An extra easy version of my general conversation booklet for students who get overwhelmed when faced with too much. Each question is provided with a very simple writing frame to help structure very simple one or two line answers. I have also cut out a lot of the more difficult topics such as poverty, charity work and environment. I will be giving this booklet to my students who, at the moment are even struggling to get a grade 4, as they have no idea where to even start with their speaking preparation.

Is anyone else fed up of their foundation students not using their resources and writing whatever pops into their heads, or complaining that 40 words is too much?! In this document, I have written 10(ish) words for every AQA bullet point so far to show them a) It’s not that much per bullet point and b) they can keep it simple and use phrases from the resources they’ve been given! Fingers crossed it works!

This is a bundle of resources to help Year 10 pupils write answers to suggested speaking questions for Theme 1, Unit 1, although it could be used for other revision too. It is based on the Kerboodle book and I have taken suggested questions from the book only, so that most can be answered with mainly what is in the book, and not many additional resources. Where additional resources are required, I have provided them. Included is: A vocab sheet focusing on key words from the topic. A grammar sheet focusing on how to say what you do/did/will do with your family/friends in different tenses (I included this as there was not much in the book on it and the other tenses are not studied in detail until later on in the book. It is suitable for pupils who have studied other tenses in KS3 and need a reminder. Example sentences can be adapted by them, even if they don’t fully understand how to use the tenses yet. Example answers to the suggested speaking questions with a bullet point list of grammar points they can spot and highlight before attempting their own answers. A sheet for their own answers including a checklist of the aforementioned grammar points. A PowerPoint to bring it all together.
