French GCSE Listening Practice Questions.
cgazzalcgazzal

French GCSE Listening Practice Questions.

(0)
This is a series of listening questions/ exercises modelled on past listening exams from AQA, but not using the same material. It covers foundation and higher, as well as the crossover questions. It focuses on the techniques that AQA relies on for asking questions and therefore gets students to practise the type of questioning they will face in the exam; this is often different from practice exercises found in textbooks. These listening exercises include recognition of tenses in both the materials and the questions, assimilation of concepts through vocabulary etc. This also uses the high frequency vocabulary that AQA relies on for more generic matters such as idioms for opinions and so on. There is a PowerPoint, which can be used on its own as it has the questions on slides, followed by the answers and then the transcript for each exercise. Alternatively, students can use the exam sheet that is included, and the listening exercises can be played from the PowerPoint, but students do not then need to see the PP.

German KS2 & KS3 - Creating Funny Families. (Self & Family)

(0)
This can be easily adapted for home learning. This set of resources is an excellent way to finish work on self and family. It will take at least 4 lessons. There is a build up to the main activity when pupils work in groups and create their own funny families, which they present to the rest of the class. I have used this over many years with many groups and have refined it. I can honestly say pupils love doing it. Everything is presented in a step-by-step format and could be used by a non-specialist or cover teacher. There are two Power Points and range of worksheets. The first PowerPoint is to re-cap work on self and family and will be a lead into the main activity. In this first PowerPoint three members of the same family present information about themselves – the first very simply, the next has more information and the third is a longer text. For the first two family members there are differentiated exercises – very simple with circling the correct answer or true and false to open ended questions. You can choose to use different tasks for different ability groups within the class or it can all be used for the whole class. The second PowerPoint introduces the group activity in a step-by-step way. Pupils will work in groups to create a funny family, but each person in the group will be responsible for one family member so ultimately each pupil will be producing their own piece of work. There are several help sheets for pupils of all abilities and there are answers for all exercises included. Finally the pupils will present their families in groups to the rest of the class. They can be assessed on the written work produced and/or the oral presentation.
