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.
I have covered as much vocabulary as possible (including the majority of the vocab lists in the textbook) and all key grammar points including MA grammar such as subjunctive/ personal a.
Theme 1 (ks3 revision/ family/ relationships/ free time/ customs and festivals) - over 45 activities
Theme 2 (home and local area/ social and global issues including healthy eating/ travel and tourism) - over 85 activities
Theme 3 (studies/ life at school/ post 16 options and future careers) - over 85 activities
Key grammar - all 8 tenses, prepositions, personal a and 3rd person opinions, regular and irregular verbs practice in all tenses including irregular past participles, questions, connectives, time expressions, using different tenses simultaneously.
Writing/ Speaking/ Creation structure tasks to improve fluency when developing ideas.
**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)
Developed to be completed remotely during lockdown, this comprehensive workbook goes through several topics in detail, including key vocabulary and grammar. Tasks are differentiated, with lots of support for lower ability students and stretch and challenge tasks.
Tasks are inductive, and require students to use the vocabulary and grammar in context rather than learning by repetition which is low level, not sufficiently demanding and not as engaging.
Topics include:
numbers, months + time
sequences
dates
spanish speaking countries
physical description
family
animals + colours
word order
where we live
free time
i form vs. infinitive verbs
opinions + infinitive verbs
sports
tv + film
weather
countries + nationalities
holidays
food
as well as LISTENING, READING + WRITING tasks
There is a separate document with answers to tasks.
