sequences
dates

physical description
family
animals + colours
word order
where we live
free time
i form vs. infinitive verbs
opinions + infinitive verbs

Each unit consolidates key vocab, gives students several opportunities to practice the vocabulary and grammar in different contexts - and most importantly the activities vary greatly - meaning they’re not super dry! I’ve also taken extra care to ensure all resources are attractive and easily accessible as I teach a mixed ability year 11 class (targets 3-8)
