A lesson introducing the topic of hobbies and interests. Requires Listening from Métro 1, Module 4, unit 3 (pg 60) - ex 1a

I was teaching the topic of family members to a Y7 group a few weeks ago, and one of them asked me how we would call family members who identified as non-binary. It stumped me! There was a wealth of information to read, but zero resources, so thanks to some very helpful linguists (credited in the PPT), I was able to put together the attached lesson. It is very heavily (if not entirely!) based on the information they have provided; I just hoped to make it accessible to pupils. I hope you find this useful; always happy to hear how to make this even more pupil-friendly (I think there might be a bit much text…).

I created this as a way of monitoring progress as a result of past paper practice. The spreadsheet automatically determines the GCSE grade for both foundation and higher tier for each paper, though you will have to keep your own record of which student took which paper (perhaps highlight the grade in the tier column of the paper they sat?). I have included the raw mark grade boundaries for each paper; if you spot any errors, please feel free to give a shout! This could be adapted for use with written and spoken controlled assessments too; I just haven't gotten round to that yet. Hope you find this useful - please comment if you have any suggestions for improvement (or even if not)! Enjoy! Miss P
