Great resources for independent work ! I have designed these resources after visiting the amazing website : . The zip file comprises about 30 helps mats, in both French and Spanish, covering different grammatical points (past, future, conditional tenses; giving and justifying opinions, using intensifiers, adding more complex language, etc.) Also, you will find 2 worksheets on KS3 and KS4 DIRT strengths and targets (presented as codes to write on students’ book). During DIRT, students improve their work by using the corresponding help mats, each colour-coded to the target they belong to. Print and laminate the help mats and have them available in your classroom. All resources are editable. Please share in a comment below if it was effective during your lesson :)
