Two sets of German materials relating to the Titanic. They are similar but are pitched at different levels. Each set contains a lead text with a vocab list, followed by comprehension questions in English. There is then a grammar point, a find the phrase exercise, a manipulation exercise. Pupils then study a list of German FAQs about the Titanic, select questions that interest them and research the answers. Finally they are invited to write a text of their own about the Titanic.
Dialogue for students to act out, in which Dracula repeatedly oversleeps and has to ask Igor what time it is. Perform it to them with the FLA or act out both parts yourself. The hammier the better. Then ask them to practise the dialogue. They can then use the additional lexis at the bottom of the sheet to expand the dialogue, either as an oral improvisation or as a written task.
Mutliple choice exercise practising the present tense of the verb haben. On completion you will have a dialogue set in Middle Earth. May be suited to Friday afternoons.
Open-ended starter. Pupils have to suggest what the people or the animals in the images are thinking. Lots of possible correct answers for each picture. If you want you could set parameters eg 'Utilisez le futur proche.'
Playscript for beginners. The script practises basic personal ID language BUT with a handful of high-frequency constructions in the Perfect tense thrown in. If you have an alien mask and / or a bee costume, you can play all the parts yourself to the bemusement of your pupils. Pupils should practise the script in threes, then write an extension to the story. Vocab list of more improbable characters supplied.
Fairly challenging text about the history of one of the oldest olympic disciplines. The gaps are all verbs in a variety of tenses. Will work on PC or IW.
Two authentic texts in which Germans from the former DDR comment on differences between the DDR and the Bundesrepublik. The texts are followed by a comprehension exercise and an essay title.
Text in which Katy Perry and Kevin Petersen are interviewed and then commented on by Wallace and Gromit. Text is followed by True / False exercise in German, a 'find the phrase' text, and a manipulation exercise. Lots of practice of likes and dislikes.
9 images and short speculative texts relating to travel in the future, which act as a springboard for class discussion. Used it with my Year 12s. The first slide acts as a homepage for the activity. Students pick a number and are hyperlinked to a slide.
