Separate booklets for each theme including questions taken from the AQA text books, plus a couple of extras I've added. Each theme has a foundation and higher booklet.
There'll be no prizes won for creativity with this, but hopefully some of you will be able to use it and adapt it! Please let me know if there's any questions you've added so I can use them with my class too.

This is student friendly guide to the speaking exam. It also contains a list of potential questions. Please feel free to use and adapt. If anyone translate this into another language, could you please upload for free for other language teachers to use. Thanks.
Some resources on the topic of Architektur im Alltag.
There's a powerpoint with pictures of 6 contemporary structures in Leipzig which are accompanied by a teacher transcript detailing background information of the buildings - the most able pupils can fill out the note taking document whilst this is read, whilst pupils who require a bit more support can fill out the gap fill exercise (answers are on the last page, can be optionally given to the pupils).
Pupils can then discuss the features of contemporary architecture and the uses of them, and then fill out the descriptions document - could possibly do some peer-assessment of answers afterwards.
3 items included. A PPT with some helpful phrases and a match up game (it needs to be printed and chopped up), a PPT that is a planning sheet for the speaking exam (including suggested timings and question prompts for each section) and a document with some helpful phrases. I’ve left blanks for my students to add their own. Nothing groundbreaking, but does the job!
Here are some sample verb conjugations to be used as bell starters. I display a slide on the board at the start of every lesson, and pupils offer up the conjugations (the reward? They get to sit down once they've given a correct answer!). I've noticed a huge improvement in the use of verb conjugations across all abilities. The slide can be easily adapted (just change the verb at the top, and the conjugations in each box). For higher ability groups, I adapt the pronouns to different nouns/names. Enjoy (and feel free to adapt to Spanish).
Some examples of historical buildings in Leipzig. This follows on from lessons on art history (styles, time periods etc).
Pupils can receive the pictures of the buildings and the time period/building style document, and then annotate the pictures with their knowledge (i.e. pointing out round arches, use of concrete etc).
You could then take them through the pictures so the pupils can jot down the name of the buildings. Afterwards we discussed the different styles, what they individually "say" to the pupil (links to expressing emotion & reaction), and then put together our own tour of Leipzig's architectural styles (using comparatives, superlatives and modal verbs).
The final task was to discuss the final quote (I need to find the author of the quote!) - pupils enjoyed linking in historical background with the actual buildings, although it may prove to be challenging for some.
A lesson I did on Auf dem Markt. Includes some SMSC (considering healthy food choices), numeracy (prices and weights) and the chance to consolidate the past tense.
A2 German - summary of the main points made in the video (link in resource) outlining the scientific / technological developments that could happen over the next 100 years.
