Booklet with accompanying powerpoints for use in the last term of Y9 German or as part of GCSE course (approximately 12-15 lessons). The lessons cover the topics environment, house & home and traditions. Grammar covered includes infinitive clauses, cases, adjective endings, comparisons and the future and conditional tenses. There is also a lesson looking at formal and informal language. The lesson series is based on the short animated video series called Lifeswap that was created for the Goethe Institut Neuseeland. Each episode looks at various cultural differences and challenges in a new country - the videos are really funny and engaging for students so I wanted to create a SoW to accompany them. My lessons focus on German culture and customs while also covering key vocabulary and grammar for the GCSE course. I use the booklet over around 6 weeks with Year 9 and follow this with a project, where students create their own video comparing two cultures/languages. I find this motivates and is useful for students who have chosen German and keeps students dropping the subject engaged. Course outline: Episode 1 (approx. 3 lessons) Topic: Umwelt und Recycling Grammar: Infinitive clauses Episode 2 (approx. 2 lessons) Topic: Mein Zuhause / Zimmer Grammar: Cases Episode 3 (approx. 3 lessons) Topic: Mein Zuhause / Zimmer / Möbel Grammar: Cases Episode 4 (approx 2 lessons) Topic: Traditionen / Feste Grammar: Future tense Episode 6 (approx. 1 lesson) Topic: Formal and colloquial language Grammar: present tense verb conjugations Episode 7 (approx. 1 lesson) Topic: Cultural differences Grammar: Comparisons Episode 8 (approx. 2 lessons) Topic: A typical Sunday in Germany Grammar: Comparisons and conditional tense

This is the first lesson of a series I created to accompany the entertaining Lifeswap videos created by the Goethe Institut. The first lesson is about environment and covers the “um… zu…” grammar point as well as infinitive clauses. I use the lesson series at the end of Y9 but it could also be used during the GCSE course. The rest of the lesson series (covering a half-term approximately) can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12528930 Please leave a review if you download the lesson!

A ppt I use to discuss Hüseyin, 2 exam questions and an introduction to thinking about music in the film. The ppt will most likely need to be adapted to use as I use it to support more open class discussions - it should hopefully give you some ideas if you’re new to teaching the film.
