Here is the latest trapdoor activity I have designed for Christmas. It is like a letter to Santa that French kids always write at this sort of time to ask Santa for the presents they want for Christmas. I have also slipped in a few French Christmas traditions. I will do this with my Yr7 and Yr8 in the last week before the Christmas break. Joyeux Noël à tous et bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
A series of questions to go with a video I found on the internet about Christmas. Here is link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwAnG8k1bC4
Good for Yr 7,8,9 for a bit of culture to put them in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
A good old fashion dictation about my holidays in El Salvador I did with my Yr10 GCSE French. (162 words). Followed by comprehension exercise. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Despacito is a fashionable song at the moment that my Yr10 and Yr9 seem to love and sing in the corridors. As an end of term treat, I have done a little worksheet to go with this song. It has a text in Spanish explaining the background of this song with vocab and comprehension questions. Then a fill the gaps activity before trying to sing it as a class. I have also put the answers to vocab/questions and full lyrics. Enjoy...!
I have designed this worksheet for my KS4 Spanish GCSE class for them to practise preterite and imperfect tense and also vocab related to topic. Looking up meaning of verbs, text with verbs to put in correct tense, matching up sentences.
To be printed double sided. Two way translation on the topic of town and area. Would suit Yr 9 top set or Yr 10 preparing a piece of writing on town and surrounding. This is based on Exeter but could be adapted to other places in England. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
A little translation activity I designed for my Yr10 GCSE French with vocab from school/education unit. Students work out the rules in English. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Two way translation about topic of school for GCSE Spanish, to help them with reading and writing skills. (20 sentences) Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!
