activity with my students coupled with a podcast:
