For my last lesson in y7 we will use this revision clock, printed to A3, to recap everything they learnt so far this year
You can change the writing to be your topics, of course
Analysez les raisons pour lesquelles l’amitié se développe entre No et Lou.
This was one of the questions on the 2024 AQA paper. I set it for my students this week in class and while they were writing I wrote this model one to share with them as an example of the sort of thing I am looking for.
When I return their marked essays I attach a copy of my own essay in the hope that they can upscale their work.
Describing a seaside town, saying what you can do there, why you like it
EPI work and activities based on a sentence builder
Our local seaside town in Skegness but obviously please change it to yours
A day out a the beach using a Sentence Builder to describe a seaside town, what there is in a town and say why we like it, what you can do there
We re-wrote our SoW to be more relevant to our local context and we love Skegness, our nearest seaside town
You could of course change the name of the town to your closest resort, I hope it’s as fun as Skeg
Lots of activities and EPI style content of course
Spot the difference sheet, basic paragraphs about family (brothers, sisters, a little extra detail). Students pick out basic info then use it as a model to write their own
Family vocab sheet building up to writing a piece about family via a basic sentence builder, example paragraph, translation gapfill and word find activity
I am covering the Spanish topic of technology with year 9 Foundation Spanish group. These are the resources I have made to support the topic.
I am trying to also remind students of past topic (family) and adverbs of frequency as I go.
Spanish KS3 where I live, my house, jobs in the house
Simple worksheets to build up students’ vocabulary on saying where they live (town, village, beach, mountains, north, south) and then what rooms are in that house.
I try to make them so students can work without too much teacher input - one of the sheets was an hour’s cover I had to set and it seemed to go well!
Moves on to jobs in the house
Resources to build vocab, encourage comprehension and support writing on the topic of using the internet - technology. eg I share photos, I go online, I play games, I contact my family
Includes adverbs of frequency and opinion phrases.
One sheet I made for a homework task so very independent
There are 3 sheets and a differentiated version of one of them for Higher students
KS3 Spanish opinions on school subjects
Battleships grid to encourage speaking / reading out loud on basic opinions and subjects
Sentence builder on giving opinions on school subjects
A worksheet introducing vocabulary about Post 16 education and aiming to get students able to form correct sentences about plans using basic modal verbs.
Vocab then translation and sentence builder.
A good intro to the topic and I have made this for home learning. I found it took my students 20 mins or so when we did it on Teams. Would make a good homework or cover task but also good to crack on with in class.
A vocab and sentence building sheet for students to write about Christmas, plus a battleships game to play afterwards.
Students fill in vocab Spanish to English and vice versa. Then they use the sentence builder (modals) to write about Christmas.
The battleships game they see as a reward but in fact they have to read sentences many many times to win.
A scaffolded worksheet with the aim of getting students to write about their Christmas in French.
Starts off with vocab into English then French.
Sentence builder to get students to translate sentences into French using modals.
Followed by three model paragraphs - all very similar with details changed. I was going to use the opportunity to revise telling the time and daily routine. Students are asked to complete three gapfilled translations into English then translate one back into French.
Finally they should be able to write about their own Christmas.
If they have worked very nicely there is a battleships game to play too
Six pages of revision that I prepared for my year 7 students to use independently. We are using the textbook Allez and our upcoming assessment will rely heavily on Unit 3 with some vocabulary from the first two units thrown in.
The revision booklet covers vocabulary, sentences and translation. There is a Foundation GCSE style writing activity with support down the left- hand side of the page.
This booklet would be ideal for a cover lesson.
There is also a version with the answers.
Three worksheets I use to get GCSE French students speaking and then writing about past holidays
oral translation sheet: students use the example to take it in turns (in pairs or threes?) orally translating sentences using the example to help. The sentences start very simple and add a bit each time to get harder. I follow this up by asking them to do a written translation of about 5 of them.
trapdoor activity: pair work. Each student selects ONE of the options (in secret) and takes it in turns to read the paragraph to their friend guessing each time which option their friend has chosen in a sentence. Their turn finishes when they make a mistake. Of course this means they will read the sentences a lot of times!
spot the difference: several similar but slightly different paragraphs about a holiday. Highlight differences, pick out what they mean then write your own similar one.
