Pool of resources on daily routine

A boardgame with a pool of resources to support their use: a pre-game translation warm-up task, a vocabulary consolidation task, a set of talking mats with all the chunks involved in the game (with translation) and an OCD (oral communicative drills) follow-up task.

A range of narrow reading tasks + a pre-reading vocab building task

Three resources I have used with my year 8 (mixed ability) to drill in -ARSE reflexive verbs across all persons. Lots of recycling, tons of activities, enough for one lesson. A logical follow-up to the resources I posted last week (see below)

INSTRUCTIONS - The students work in pairs. They have a sheet with two sets of English sentences to translate into French, but Partner A has the French translation of first set, whereas Partner B has the translation of second set. It is called 'Oral ping-pong translation' because they do it orally, Partner A challenging Partner B with a sentence and showing the correct answer to provide them with feedback and to award points (3 for perfect sentence, 2 for one mistake only, 1 if there are mistakes but at least the verb is correctly formed). I give them a time limit (10 minutes); when the time is up the person with the higher score wins. Best to have people of similar ability in each pair. As a follow-up, students to make a note of the most serious mistakes they made in their books so that I have an idea of what their problem areas are. Differentiation opportunities are obvious: different sets of sheets for groups of different ability
