I adapted this resource from the work of 'ali20' to enable my GCSE French group to create a description of a school visit in the past which will feed into their Controlled Assessment on School.
This resource focuses on developing reasoning and discussion skills for ESL students. I have used this resource in 1-1 online classes and in a full 25+ student classroom too.
Two powerpoint presentations are included.
Debate class 1 - should homework be banned?
This class includes introduction questions and warm up questions focusing on adverbs of frequency (additional worksheets could be used alongside this but are not included in this resource).
Debate class 2 - how often should we go on school trips?

Both classes allows a fluent discussion surrounding the key topic and introduces different opinions, debate questions and areas for in depth exploration

Student activity pack
I'm about to use this with my class today! We are having an Olympics 2 weeks. The children will be planning their own olympic journey at the end of the week involving flights from somewhere in Europe to London, choosing accomodation, working out prices for event tickets, travel, food etc. This booklet is for the first phase of preparation. It&'s a model of how to go about this type of investigation. We will be using John Nike centre in Bracknell as our location. I will update the resource after reflecting on my lesson later. As always, comments and ideas for development are much appreciated!
A lesson about speeches and persuasive techniques.
Students must write a persuasive speech to the head teacher about why they should go. There is a speech structure guide, examples of each persuasive technique and an example speech for students to use as a model.

A ‘mad lib’ activity sheet – a funny and entertaining way to practise grammar and word classes
This 5-page English activity is based on the game ‘mad libs’ and encourages students/children to shout out different kinds of words to fill in the gaps in the story!

The pages consist of:
Printed version of the story
Interactive/online-use version of the same story
Useful information about the different word classes and how to fill in the gaps!

Snakes and Ladders’ Games for Positive Behaviour Management and PHSE:
with editable Target-Setting proformas in Microsoft Word.
(Format: A3 COLOUR/ / A4 COLOUR / GREYSCALE)
This game is one of a set of 11 different games, also offered in the Shop as “a bundle”.
Each game is designed in the familiar format of a “snakes and ladders” game but the squares also have descriptions of situations and behaviours which typically occur in all classrooms and playgrounds. The ladders’ squares describe positive behaviours, and the snakes’ squares have descriptions of behaviours which negatively affect learning and relationships. The titles of the full set are listed below:
How do you deal with angry feelings?
What is “Bullying”?
Bullying - How do you deal with it?
Are you a good friend?
How do you behave in class?
Do you follow the School’s Code of Conduct?
Do you look after your environment?
Do you work well in a group?
Are you well-organised for the school day?
How should you behave on a school trip?
Do you try to work hard at school?
The games have been successful as a springboard for target-setting at KS2 and the early years of KS3. When laminated, they provide a permanent resource for your class and for future year groups. The statements in the games promote discussion which facilitates a focussed but non-judgemental approach to target-setting.
The teacher/mentor chooses one or more of the games relating to difficulties that are pertinent to an individual or group. The student/s agree on the targets that they are confident to be able to achieve. The games which focus on friendship, anger management and bullying have also proven useful following incidents of conflict between individuals.
The class plays a game, or different games, in pairs. If they play different games, the pairs can rotate and move on to another game. The teacher calls the class together for discussion with the most important targets agreed upon. Games can be chosen according to issues that need to be addressed. We have included editable Target Charts for whole class/groups and individuals., where teacher or students can type in the agreed targets which are ideally expressed in positive language.
NB: The teacher MUST establish a rule at the beginning that no-one’s name should be mentioned when discussing behaviours. Their contributions can be written by the teacher on the “board” using the template provided in the worksheet section.
We have provided examples of responses you might expect.
We have also provided a worksheet which students could complete at home, or in a small group, where they have privacy to write their responses. Again, the “No Names” rule should apply. The teacher can then review these statements, see which issues are identified by the majority of students, and then establish whole class targets.
The games have also been successful in lunch-time Games Clubs., and in “workshop” settings as part of a day focussing on Bullying and Friendship.
A knowledge organiser to support students talking about school trips which includes:
-a verb table-
-phonic help
-impress and succeed phrases
-higher tier phrases
-example exam questions
