Double sided a4 sheet
Side 1 - the 3 time frames (Past, Present, Future) with regular verb endings for each tense within that category plus common irregulars, Time expressions which trigger that category, HL phrases and idioms)
Side 2 - Opinion phrases, connectives, sequencing connectives, higher level structures for the grade 7+, Idiomatic expressions for the grade 7+
I’ve used this sheet year after year and it always enables students to access the 5+ and the top levels as it’s clear which tenses are in each time frame. The time expression triggers provide a good visual for students, too.
This guide will talk you through the expectations of the course, and break down the key skills needed to achieve the a*
it shows you how to structure your answers to achieve the top mark scheme answers, as well as a task on how to revise cifras.
There is also an exemplar mind map (double sided a3) to show students.

**All resources compliment / consolidate content from Module 1. There are no duplicated tasks from the textbook or workbook. **
Each worksheet has clear instructions with examples for every task. Each worksheet is extensively differentiated. Tasks take 20-30 minutes (in line with ks3 homework requirements) with lots of optional extra tasks for higher end vert students.
Activities are inductive but aptly supported. Each worksheet will incorporate different “challenge” tasks which increase in cognitive demand, this could be creation tasks, the manipulation of verbs or sentences, etc.

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)
