Interactive drag-and-drop IW activity for practising jobs and professions. The activity has 50 jobs embedded, but will select at random 10 jobs to practise each time it is opened. With any luck it will never be the same activity twice!

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.

Simple Powerpoint activity for practising key verbs related to the topic of the environment.

The first file contains a text modelling a relatively straight forward description of a dream home, followed by conjugation of möchte, wäre and hätte. The second file contains a toolkit to help students write about a dream home. They could do this from their own point of view or from the point of view of a fictitious character. PS Typo fixed!

The link is to a six-minute video clip in which young Germans test three different means of transport for price, comfort, speed and environmental impact. The worksheet has (i) a comprehension task relating to the video (ii) an article covering the video content which students can use to check or augment their answers (iii) a comprehension task based on the article (iv) a speaking task and (v) a writing task. If the link doesn't work, just put Wie öko sind Fernbus, Bahn und Auto? into a youtube search.

It will also arrange the questions and the multi-choice answers in random order. With any luck it will never be the same twice. PS In response to the comments below I have de-bugged the original file. This one should be error-free. I've changed the background colour of the exercise too.
