I gave the students the communication descriptors cut up and range/ accuracy to highlight they did the activities on the slides to help them understand and we discussed as we went through. they then did a spiderdigramm to write up. I felt it helped. I have done similar for speaking if interested.
I showed pupils basic verbs and they paired meaings then a short passage in the imperfect to translate- I got the idea from the Sootie imperfect presentation on tes - thank you :)
then students worked through teh sheet in between explanations- most found it simple enough- it is not exciting but I hope it is useful to someone
