Here is a 9 letter word activity for tutorial. Students have to find the nine letter word and as many words with a least 2, 3, 4, 5 letters. You can vary the difficulty. I have used this in tutorial to have with spelling. Be careful if you project this on overhead projector as answer is the name of the file and some students will probably see this. You can just quickly write the letters on board or change file name. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)

Here is a running dictation in Spanish I prepared for my Yr10 after my summer holidays of 2014. The idea is to print the word file, cut it in strips and stick it around the room. Print 2 copies for big class. The students work in pairs. You give them a time limit, maybe 1 minute to start with during which one student comes to the piece of text to read and try to remember what he/she can. Then he/she goes back to write down what he/she can remember whilst the other person goes to read and try to remember more. They keep swapping around. Once you think they are more or less done, you can correct with the PowerPoint presentation. I get my students to underline/tick every word they get right and write what they are missing in a different colour. After that, there are some comprehension questions about the holidays followed by some creative writing on what happened next. I have also included what really happened next to compare with what they come up with. Enjoy and please feedback! :-)
