HUNDREDS OF ACTIVITIES TO COVER ALL 12 TOPICS IN GREAT DETAIL -
I’ve attached some screenshots to give you an idea of the range of activities. Lots of differentiated reading/listening/writing/grammar tasks.

**These are all original resources that have been developed over the course of the year and transformed into a4 booklets for my current year 11s. **
Could be used for remote learning, homeworks, or adapted to support lessons.
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)
