Toolkit to help Foundation Level students say what they wear, have to wear, would rather wear, like, dislike, despise etc and get the adjectival endings right.

Four short Foundation Level texts in which young Germans talk about their plans or lack of plans for work experience. Texts are followed by comprehension exercises in German, a 'Find the phrase' activity, a manipulation exercise, and a writing task supported by a toolkit

Playscript. An unlikely dialogue in which Belletrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and Bella from Twighlight discuss their differing approaches to health and fitness. A disagreement ensues about Voldemort's nose. Having practised and performed the playscript, students could (i) devise a dialogue in which two different fictional characters discuss the issue of health and fitness or (ii) devise a dialogue in which Bella and Belletrix take on a different GCSE topic.

The simplified taxonomies can be used to show to students and observers (i) how certain activities demand greater engagement on the part of the learner and (ii) the progression in your lesson in terms of pupils' thinking. Created in collaboration with Rachel Roberts and the MFL team at Gordano.

A vocab matching exercise followed by a simple toolkit to help students express opinions about school subjects in French, followed by a writing task with vocab support.

Interactive drag and drop practice of French modal verbs for PC or IW.

Each slide of the powerpoint practises a different German sound / spelling pattern. Slide 1 acts as a homepage for the activity. Students pick an image. When you click on it, it hyperlinks to a phoneme for the class to practise. (This is similar to the one I made for beginners, but the vocab is appropriate to KS4.)

Potted history of Germany in ten dates. In this interactive exercise students must match the events to the dates. Will work on PC or IW.

Ten TRUE/FALSE questions in German about Rio 2016. If the" TRUE/FALSE" rubric is red the answer is "false". If it's green the answer is "true". Slide one acts as a homepage. Students choose a number and are hyperlinked to a question.

Sentence patterns to help students say what they will do on holiday next year and why.

Questions to stimulate discussion about possible work experience or future careers. Pupils must in each case choose between two alternatives and justify their choice. Two daft alternatives to warm up with, followed by a sequence of serious alternatives

Four short texts in which various movie characters describe where they live and where they have lived. Text is followed by richtig / falsch / nicht im Text questions in German.

Playscript in which Shrek and Mr Incredible compare their physique and argue about who has the nicer wife. Practice of adjectives and comparatives for relative beginners.

Dialogue in which the Daleks and the Doctor discuss some of their recent journeys using their best GCSE German verbs of travel in the past tense. Ends with a very cheesy joke.

PPT for presentation to pupils approaching exams. Based substantially on an article, summarising extensive research conducted by Dr Tom Stafford of Sheffield University. PPT deals with (i) organisation vs cramming (ii) the value of learning from failure (iii) the need to practise (iv) processing information aids memory and (v) rest and sleep. I've added some links to helpful websites.

Playscript with lots of practice of 'Ich esse gern ... ', plus a device to encourage students to pronounce 'Marmelade' correctly.

Exemplification and practice of subordinate clauses in German, with a vague Simpsons theme.

Authentic screenshots and mini-texts on the topic of TOWN, with questions in English. Created for a lower ability group but works well as a starter for more able classes.

Text about eco-friendly, fairtrade sneakers with questions in German and a discussion question to follow.

Interactive drag-and-drop activity for a bit of random vocab revision in German. 35 words are embedded but the activity will select 10 words at random to practise each time it is opened. It will also arrange the vocab in random order. With any luck it will never be the same twice.
