German - 'How to improve your work'

German - 'How to improve your work'

My students stick this sheet into their exercise books at the start of the year for reference throughout the year. It has literacy codes on it, along with some phrases to help the students speak spontaneously (they tally every time they use one of the phrases). Alongside the literacy codes used in students’ work, there are columns for me to tick each term, which means students have to focus on their weakest area (spelling, punctuation, etc.). The ‘STAC’ referred to on the sheet is an assessed piece of work done each term, but this can be deleted/edited as you please.

On the first slide, pupils must decide whether the opinion word is positive or negative. Pupils then give a sentence, giving their opinion, to play Battleships. For example, “Ich finde das Hemd altmodisch.” Use that grid reference to reveal a square by clicking on it. If there’s an exploded battleship underneath, that team gets the point. If not, move over to the other team. There are 5 to find.
