This is a term's worth of lessons focused on creating a party. It has reading, listening, writing and speaking activities on the topics of food, clothes, furniture, festivals, invitations and shopping. It introduces adjective agreements, the future tense, questioning and giving opinions. The full PowerPoint slides, worksheets and resources are included. Designed for a year 8 class, could also be used for year 9 or 10. The slides also include thinking tools (e.g. DeBono hats and 'Habits of Excellence') which can easily be deleted if you do not use them in your school. On each slide there is also scaffolding help and an extension task for stretch and challenge. Enjoy!

This is a lesson to develop the GCSE Speaking exam element of the role play. There includes a whole class role play activity. Pupils go to different airlines around the classroom and ask for the price of different tickets based on if they want a return flight, baggage or food on-board. They then need to visit check in and find out when their flight departs. This resource gets every pupil involved and practicing real-world language. The whole-lesson PowerPoint guides pupils through the dialog in preparation for the whole-class activity. There is also a role play card example as a plenary. Pupils also complete their own passport and use it during the role play. Enjoy!

Here are 7 worksheets for students to gain a deep understanding of the themes of Kleiner Mann Was Nun by Hans Fallada. I created this worksheets to guide a student through the Cambridge International A Level German writing exam, but it could be used if you choose this text for IB or other exam boards. It focuses on themes of the book then moves onto essay writing skills (PEEL). Worksheets are in English so students can move through quickly, but the references to the text are in German.

This is a battleships game to fit in with them learning about activities using the internet. It introduces the perfect tense with avoir.

I have been experimenting and have taught German tenses using a pictorial, dual-coding method which I have found more successful that normal “text book” ways. This is still explicit grammar teaching of the tenses, but it does away with the wordy grammar terms which don’t stick in students memory, but conveys the sentence structure in picture form. I have found this incredibly useful by embedding this into the language of the classroom e.g. “we are creating sandwich and car sentences”, which helps with student self error-correction too e.g. “how do you make a sandwich sentence again?” Each tense is made of 3 ingredients which form a whole picture sandwich and car (for past: not moving and moving), fortune cookie (for future) and bed (for conditional). There is a PowerPoint to explain the concept and a sentence builder so students can follow the pattern straight away.
