Three activities relating to jobs and professions, pitched at Foundation Level students. 1 Students match jobs to short clues about those jobs. 2 Students identify key chunks of language from the first eexrcise. 3 Students usea toolkit to generate short descriptions of other jobs.
24 questions about DLdA. Used for revision with Year 13. Students choose a letter from A to W on th homeslide and are hyperlinked to a question about the film.
9 photos from National Geographic for exploitation as stimuli for spontaneous TALK. The first slide acts as a homepage for the other 9 slides. Students pick a number on the homepage and are hyperlinked to an image. They could be invited to (i) describe what they see / don't see (ii) speculate about the lives of the people / animals in the image (iii) suggest what will happen next / what has just happened etc etc.
Sequence of questions relating to Van Gogh's painting of his bedroom. Practice of colour, prepositions, and bedroom objects. For the first set of questions, students can see the painting. For the second set they have to do it from memory. Finally they should compare their own room with Van Gogh's room. Plenty of scope for practice of &'kein&'; as they identify everything that Van Gogh does not have in his room that they have in their room.
Short texts in which teenagers describe the situations in which they get in to trouble. The grammatical focus is on Wenn-Sätze. Pupils also have to indentify and record a number of Wenn-Sätze from the text and generate new Wenn-Sätze using a toolkit.
Interactive PPT activity practising sentence structures for describing personality and character. Slide 1 acts as a homepage for the other slides and contains hyperlinks to images of fictional characters. Students must in each case construct a sentence, using the on-slide sentence pattern as a scaffold. Different sentence patterns are practised.
Four teenage blogs about daily / routine & the length of the school day, followed by a reminder about seperable verbs, True/False questions in English, two 'find the phrase&' activities, a partner activity, and some written work ... PS typos fixed!
This resource features an edited-down review of the film, followed by a 'Find the phrase&' exercise and a manipulation exercise. Together they are designed to help students create the kind of language they will need to describe themes in the film.
Authentic screenshots and mini-texts on the topic of TOWN, with questions in English. Created for a lower ability group but works well as a starter for more able classes.
A Powerpoint which (i) step by step builds up a grammatical table to demonstrate the adjectival endings needed when desribing places in a town and (ii) presents pairs of real and fictitious characters which form the basis for paired speaking activities.
Three short texts about what teenagers use the internet for, followed by questions in English, a 'find the phrase' activity, a minor Grammar point, a manipulation exercise, a 'find the tense' exercise, and a writing task.
Revision of the future tense, followed by predictions about the European Championships for pupils to agree or disagree with, using the future tense. (This is an updated version, in which I've substituted players who I thought would be playing for ones who actually are!)
The Powerpoint contains a set of questions which form a scaffold for pair work. There is a stop watch on every slide to encourage the students to try to improvise a one-minute answer to each question.
