KS3 GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS 108 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS @ £2.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE The resource is non-editable in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. The questions have a multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in German. Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to apply language in a practical, real-world context, which in turn helps embed both vocab and grammatical concepts into longer-term memory. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on the target vocab, but also to work on German language skills in general, such as cases, adjectival endings, grammatical structures such as um… zu + infinitive and so on. The questions are all in German, and range in complexity and challenge. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. There are 35 fruits and 37 vegetables addressed in the challenge cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. There are alphabetical German-English and English-German fruits and vegetables lists withmasculine and feminine fruits, definite and indefinite article, and singular and plural. This really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are several***translation questions*** , both from German to English and English to German, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning. The question card template enables students to apply theirknowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own, and to include fruits and vegetables that are not already in the vocabulary lists. Each set comprises: = 36 question cards*, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper = answer key & recording sheet = alphabetical fruits & vegetables lists, German-English & English-German Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.

KS3 GCSE FRENCH PRESENT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE FIVE WORKBOOKS @ £1 EACH 150 conjugations in each workbook, 750 conjugations in total, differentiated challenges, answer keys & verb reference lists ideal for KS3 French students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in French. The verbs groups are: regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs reflexive verbs I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for homework, for practice, reinforcing and revision during holidays and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programs, so that students can apply language practically and creatively, which is essential for progressing in language learning, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how French conjugation ‘works’. The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the French present tense, I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the singular pronouns, including the pronoun on form being identical, pointing out also that on is commonly used in spoken and written French, also meaning we, unlike the English pronoun one. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are currently learning. For example, with students whose whose first language is English, I frequently see attempts such as je suis mettre for I am putting or similarly je fais répondre for I do answer. I also refer frequently the difference in usage between English and French, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of French conjugation works, reflect on what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. They also use this page to note any new verbs they learn, which helps them build up a comprehensive verb vocabulary. It’s also a useful tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity with my students. answer key which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others’ - work, and they’re a great teacher time saver too, which is always a good thing!

GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN KS3 GERMAN ALEVEL GERMAN VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 8 workbooks & tenses @ 60p each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency German verbs in the present, perfect, imperfect, future, conditional, pluperfect, future perfect and conditional perfect tenses, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 1,200 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists ideal for***KS3 German*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in German; KS4 German students who have a sound baseline understanding of conjugation and tense in German, are working regularly with the notion of past tense in German, and distinguishing between verbs that are conjugated with either haben or sein in the perfect and pluperfect tense to KS5 German and advanced German students who have a sound understanding of conjugation and tense in German, are working regularly with the notion of a range of tenses and mood in German, and have a solid grasp of verbs that are conjugated with either haben or sein in the relevant tenses. It’s actually really useful to introduce the pluperfect tense in German quite closely with the perfect tense, as the patterns are identical, and it allows students to compare and contrast the tenses, and to practise both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they’re learning and using them together. Similarly, I do tend to introduce the perfect tense and imperfect tense together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with English for example, particularly in spoken German. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their German conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct German, in both oral and written form. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with the patterns and rules of the language they are learning. For example, with the German imperfect tense, with students whose first language is English, I frequently see attempts such as ich war machen for I was doing / making or similarly ich machte arbeiten for I did work. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of ***used to…***, before they understand that the notion is implicit in the tense itself. I refer frequently the difference in usage between English and German, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the various tenses. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written German is accurate, and that their understanding of German across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I’ve used these ‘quick conjugations’ for many years with my German classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in German. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how German conjugation ‘works’. The tenses are: present tense (Präsens) perfect tense (Perfekt) imperfect tense (Präteritum) future tense (Futur I) conditional tense (Konjuktiv II, Futur I) pluperfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) future perfect tense (Konjuktiv I, Futur II) conditional perfect tense (Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt) Each set has the following structure: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: German-English and English-German. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank. We also use this to guide our whole-group discussions about conjugation and German grammar, and learning and progress in general - this is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: there are 6 pages in the answer key book - for me, answer keys are an essential and integral part of learning with these kinds of workbooks - they give my students an additional opportunity to engage with language, they certainly help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ their own, and especially each other’s work. Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses: present tense (Präsens) perfect tense (Perfekt) imperfect tense (Präteritum) future tense (Futur I) conditional tense (Konjuktiv II, Futur I) pluperfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) future perfect tense (Konjuktiv I, Futur II) conditional perfect tense (Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt) Have a browse in my store for more German grammar activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I’ve included a selection here for you to try.
