Hallo - greetings and introductions - setting the scene for the year ahead

This is an ideal first lesson. The teacher PPT contains a wall of knowledge whereby pupils can share any German phrases they may know already. Classroom expectations and key topics to be taught in the academic year are also shared with pupils. This is easy to edit to suit your own behaviour for learning expectations and SOW. There are several slides to introduce vocabulary for introducing yourself, greeting people and saying how you are feeling. There is a song to the tune of "nice one Cyril" pupils sing the song and pass an object around. When the verse ends the pupils with the object introduces themselves. There is a scale for pupils to use as a modelled example to tell each other how they are feeling. To consolidate learning there is a reading gap-fill of the phrases that have been introduced. The solution is provided. There is also a plenary to match the pairs.
