Each slide of the powerpoint practises a different German sound / spelling pattern. Slide 1 acts as a homepage for the activity. Students pick an image. When you click on it, it hyperlinks to a phoneme for the class to practise. (This is similar to the one I made for beginners, but the vocab is appropriate to KS4.)
PPT with a single word in German on each slide. Click "view show" and the PPT scrolls through the slides rapidly and loops continuosly until you click the "ESC" key. Students simply have to note down as many words as they can spot. This is adapted from an original template created by Gemma Culliford.
A sequence of activities relating to the film. (i) a relatively straightforward character match-up exercise (ii) translation of a key scene from the Drehbuch (iii) comparison of the scene as it stands in the Drehbuch with the scene as it actually is in the film (iv) structured discussion of what might account for the differences (v) an exercise putting events in the first half of the film into the correct order and (vi) a more demanding match-up exercise using extended quotes from the Drehbuch. I made this for an able Year 11 FL2 group but could easily be adapted for AS or A2.
