Take-away homework templates

Not an original resource but highly effective. It’s in the style of a Tex-Mex menu.

Powerpoint templates for setting a bank of differentiated homework tasks.
Slide 1: 12 possible tasks can be set; 4 levels of difficulty. Ideal for a six-week module of work where a bank of extra home-based tasks can be set in advance.
Slide 2: 4 possible tasks can be set. The other boxes in the grid can be used for help & notes.So the whole slide becomes a home-learning help-mat.
Slide 3: a sample version of the 4-task menu and help-mat.It uses the topic of building descriptions in French.

The Powerpoint format is easier to customize than Word. Teachers can add their school logos etc.

The pickn’mix approach works really well with pupils.
They can use the menu to choose a set of homework activities over a period of time.
