Unit 3 of the 1st Bac syllabus covers Media — a topic students already engage with daily, paired with one of the more foundational tenses in the syllabus: the present perfect. Below are five free, ready-to-teach lesson plans covering the full unit.
All five are free to download, built on the ESA model (Engage, Study, Activate) and aligned with the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach.
What’s Included
Vocabulary: Media
Key vocabulary related to media and communication, giving students the language they need to discuss news, entertainment, and information sources confidently.
Grammar: Present Perfect
A full lesson on the present perfect, one of the tenses students most often confuse with the simple past, taught here in a media-related context that gives it real purpose.
Functions: Expressing Interest or Indifference
Practice expressing genuine interest or indifference — natural, everyday language that connects easily to discussing media and entertainment preferences, and tested directly in the exam’s language section.
Reading: Interests
A reading passage centered on interests, building comprehension skills alongside genuine engagement with the topic.
Writing: A Personal Letter
A complete lesson on personal letter writing, giving students practice with a warmer, more informal register than more formal writing tasks elsewhere in the syllabus.
Built for the 1st Bac syllabus
All five lessons are aligned with the Unit 3 curriculum and the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach, so they slot directly into your existing pacing for this unit.
How to Use These in Class
Contrast the present perfect with the simple past directly
Since this confusion is so common, a few side-by-side examples (“I have watched the news today” vs. “I watched the news yesterday”) early in the Grammar lesson prevents the distinction from getting muddled later.
Use interest and indifference to personalize the reading
Before the Reading lesson, ask students to say which media topics genuinely interest them and which don’t, using language from the Functions lesson — it gives the reading a more personal entry point.
Let the personal letter reference real media habits
Encouraging students to mention a real show, app, or news source they follow in their personal letter makes the writing task feel more authentic than a generic prompt.
Present perfect needs a genuine time-reference contrast
Keep a running pair of example sentences on the board throughout the lesson — one with a finished time reference (yesterday, last week) and one without (today, this week, ever) — so students always have a live reference for which tense fits which situation.

Yes — all five lesson plans (vocabulary, grammar, functions, reading, and writing) are free to download individually.
Both tenses describe past actions, but the present perfect connects that action to the present moment (“I have watched”) while the simple past marks a finished, specific time (“I watched yesterday”) — a distinction that’s clearer with direct, contrasted examples than with rules alone.
Yes — they follow the 1st Bac Unit 3 syllabus, the ESA model, and the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach.
It focuses on expressing genuine interest or indifference — natural language for discussing media and entertainment preferences, and a function tested directly in the exam.
