I have previously uploaded resources for the topic of Holidays which I used with low/mid ability Y8 groups. These can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-8-les-vacances-expo-2-module-5-updated-11067410 This year I find myself teaching top set Y8 and have had to rethink my approach. Here are my new resources (still in progress - will upload as I go - 6 weeks so far). The infinitives loop resource is not mine, but works really well here. Start the powerpoint, then get a pupil to cover their eyes and say "stop". You press "s" and everyone has to write a sentence using the verb it lands on (correctly conjugated in the perfect tense, of course). I have also been trying a new approach with homework, attempting to use flipped learning so that pupils arrive with the key basic knowledge they need so we can hit the ground running in the lesson. The following things have been researched at home, which is why they are not presented in the lessons: -vocab for transport -perfect tense of regular verbs -all Mrs Vandertramp verbs -vocab for accommodation

Vocab sheet to use with this video from VideoEle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etd0-GwJJ0Y Pupils see how many items they can identify from the video - challenge to find as many as possible, rather than expectation to get them all.
