Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in Hebrew!' pack.
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Hebrew. The students could write about a topic in Hebrew before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.

Welcome to the 'Let’s Talk in Scottish Gaelic!' pack.
This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
There are lots of different ways you could use this pack. You could laminate them into two cards and get each student to talk about what they had seen in their picture.

I love to get the students really talking about an issue. I saw another teacher do it and thought that this looks really effective.
My Walk to School Week teaching resources are designed to get the students to think about why we should walk to school, what are the alternatives and the benefits and the costs of walking to school using different modes of transport. They are also designed to get students really talking, listening and expressing their own ideas.
My teaching resources could be printed out and made into an eye catching, thought provoking display or used as a whole class discussion stimulus.
I am now making a new series of resources like this, so that teachers and students can get a lot more out of every lesson.
