This revised resource is based on the Edexcel German GCSE 9-1 Future Aspirations, Study and Work topic (foundation tier - 60 words). There are 4 folders, each containing a vocabulary list of 15 words, plus 4 sets of activities based on the list (multiple choice, matching, crosswords and wordsearches). There are 3 versions of the activities in each set, which makes them useful for test situations to prevent collaboration, or to provide extra practice for homework. Answer sheets are included.
There is enough material here for more than one lesson on myths and legends. An interactive PowerPoint shows the difference between myth and legend. The second slide has six flags of St George, which, when clicked, reveal a Raphael painting of St George and the dragon. At the end of the show, pupils are asked to read the accompanying comprehension text, decide whether St George and the Dragon is a myth or a legend, and to write their answer. The comprehension text is marked out of 20. A mark scheme is supplied.
Each of the five worksheets in this pack targets a specific problem children (and many adults) have in the use of spoken and written English. At the top of each worksheet, there is a brief explanation of the rules, and then there are 10 fill the gap sentences where pupils have to insert the correct word of a pair or a limited selection. Answer sheets are provided.
These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Number. Each of the five topics (multiples, lowest common multiple, factors, highest common factor, prime factors) is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet. There are 45 worksheets in all, plus answer sheets.
The material could be used in several ways:
* work through all the levels with the whole class
* use the levels to target varying abilities within the class
* use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework
* where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working
* extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit
Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet.
A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task.
Five worksheets targeting words that children often spell or use incorrectly. Some (there,their, they’re) are homophones . Others (who,whom) are used incorrectly because of grammatical difficulties. Good for KS2 and KS3.
This is one of a series of PowerPoint presentations designed to get students analysing and talking about the work of well-known artists, and then creating their own artwork inspired by the art they have studied. Each presentation should be sufficient for a project lasting several lessons. The presentations contain the following:
brief biographical text
links to online resources
questions to focus looking at artworks
activity based on an aspect of the artist’s work (not a copying exercise)
evaluation of project
Artists in this series: Camille Pissarro, Jean Cocteau, Amedeo Modigliani, James McNeill Whistler, Marc Chagall, Gustav Klimt, David Hockney,
NB Copyright restrictions have made it necessary to rely on online material for images of artists’ work. If links cease to work, please contact me and I will do my best to put things right!
Upper KS2 or older pupils will enjoy this song covering a range of holiday vocabulary: packing bags, going to the swimming pool, restaurant and café. MP3 file and sheet music with lyrics included.
This collection contains sufficient material on multiples and factors to cover several lessons. The material is designed to equip beginners with the skills necessary to work with fractions.
The presentation begins with an introductory slide showing how both multiples and factors are related to multiplication tables. It is then divided into two sections so that the teaching of multiples and factors can be treated separately if desired. Slides are advanced manually, but most are animated with conceal/reveal effects designed to encourage class participation in the lesson. Practice slides are included after each section so that learners can work in a supported way with partners or small groups before tackling fully independent work. Pupil handouts are included (a choice of black and white or colour). They have had answers removed so that they can be used as additional practice material. Learners will find them valuable as reference material when working independently in class or at home.
The 35 worksheets are graded according to difficulty and organised into sets of five. There are three sets on multiples and four on factors. For the teacher’s reference, each worksheet has a footer showing the range of numbers used in each set. They should provide sufficient work not only for use during lessons, but also for follow-up tasks at home and for revision purposes. Answer sheets are provided.
An animated 8-slide presentation guides students through present, past and future versions of active and passive voices of verbs. Simple pictures of a rabbit and a carrot show how word order in a sentence can be changed when a passive verb is used, The term ‘agent’ is introduced.
There are two versions of the presentation. The teacher-controlled version has a click button between each slide to enable the teacher to pace the lesson according to the needs of the class. The fully automated version is designed to run independently, either at the front of the class, or as an independent literacy-centre or home-learning resource.
The classroom poster takes things a bit further, by including versions of tenses not covered in the presentation. This is a resource designed for extension work for more able students.
Two worksheets provide follow-up practice. Answer sheets are included.
This is a fully resourced one hour lesson on subject and object pronouns. There is a full lesson plan indicating how the lesson could be structured.
For the starter activity, there is a screen display of a nonsense poem containing pronouns.
