Italian New Year Traditions - KS3 - Worksheet and Answers

Italian New Year Traditions - KS3 - Worksheet and Answers

(0)
Excellent resource, outlining in four short paragraphs a series of Italian traditions and customs for New Year's Eve. Document includes a short text, a series of questions in English to consolidate understanding, answers to the questions and helpful vocabulary. The text is adapted from a longer article online (link on worksheet) and can easily be lengthened if not challenging enough for group. I use this with a year 7 and a year 10 Italian class, both several months into their Italian language studies. Acts as a great springboard for further discussion and cultural comparisons, and introduces them to a range of authentic vocabulary. A perfect first lesson back in January, topical and interesting.

Fully animated with notes under each slide for teacher. Lesson PowerPoint, pairs game and worksheet included in download. Great fun to teach!

French New Year Traditions Article, Worksheet and Answers - KS5

(0)
Excellent resource, perfect as a first lesson back after the holidays. Two-page article (link included on document) exploring French New Year traditions and presenting lots of opportunities for cultural discussion. Article is split into sections for ease of reading and discussion. Examples of cultural interest include the French tradition of sending New Year greeting cards, the annual televised French presidential address on 31 December, the change in date of the first day of the new year over the centuries, and the significance of 'l’Épiphanie' and 'la galette des rois'. Worksheet asks students to draw out synonyms from text for specific vocabulary (e.g. 'les moufles' - 'les gants'), and to respond to six questions in French related to these customs. Fully differentiated for LA learners with a vocabulary table and sections of the text signposted in brackets to support with answering the questions. These can easily be deleted for HA learners. Questions can be extended with reference to the subjunctive and other grammatical elements of the text. Students could also be asked to summarise in 100 words the main differences between traditional French New Year celebrations and those of their home country.
Expo 3 (Rouge) - Ça ne va pas - Illnesses and injuries in the perfect tense

Expo 3 (Rouge) - Ça ne va pas - Illnesses and injuries in the perfect tense

(0)
Great lesson, based on Expo 3 (Rouge) spread of 'Ça ne va pas'. Builds on prior knowledge of illnesses and injuries in the present tense, and works on using reflexive verbs with être in the perfect tense to describe problems with the body. Lesson begins with a re-cap of various body parts, then moves on to ask students to match the first and second half of sentences describing injuries in the past tense to five images. Reading, mini whiteboard translation and writing activities follow, with 'être' song to re-cap verb in present tense if teacher wishes. Splat game to review learning at the end of the lesson. Fully differentiated with 'Want support' and 'Challenge options'. Fully animated with all answers and notes for teachers underneath slides if helpful. Worksheet and full lesson PowerPoint in bundle. Interactive and great fun to teach!

Expo 2 (Rouge) - Desolé(e) mais... - Excuses

(0)
Great lesson, focusing on excuses for not responding positively to an invitation. Based on 'Desolée mais...' spread in Expo 2 (Rouge). Can be taught as one or two lessons depending on ability of group - lots in here. 11 activities in total + 2 Starters and 2 Plenary games. I have split it into two lessons as best for my class, but second date and Starter slide can easily be deleted to make it into one lesson. Fully animated with all answers. Directions for teacher if helpful under each slide. Differentiated with support and challenge options. Lots of games, mini whiteboard activities etc. Verb tables and songs for 'devoir' and 'pouvoir'. A huge time saver and great fun to teach!

Mario Kart Grammar Grand Prix - Assessment for Learning Progress Tracker

(0)
Excellent resource, adored by students, to track and chart progress. Set up to be used for grammar ('er', 'ir', 're', modal verbs and so on), but can be adapted to suit any learning objectives. Students are assigned a character and given a grid at the start of term, or half-term, depending on how many objectives you wish to cover. After each objective has been covered, they circle the traffic light for that square to represent their confidence and understanding - green for very confident, amber for okay but a little unsure, and red if they feel they still don't understand. Very useful for teacher to glance over, to set activities in class as groups, or differentiated homework / prep. A fabulous insight into the progress of students individually and as a class that is subtle and fun for them. In my experience they are very honest too as only they and you see the grid, rather than asking for thumbs or coloured cards to be held up in class.

Display / Activity - French labels for classroom objects

(0)
Three pages of French vocabulary for classroom objects. Size 50 text and neatly arranged into boxes to print, laminate and blu-tack to different areas of classroom. Excellent for support during lessons that are taught in target language (provides reference for example for the request 'Ferme la porte s'il te plaît'), and also broadens linguistic horizons of learners being surrounded by TL in normal classroom. Can also be used as an activity for younger learners. Students in pairs or in small groups are given five minutes to translate and categorise words (lots of possibilities - by gender, by objects that touch the floor etc.). Excellent to generate discussion regarding articles and difference between French and English. Students then timed to carefully and silently blu-tack correct label (without referring to translation) to correct part of classroom. Each team starts on 10 points. 5 points awarded for each correct, careful and silent placement of word. 30 bonus points awarded for the quietest and most sensible team. Share points system and Success Criteria, and ask students to generate their own rules to manage game before beginning (for example remember to walk not run).
