How I use this resource.
I give students time to translate the bullet points and to write key words in each square. I give them key vocab to reinforce what they constantly forget or find hard.
I would then read a question that matches the bullet point (I usually would make these up). I would then ask a student to give their answer. If the answer is good then on the smart board I write their name in the box. So if they answer describe the photo covering all parts of palms then their name goes in the first box. On each box to get their name in a box they must cover all of the prompts. I keep doing this repeatedly for about five minutes. Once all of the boxes have a name in then students can knock a student out of a box and replace it with their name. At the end of the five minutes all students with their name in the box get a house point.
Included is:
-a vocab learner/ a self quiz sheet
-a crack the code activity
-a mixed activity task sheet looking at the conditional tense of weather and ideal holidays and also time phrases.
Could be used at KS3 and or KS4 with a foundation class.

Students have to rebuild the sentences using the letters from the missing cells below.
Students can then translate the phrases back into English.
Students can then match them to the bullet point that they would go with.
Answers are provided making it an ideal resource for cover too.
