For the 2027 SEC G3 French syllabus, use K370. To plan a G3 French picture story, identify the main event in each picture, connect the events in order and choose language that communicates the story clearly. Did you know that six accurate picture descriptions can still feel disconnected? The reader needs to understand how one event leads to the next, not only what objects appear.
Use a teacher-approved practice sequence and give each picture a short event label. Check who acts, what changes and how the ending connects with the earlier events. Then draft in French. A parent can discuss the sequence without supplying the sentences or inventing events that replace what the pictures show.

2027 SEC school-candidate guide, checked 12 October 2026. The examples and study suggestions are independent activities, not official examination questions. Confirm registration and school assessment arrangements with the school.
Confirm G3 French K370 and the examination year with the school or teaching provider. This English-language guide explains a planning routine, not a full French model composition. Use appropriate French materials and teacher feedback for actual vocabulary, tense, agreement and expression.
For the wider context, open the G3 French subject overview. Keep the confirmed subject, current school topic and teacher’s next suggested task in one place.
| Paper | Time | Marks / weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Writing | 1 hour 30 minutes | 60 raw marks / 33% |
| 2: Reading | 1 hour 15 minutes | 45 raw marks / 33% |
| 3: Listening | About 35 minutes | 30 raw marks / 17% |
| 4: Oral | About 10 minutes | 60 raw marks / 17% |
Paper 1 requires both questions. Question 1 is a 140–150-word composition describing a story in six pictures. Question 2 is a directed-writing choice, also requiring 140–150 words. All four papers are taken, and dictionaries are not permitted in the assessment.
Open the official SEAB syllabus for the full requirements. Use that document with the school’s instructions when preparing assessment work.
If the plan skips a picture, add its relevant event before polishing the opening. If the story jumps between actions, clarify the connection. If a long invented introduction uses most of the available length, shorten it so the depicted events can be communicated. Accurate language and task coverage need to work together.
Choose one task that felt manageable and one that needs help. Discuss the difference using the student’s actual work. Ask the teacher to clarify an uncertain requirement before treating it as a learning weakness.
Try this original imagined sequence: a student packs a picnic; reaches a park; sees litter beside a bench; collects the litter safely with an adult; uses a bin; then enjoys the clean space with friends. Make a short plan that includes each stage. This is independent planning practice, not an official set of examination pictures.
The central change is from finding a littered space to helping make it usable. Packing and arriving establish the situation; noticing the litter explains the later action; the final picnic resolves the sequence. A long detour about an unrelated school competition would distract from these events. The precise French wording should be checked separately rather than treating an English plan as a translation template.
Draft a manageable version, check the required length and compare it with the picture sequence. Keep the narrative time frame clear and review the verb forms with teacher guidance. Use connecting language because it expresses a real relationship, not simply to display a list of memorised linking words.
Try another sequence and ask whether the student can plan it without your event labels. Compare coverage, clarity and expression with teacher feedback. Keep the other writing task, reading, listening and oral practice in the wider plan; one picture-story routine does not replace the full French syllabus.
The Secondary 1 Mathematics learning guide offers a principle useful across subjects: identify the foundation, practise in a sensible sequence and use corrections to choose the next step. Apply that habit here through a task the student can explain and revisit.
