Four key resources for kickstarting students’ revision for any GCSE exam:
Essential vocabulary (‘Key verbs in context’ and ‘Antonyms and synonyms’)
Genders and plurals
Translation grid (complex grammar and a range of topics)
Edexcel GCSE German Revision Quickies:
Vocabulary list and four accompanying worksheets for students preparing for Edexcel GCSE German.
Theme 1: Identity and culture
Subtheme: Daily life (customs and everyday life; food and drink; shopping; social media and technology (use of, advantages and disadvantages))
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.
This is a series of reading exam questions in the literary extract format, compiled from papers currently available (in 2020) across the exam boards for GCSE German.
Download includes two booklets in pdf format:
Teacher version: 32 pages of questions with the answers immediately after each question (for some of the simpler questions I haven’t included answers, but for ones where there is ambiguity, e.g. written answers in English, it is always included).
Pupil version: 39-page booklet containing the same questions as above, with the answers compiled at the end. Teachers can choose not to include the answer section when printing if desired. NB the page numbers from both booklets should match - in the Pupil version there are gaps/blank pages where the answers appear in the Teacher version.
