Cut & Paste Great Art: SHAKESPEARE

(0)
Here are six pieces of beautiful art from Shakespearean England. Each has been prepared for use as a paper ‘cut and paste’ puzzle. There are a simpler 6-piece puzzle and a more difficult 10-piece puzzle for each work of art. Cut and Paste puzzles are a proven and effective way to improve younger students’ fine motor skills, as well as their ability to solve visual problems. Older students may also complete this type of activity, with a dual purpose, integrating hands-on learning into a study of medieval England or Shakespeare, or as a ‘change of pace’ from intellectual activities. The selection of great art in this collection will encourage young people to admire and appreciate beautiful works, developing their artistic taste and greater cultural knowledge. Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful colours and images of a time and place gone by! Bonus: Includes a page of questions that can be used to investigate the who-what-when-where-why-how of any one of the paintings.

Intermediate French: 78 Days of Sentence Writing

Intermediate French: 78 Days of Sentence Writing

(0)
Here are 78 days of guided French writing practise for intermediate students. For each day, the student is given eight words. The student is also given a sentence ‘type’, for example, ‘a simple sentence in the present tense’ or ‘a sentence containing the word donc’. A brief grammatical explanation (when necessary) and one or more examples follow. The ‘type’ of sentence remains the same for three days in a row. Continue to practise writing that ‘type‘ of sentence, using the new list of words for each day. Students may begin at the beginning and complete the exercises in consecutive order, or teachers may choose a ‘style’ and assign it. Teachers may, of course, add additional parameters to each assignment (such as ‘donc’, using the imparfait). These short assignments allow students with a good foundation knowledge of French to make diligent, regular efforts to write. By following the guidelines, students will practise writing within specific boundaries of style and vocabulary, helping to avoid boredom and repetition in their composition. It only takes one day to begin, and before long, you will have completed an incredible 78 days of writing French sentences!
Beginner's German with Schubert the Dog

Beginner's German with Schubert the Dog

(0)
Schubert is a small brown dog. He is very intelligent, but he often makes mistakes! This story and workbook will introduce the young student to 150 German words and phrases, in ten short chapters. The text is in English, with German words embedded and translated, giving each one a context and entertaining you as you go! Following each chapter there are: · A vocabulary list, without articles (to avoid declension complications). · An exercise to practise adding ‘the’ and ‘a’ to the nouns, to learn which nouns are masculine, feminine and neutral (all in the Nominativ case). · A short ‘Notice’, a quick bit of information about the German language (such as ‘all German nouns begin with capital letters’) with a question included (such as ‘how many nouns are there in this chapter?’) · A ‘Fill in the Blanks’ page specific to that chapter, for review or a quiz. · A special page focussing on words linked by theme, loosely associated with the chapter, such as Haus or Farben. Some vocabulary from the extra page may appear before or after its assigned chapter, or nowhere else at all. There are also four pages to introduce the concept of gendered nouns, and a very short introduction to the composer Franz Schubert (with a link to some of his music)
