Developed for an observation
this lesson breaks down reflexive verbs making them more accessible.
I have used this with HA Year 9 all the way up to GCSE and it always works well. I have even upped the challenge and used the same activities with my year 12 class.
Lots of opportunities to better understanding of the difference between reflexive and standard indicative verbs with lots of practice, challenge and engagement.
Full lesson working on the full paradigm for SOLER to support the green foundation edexcel textbooks
enabling LA or mixed classes to access the higher levels using formulas.
Very accessible and has worked well with a range of abilities.
Specifically developed to address the 2 things which year after year stop students from accessing the 5+
I’ve used these worksheets as a starter with HA classes and adapted them to full lessons for LA and mixed groups.
Double sided a4 sheet
Side 1 - the 3 time frames (Past, Present, Future) with regular verb endings for each tense within that category plus common irregulars, Time expressions which trigger that category, HL phrases and idioms)
Side 2 - Opinion phrases, connectives, sequencing connectives, higher level structures for the grade 7+, Idiomatic expressions for the grade 7+
I’ve used this sheet year after year and it always enables students to access the 5+ and the top levels as it’s clear which tenses are in each time frame. The time expression triggers provide a good visual for students, too.
Generic grammar and vocabulary based tasks for extension challenge work
I have laminated them and cut them out, put the gcse ones on different coloured paper to give 2 levels of challenge work and it’s worked very well.
Lots of vocabulary/ dictionary skills/ grammar activities
Included:
WOW wall (for good work/ live learning)
seasons
weather
numbers 1- 1 billion
phonics bunting (very popular with students - probably the best display I’ve ever made)

French connectives
Made using screenshots from AQA exemplar matierial
activities adapted to provide variety
PPT follows sections of the exam, breaking them down and emphasising what students need to do to get top marks.
HUNDREDS OF ACTIVITIES TO COVER ALL 12 TOPICS IN GREAT DETAIL -
I’ve attached some screenshots to give you an idea of the range of activities. Lots of differentiated reading/listening/writing/grammar tasks.
I have covered as much vocabulary as possible (including the majority of the vocab lists in the textbook) and all key grammar points including MA grammar such as subjunctive/ personal a.
Theme 1 (ks3 revision/ family/ relationships/ free time/ customs and festivals) - over 45 activities
Theme 2 (home and local area/ social and global issues including healthy eating/ travel and tourism) - over 85 activities
Theme 3 (studies/ life at school/ post 16 options and future careers) - over 85 activities
Key grammar - all 8 tenses, prepositions, personal a and 3rd person opinions, regular and irregular verbs practice in all tenses including irregular past participles, questions, connectives, time expressions, using different tenses simultaneously.
Writing/ Speaking/ Creation structure tasks to improve fluency when developing ideas.
**These are all original resources that have been developed over the course of the year and transformed into a4 booklets for my current year 11s. **
Could be used for remote learning, homeworks, or adapted to support lessons.
Each unit consolidates key vocab, gives students several opportunities to practice the vocabulary and grammar in different contexts - and most importantly the activities vary greatly - meaning they’re not super dry! I’ve also taken extra care to ensure all resources are attractive and easily accessible as I teach a mixed ability year 11 class (targets 3-8)
I have included all vocab from the vocab pages
range of activities to revise/ consolidate vocab from this topic
could be printed as revision tasks/ booklets or used as starters to recap vocab as you move through
I often use starters to recap old topics then move on completely.
Great care has been taken to ensure it looks sophisticated, it is challenging - and easy to use.
animation and presentation of each activity is attractive and engaging.
I’ve put a lot of effort into these resource
all vocab from unit 3 vocab pages covered in a variety of ways - 11 different tasks
as stated above all have a consequent slide with fly in answers (exept one opinion task)
range of activities, cognitively demanding,
challenges on each slide so each one is differentiated
would be good as starters or revision tasks
In depth coverage of vocabulary and grammar - includes further practise of all grammar points covered in unit 2
extra detail of what’s included:
fly in answers for all slides
vocabulary (differentiated with challenge)
vocabulary categorization task
positives/ negatives of technology categorization task
habia vs era practise with translations
present perfect tense - how to form
present perfect tense conjugations - all topics
present perfect past participles - regulars/irregulars
present perfect technology translations
question words
select the correct question word task
por and para categorization task
Example is family/ relationships vocabulary from AQA unit 1 but can easily be adapted for other units.
You will need a copy of a vocab list - I couldn’t attach screenshots from Kerboodle/ textbook due to copy right
tasks: warm up classification task (challenging)
dominoes to consolidate understanding of vocabulary
game to practise vocab (students write tally at the back of books - teacher says english or spanish and first out of the pair to say it right gets a point)
Speaking support in teams
guide mark scheme
final production task which is challenging
differentiated throughout to provide extra support/ challenge
Topics included:
family/animals vocabulary

subjunctive mood - common expressions AND manipulation tasks for MA
Most tasks have challenge tasks on the slides :)
