Worksheet on the topic of clothing designed for low ability Y8 groups to get on with independently during speaking assessment. Designed for a group who struggled to complete Linguascope sheets and Gianfranco Conti sheets in a cover lesson so needed something simpler.
Reading task based on Expo 2 Vert p62 but extended (I have added an extra text and broken down the activities more).
This is for a low ability group so begins with the basics - recognising food words they have done and underlining them.
Then they have to identify which person mentions which foods, and there are some extension questions for the more able in the group to move onto.

The KOs are divided into Productive Language (what we teach students to say and write) and Receptive Language (mostly taken from the AQA specification list) which they need to understand for Reading and Listening but don’t necessarily need to use in their own work.
The KOs can be used to structure lesson planning, as a sentence builder or scaffold for students during written/spoken tasks, and for setting homework (typically half a column per week for vocab tests).
I hope you find these useful. Check out my other resources if you did. :)
