A number images of school uniforms from various countries for students to describe and comment on. Also one suggested seventies-style 'teacher uniform' for them to describe and comment on, and which begs the question for further oral work 'Sollten die Lehrer eine Uniform tragen?'
Interview with Mr Bean about towns in France he likes and has visited, loosely based on 'Mr Bean's Holiday'. Not all of his answers fit the questions but pupils generally pick up on this, ( and they can of course be invited to supply the answers Mr Bean should have given ...)
Write-up of the Gordano School Project 'TALK so that pupils listen, and listen so that pupils TALK' which won a European Award for Languages and was awarded the Mary Glasgow Prize.
Multiple choice practice of Perfect Tense structures for relative beginners. The first slide on the PPT acts a homepage for the other slides. Students must select a letter on the homepage and are then hyperlinked to a multiple choice question.
Ppt featuring severely cropped authentic images of places in Berlin (station, supermarket etc). Pupils have to try to guess what the place is and say'Hier gibt es ...'. The cropped image is followed by the full image to confirm the answer or make it a bit easier, and this is then supported with the correct sentence in German. Colour coding has been used to emphasize gender. The final four slides build up a table modelling the use of the Nominative after Das ist vs the Accusative after Es gibt. This could be elicited from students before clicking in each answer.
Question and answer activity. There activity contains a numbered sequence of questions to be asked, and a bullet pointed list of answers to choose from. Students could be expected to answer (i) using only answers on the sheet (ii) an answer on the sheet plus an additional statement of their own devising (iii) an answer on the sheet plus two additional statements of their own devising.
This replaces a previously uploaded version which simply did not work (as my Year 12s discovered.) A text about three contrasting holidays has been broken up and students must reassemble it correctly. This is followed by the original text (ie the solution), a reminder of the Adjective / Comparative / Superlative constructions, and an exercis comparing two of the holidays.
TOOLKIT to help students generate sentences starting with an adverb, adverbial phrase, or subordinate clause, and continuing with the perfect tense of gehen or an imperfect modal + gehen.
A series of statements loosely based on the themes of technology / media / celebrity. Students must speculate how Harry Styles (or any celeb you care to replace him with) would answer the questions. This is followed by writing task. Students then answer similar questions for themselves before doing some pair-work on the topic.
