Vocabulary for various German festivals.

Memory test of vocabulary then slides to introduce opinions and a reading challenge text.

2 worksheets to practise colours and clothing.

Presentation to introduce places in town in German with global pictures.

Students choose a medal challenge and translate the text into English. The challenge is to then cover over the original German text and try and translate the paragraph back into German.

This can be adapted to suit your subject and lesson topic. I use the AFL sheet at the end of the lesson to review the topics.

Differentiated takeaway homework that can be easily adapted.

Useful for year 7 classes to see what they already know.

Starter: using language knowledge to skim and scan a text. Understanding a text without using a dictionary. Running dictation task with extension questions.

Can be used as a starter or a main. First Powerpoint contains trapdoor activity and a literacy task. Second Powerpoint contains long German words. I get students to guess the pronunciation and then they have to try and work out the meaning of the compound nouns.

Can be used with any class, my year 7 class loved it. There is a higher ability power point that I used with year 9. Print out A3 copies of the text and place outside the room. Use rules slide to explain expectations of the group. I have attached a timer to keep the pace of the task and to allow students to keep track of time. Afterwards, you can use a mark scheme to check the sentences. I have also included a follow on text so that pupils can understand what they have been reading. On the higher power point there is a writing mat which can be used as an extension task.

Pupils are given picture prompts with optional vocabulary on the reverse of the pictures. Those who need to can refer to the vocabulary during the task. Using the group talk structures, they are encouraged to have spontaneous conversations. Group talk can be differentiated to allow all abilities to participate. I normally use groups of 4 or 6 and set a time limit. Afterwards, I encourage reflective feedback and ask for examples of conversations. I also use peer assessment sheets so that pupils can assess each other.

Sentences link to expo 1 but can be adapted

This is an alternative version to my expo 1 revision ppt. Can be adapted to include different sentences.

Great for boosting confidence in speaking exams. The examples I have given are in German but you can easily adapt it to different languages and abilities. You'll need to print off picture stimulus and give each student a bingo card. In small groups, students pick up a picture card and create a sentence about the picture which includes a grammar element from the bingo square. The rest of the group must assess if the sentence is grammatically correct. If it is, then students tick off that square and the next person has their turn. The winner is the first person to tick off all squares.
