Edexcel GCSE German Revision Quickies: Vocabulary list and four accompanying worksheets for students preparing for Edexcel GCSE German. Theme 1: Identity and culture Subtheme: Who am I? (relationships; when I was younger; what my friends and family are like; what makes a good friend; interests; socialising with friends and family; role models) Using this pack: These worksheets are perfect for independent work as they recycle the same set of vocabulary used in Worksheet 1, and answers are included. They could be used to kickstart revision, giving students a starting point for vocabulary learning which relates directly to the exam. Students could use the vocabulary lists to first assess their own vocabulary knowledge (by testing themselves or a partner, and ticking known vocabulary off). Teachers may wish to use these worksheets throughout normal teaching after finishing delivery of each theme/subtheme, or synoptically to assess knowledge or provide a framework for revision.

Students read model answers about work experience placements and use them to learn about the past tense. Focus on features of high-quality German.

Final lesson in a series on food and drink with code-breaker activity and peer-assessed speaking activity.

2 full lessons at both higher (Rot) and foundation (Grün) level, based on Echo 3 Rot/Grün - about describing famous people, giving reasons why you like/don't like them (using 'weil'). The worksheet can be used to support in the second lesson.

A lesson showing students how to improve their writing using connectives, time-phrases and adverbials. See also my 7Up resource to help not-so-strong students form extended sentences!

Comprehensive sheet to prepare students for speaking/writing assessment, including Languages Ladder to show students specifically what they need to do/how to improve. The ladder is particularly useful for quickly setting very specific targets.

A lesson based on a text from Lernpunkt Deutsch 3 (p72) for year 10 on the topic of health.

Preparation materials for speaking/writing assessments in Year 9 French. Used in combination with Expo 3 Rouge textbooks, and given out along with my 'En bonne santé' sentence-builders sheet.

Slightly tongue-in-cheek lesson about writing a report on your teacher. Pupils read my report and fill in the appropriate endings, then pick out the best grammatical structures, and finally use what they've learnt to write their own reports on a teacher (suitable for a guessing game on which teacher they&'re talking about). Fun for my top-set year 10s.

Originally conceived to encourage students to improve on an existing piece of writing, this Writing Challenge could be used as a motivational competition (with prizes for the best entries), as a guided writing task in-lesson or an independent homework task. Maturer classes may even be able to cope with this as a cover lesson. The task: write a letter home about your (fictional) German exchange experience - your German exchange partner is Detlev, whose family are incredibly environmentally friendly (no heating, no electricity(!)). This challenge allows all students to create an end-product by choosing one of the three on offer (article, interview, poster). On the back is a colour-coded guide to verb forms and word order (present tense, modal/future structure, and verb-comma-verb/subordination, which could be used separately, or indeed throughout a GCSE course, as a reference tool.

'Pimp My Sentence' has been rebranded as '7Up' - this worksheet will help students to reach Level 7 in French writing/speaking - use in combination with my Pimp My Sentence mixed tense PowerPoint!

Lesson and worksheet linked with Echo 3, chapter 2, unit 3, on the topic of school reports. The worksheet is a starter activity (based on types of words); the presentation contains a starter on 'denn/weil', and the lesson leads towards students' writing their own school reports for their teachers using comparisons. Potentially fun!

A game/activity used to revise the topic of health. Full instructions included - print cards onto paper/card and put one set in an envelope (as many sets as you need for the class to work in pairs). Similar to taboo, but in reverse. Fun for advanced students.

Three worksheets for the topic of jobs. 1) Sheet focusing on masculine/feminine forms of jobs. 2) Sheet focusing on the PRONUNCIATION of these jobs. 3) Sheet encouraging speaking practice - Carroll diagram (basically a grid) can be used for e.g. Os and Xs or battleships and other pairwork or whole class activities to practice language at word- or sentence-level.
