Four texts in which teenagers describe their work experience in fairly brief terms. The texts are followed by a comprehension exercise, a find the phrase exercise, a manipulation exercise and a writing task.
This is an extended version of a ppt I uploaded previously. It consists of a number of pictures of people, celebs and otherwise, and the pupils simply have to speculate as to how old they are.
The text is a simplified version of the Sixth Form text I've already uploaded. This version is followed by questions in English, a translation exercise and a writing task.
Text about awful holiday souvenirs, why we buy them, and what reaction they get. The text is followed by questions in German, a speaking activity and a writing task.
Text about a Facebook protest regarding difficult questions in a recent Abitur Maths exam, : Schülerproteste; followed by 'True, false, not in text' questions.
Higher Level text about an orchestra from Vienna that performs on instruments made out of vegetables. Bizarre but true. The text is followed by a true / false / not in text exercise.
PPT of the Simpsons family tree with two sets of questions about relationships in The Simpsons. The first set of questions are closed (multiple choice). The second set are open questions relating to the family tree.
PPT practising the use of 'mit' with a personal pronoun. 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.
Relatively simple playscript for beginners who have done SEIN, a few adjectives of personality, and a few basic phrases. There is no real denouement to this dialogue but the pupils generally like it because I have a puppet just like the cat in the script ... Adapt the script to suit whichever props you have to hand. Once the students have practised the script as it stands, they could improvise changes to the words in bold type.
Two parallel texts, pitched at different levels, looking forward to the Paralympic Games 2012. The first text is fairly complex and is followed by questions in English, a 'find the phrase' exercise with a focus on the Future Tense, revision / presentation of the Future, a manipulation exercise, again with a focus on the Future Tense, and finally a writing task featuring past tenses.
The second text, pitched at Foundation level, is virtually verb-free, and is followed by questions in English and no grammar whatsoever.
