Interview with a headteacher of a school celebrating 18 years as a "Schule ohne Rassismus". The text features authentic details about the school edited into an old AQA resource on the same topic. There are then two reading comprehension activities.
Dialogue for students to act out, in which Dracula repeatedly oversleeps and has to ask Igor what time it is. Perform it to them with the FLA or act out both parts yourself. The hammier the better. Then ask them to practise the dialogue. They can then use the additional lexis at the bottom of the sheet to expand the dialogue, either as an oral improvisation or as a written task.
Interactive drag and drop practice of the 16 countries taking part in Uefa 2012. Pupils have to try to match the name of the goalkeeper to the national team. There are 16 countries in the quiz, but it will select a different set of eight each time you open it. Never the same twice.
This interactive presentation is designed to elicit a range of questions from pupils at the start of a topic. It incorporates Ian Gilbert's 8 Way Thinking ideas (based on Gardener's Multiple intelligences) to ensure breadth of thinking. Within each of the 8 intelligences the questions are sequenced to ensure depth of thinking too. The questions pupils generate can be used to inform your planning and / or provide direction for pupils who finish the work you have set and / or ideas for homework.
The PPT is a stimulus for a bit of spoken practice of the Accusative. The first slide acts as homepage: students select a letter from the homepage and are hyperlinked to a slide; they then have to say create a sentence saying they would like to have/own/but the animal pictured, using the on-screen help to get the Accusative right.
This activity is derived from a Powerpoint on Asking The Way, originally uploaded by sammy_lou710 , but has been re-worked in terms of content and format. I designed it for my Year 8 class to work through independently in the computer suite, but it could be adapted easily to be presented on the IW.
Interactive drag and drop exercise, in which pupils must link the eight parts of speech to examples in German. Will work in the computer suite or on the IW.
