Interactive drag and drop exercise, practising French Easter vocabulary. The file will present a different selection of ten items each time it is opened and will shuffle the order of the items each time too. Will work on PC or IW.
Complete GCSE vocab list in German and English. I replaced the usual prosaic topic and sub-topic titles with song and film titles, song lyrics and some obscure quotations in a desperate attempt to make some of my revision-shy pupils look through it.
This ppt is for an activity I conducted with our soon-to-be year 7s on their transistion visit. It's a facilitated activity that encourages the pupils to (i) share their perceptions of the benefits of learning a language (ii) think about how learning a language will devlop their generic thinking and learning abilities (iii) reflect on how an MFL lesson, which they have just had, has fostered generic thinking and learning skills. It could be used with Year 7s at the start of their MFL career.
Interactive drag and drop exercise. There are 100 different football words and phrases programmed into the game. The program will select ten items at random and shuffle the order of the items each time the game is opened. With luck, it will just about never be the same game twice. Will work on IW or PC.
Powerpoint story in which Bella from the 'Twighlight' series describes a typical day. The text appears slowly, giving students time to read and work out the meanings. As a follow up you could ask the class for ideas, such as likes and dislikes, to augment the text on each slide and make the story their own.
Reading comprehension activity. I have jumbled up an account of the plot of Mr Bean's holiday. Students have to read the eight mini-texts and put them in the correct order. Helpful, but not absolutely essential, to have seen the film. I have provided a solution and the original text. As a follow-up students could put the text into the first person or into the past tense or both.
Powepoint for practising jobs and careers. Pupils are shown a severely cropped image os someone at work, from which they have to identify the job. A click reveals the full image and another click reveals the German word. (This is an expanded version of something I uploaded previously.)
A number of short excerpts from reviews of the the film. Students must identify the references to the themes in each review. This is followed by a Diamond Nine card sort in which students must discuss the themes and agree which are more important and which are less important.
Higher Level text about changes pupils would introduce to their school experience if they were in charge. Text is followed by a ' find the phrase' exercise focusing on the Conditional, a table showing the formation of the Condtional, a manipulation exercise, and a writing task.
PS Typo in the rubric for Ex C spotted and now fixed.
A number of short texts based on an internet discussion about how best to celebrate a birthday. The texts are followed with comprehension questions, 'find the phrase' activities, manipulation activities, mini grammar points, and culminate in a writing activity.
This is a re-vamped version of a text I have uploaded elsewhere. It now has additional exercises. The text has been simplified slightly and is now followed by (i) a comprehension activity (ii) a find the phrase exercise (iii) grammar practice of TMP (iv) a manipulation exercise (v) a translation exercise (vi) a speaking activity and (vii) an essay
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.
