Text in French about the sinking of the Titanic, followed by comprehension questions in English, a 'find the phrase' exercise, a manipulation exercise, some French FAQs about the Titanic, a bit of internet research to find the answers to the FAQs, and a writing task.

This a stripped down version of the KS4 text I uploaded, which is called Untergang der Titanic. Hopefully this will be accessible for relative beginners. There is a stimulus text, a vocab list to aid comprehension, questions in English, a 'find the phrase' exercise, a manipulation exercise, some FAQs to comment on and research, and a writing task to wrap it up. I've put the rubrics in English and German. These can be edited one way or the other to suit your group.
Two sets of German materials relating to the Titanic. They are similar but are pitched at different levels. Each set contains a lead text with a vocab list, followed by comprehension questions in English. There is then a grammar point, a find the phrase exercise, a manipulation exercise. Pupils then study a list of German FAQs about the Titanic, select questions that interest them and research the answers. Finally they are invited to write a text of their own about the Titanic.