The main teaching input is via a 7 slide presentation covering the form of subject and object pronouns, their position in relation to the verb, and how to avoid common mistakes. It ends with a short practice exercise to be done in pairs or small groups. Most slides contain teacher-controlled slow-reveal animation in order to keep the class involved throughout.
The independent exercise which follows contains 15 sentences in which I/me has to be inserted correctly into gaps.
During the plenary, pupils work together on a printed version of the poem seen in the starter. This could be finished as a homework task.
50 sheets of LOA (Learning Objective Achieved) statements for printing onto Avery style stickers (L7651). There is also a Y5 pupil sticker chart for printing out double sided onto card. 65 stickers per sheet.
Each of the 50 sheets matches a Y5 Number objective, and they are organised in the folder in the same order as they appear in the NC programme of study for year 5.
50 templates of LOA (Learning Objective Achieved) statements for printing onto Avery style stickers (L7651). There is also a Y4 pupil sticker chart for printing out double sided onto card. 65 stickers per sheet.
Each of the 50 sheets matches a Y4 Number objective, and they are organised in the folder in the same order as they appear in the NC programme of study for year 4.
A ten slide presentation shows the rules for the pronunciation of final consonants in French.
It covers
silent endings - single consonants
silent endings - consonant clusters (e.g. est)
C,R,F,L (the CaReFuL) consonants
Liaisons before vowels
There are two follow-up multiple choice worksheets, where pupils have to identify the odd one out of a group of four words. Answers are provided.
I have also included sound files which could be useful for non-specialist teachers or for pupils working independently.
This resource provides sufficient material for a complete lesson on equivalent fractions, and enough worksheets for classwork, homework and revision purposes.
It consists of a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation, 5 graded sets of worksheets, and a two-page help document to support learners/parents/support staff in the independent/homework tasks.
The presentation has teacher-controlled animation to facilitate step-by-step working through of the method. After two slides dealing with key vocabulary, there are 5 showing how to use multiplication to find a second missing numerator, and a further 5 showing how to use division to find the first numerator. The intention is that during the whole-class lesson, the method will become embedded in learners’ memories as they work through a series of problems with the teacher, using the same ‘script’ for each. At the end of the presentation, there is a set of calculations for pupils to work on in pairs/small groups, before moving on to independent work. Answers are supplied.
The step-by-step help sheets have a similar function to the presentation. The first shows how multiplication is used to solve equivalent fractions problems. The second deals with the division method.
The 25 worksheets (sets of 5 with accompanying answer sheets) are arranged in folders, which are numbered in order of difficulty. Since the objective is to teach a method, rather than supply calculation practice, a secure knowledge of multiplication tables is not a prerequisite of success at this level. The easiest folder requires only that pupils know the 10 times table. The other folders also have denominators of 2 and 5.
The quiz about Wales is linked to an interactive flipboard activity where a picture of the Welsh dragon is gradually revealed as pupils answer questions and flip the corresponding tile if they get a correct answer. A suggestion for using it at a whole class activity is given in the teacher notes.
A text about St David and associated worksheet focusses on what we can be sure of when studying history . The task consists of judging pieces of information from the text and sorting them into columns according to whether pupils think they are historical fact or legend.
Also included in the pack is a wordsearch.
For KS2 and KS3. Score, lyrics and MP3 file, plus a sentence scaffolding sheet where pupils make sentences for ordering food of various flavours using à la, au etc.
Two sets of 5 worksheets (with answers) for helping pupils to memorise the verbs which are conjugated with être in compound tenses. One is a set of crosswords, and the other is a set of wordsearches.
Also included is an MP4 version of an animated presentation.
Here you have a 17-slide presentation for teaching transitive and intransitive words. The first few slides explain how to spot whether a verb is transitive or intransitive by identifying the subject, verb and object of a sentence. The rest of the slides use teacher-controlled conceal/reveal animation for whole class practice in identifying transitive/intransitive verbs.
For independent work, there is a worksheet where the task is to say whether the verbs in 8 sentences are transitive (v.t.) or intransitive (v.i.). There are three versions of the worksheet, which could be used together in class in order to prevent copying. Or they could be split and given as a follow-up homework or revision task.
PDF Presentation about complex sentences (with both relative and subordinate clauses). Includes a list of subordinating conjunctions and examples of both types of complex sentence. An accompanying worksheet consists of 15 complex sentences where the task is to underline the main clause. A more difficult extension activity (identifying the verbs) is included for more able pupils.
