Interactive drag-and-drop IW activity for practising jobs and professions. The activity has 50 jobs embedded, but will select at random 10 jobs to practise each time it is opened. With any luck it will never be the same activity twice!
Speaking stimulus for the topic of Handys / Internet. The first slide acts as a homepage for the activity. Students select an image from the homepage and are then hyperlinked to a slide with a stimulus question. 24 questions in total.
Back to the future. (i) A table setting out the Past, Present and Future forms of the 20 most frequently used German verbs. (ii) two translation exercises working on each of the 20 verbs in turn.

Text based on internet threads about the idea of introducing school uniform in Germany. Text is followed by comprehension questions in English, a 'find the phrases' exercise and a text manipulation exercise. Hopefully, this will provide pupils with some useful language for commenting on school uniform in their own school,
