Different shapes for card sorts (triangle, etc.) Fill in the vocab so that the English matches the target language when laid in a triangle like this. There is an example of this in the PPT.

Writing wheel template

The writing wheel is designed as a support for pupils' writing, especially in a foreign language, which is one of the most difficult skills. Add different elements of a paragraph into each circle, starting from the centre and working your way out. Then print out one or both slides (depending on how much you want pupils to write) as support for pupils’ writing.

This is a visual prompt for the popular activity of vocab tennis. It's simply a tennis ball being hit from side to side on a timer, so each pupil gets time to say something.

My students stick this into the front cover of their exercise books and use it to record summative assessment results each half-term, giving them an overview of their progress over the year. It’s in the shape of an arrow and, at the end of the arrow, they write their target grade/level. When they record their assessment results, they also have to write a few words to say what they will do to try to improve their result for the next assessment.

Give each student one set of these cards to use throughout lessons. As they go through the lesson, they display one of them on their desks for you to see as you walk around. This way, you can see who needs help, etc. Print the ‘I don’t get it at all’ on red. Print the ‘I think I get it’ on yellow. Print the ‘I get it’ on green.

An idea from Rachel Hawkes – thank you, as always! Give the pupils phrases in TL or in English. They mill around the room, testing random pupils in the class. If the pupils they ask get the answer right, they write their name in one of the boxes underneath the phrase.
