I designed this to keep my year seven low ability group busy for those last few lessons of term when then switch off. It’s based on stimmt 1 and can be adapted for other years / abilities.
This is a great way to get KS4 classes to talk in German (and can be adapted for KS3). You start and stop the sequence by pressing 's&' and the pupils love shouting &';stop!' to choose their question to answer.
My year 11s were panicking about revising for the writing and speaking. Therefore, I condensed all that they needed onto one mat! Hope this helps you with the upcoming GCSEs.
I spent a lot of time creating this resource, only for COVID-19 to happen and for my school to change exam boards!
Hopefully you can make use of it, it’s designed for foundation GCSE German for Edexcel.
Practice lesson for a mixed ability Y11 GCSE class, the lesson before their mock written exams. Hope this is of help as there often isn’t much out there for German.
Wanted my year 8s to prepare for a photo card task based on festivals (Stimmt 2 chapter 4) in class. Created this for them. Teach a mixed ability class so made it easy enough for all to access but with a challenge element at the end for the more able. Hope you can make use of it!
This is a resource I created before my school switched to a different exam board. This is tailored for Edexcel and linked to the Pearson GCSE German book. I hope this is useful.
I wanted to overhaul the way I was teaching vocabulary to a more skills based format, rather than recalling single words.
I also wanted to embed some future exam skills into this process as well. With the help of some very helpful TES members on the forum, I have created these and wanted to share. Easily adapted as all these are formatted to link into Stimmt 1.
Hopefully you will find these useful! More to come…
An activity where lower ability pupils can write in the time for future reference (I got fed up of them not being able to use an analogue clock!).
I have also added an even easier gap fill one where you want the pupils to have a record of telling the time in their books but don't have much time to get them to copy it down. Good for lower ability groups.
Adapted from another resource on TES. Am going to provide page numbers on the cover sheet from Stimmt/ Dynamo to help students. Reckon it will last 2 lessons, whilst I am on a week long school trip. Hope this helps anyone in the same position!
A text describing the main reasons for youth crime. I find the texts in some of the text books a little dry and I found this adapted text from the internet a bit clearer to lead into a wider discussion.
My Y11s are starting to flag, so one suggested creating posters with key phrases for the exam. I have adapted this so that each group gets a topic and has to recall recyclable phrases for their allocated topic. They they go round and swap ideas with other groups. A little more fun and varied as they had completed so many past papers! Adaptable for other languages, hope this helps in the run up to the written GCSE MFL exams.
A German logic puzzle with answer. My year tens enjoyed doing this at the end of a lesson.
My native speaker colleague was keen to point out that clocks don't have hands in German but that they are called 'Zeiger'!
A listening exercise based on the first 3 mins of the youtube video. A good intro to Zeitgeist 1 p52 perhaps? Could be used as a stand alone listening exercise.
