This resource serves as a very useful recap of the Middle Ages and the various roles within Medieval society. It helps students visualise what it would have been like living in the Middle Ages and it ensures that they put the information that they have learnt to real use. It brings the subject to life. Students have a great deal of fun acting out each part. I hope that you will enjoy it.

This is for students aged 11-14. It has both a PowerPoint Presentation and a worksheet with key vocabulary and exercises. It also outlines the dative case. Great resource, which could be used for one or possibly two classes. Students can do the reading comprehension in groups using their learning strategies and there is also a pair work activity, so lots of active learning.

This PowerPoint presentation covers all areas of the topic "Ancient Ireland: The Celts and the Iron Age". It includes various diagrams, pictures and links to YouTube Clips which demonstrate how iron ore was smelted and what a crannóg looked like. It also includes questions and appropriate times for group work on questions in the book. This presentation can be used over a number of lessons.

This resource is used for 1st year students (12-13 years olds) of German in Ireland in teaching the vocabulary for Family as well as the possessive articles mein/meine. When using this resource, I usually ask students to repeat the content of most of the slides, starting at slide 4. I will then ask a few of them to practice the vocabulary by asking them questions such as 'wie heißt dein Bruder?/ wie heißt deine Schwester?" and then students can address the content meaningfully. It uses the Simpsons as a reference and is colour coded. Hope you find it as useful as I have! Enjoy!

This resource is useful when teaching possessive articles to beginners around the topic of Family. It includes pair work with a sample dialogue. It is used in conjunction with Meine Familie Part 1 presentation, which I created. Both focus on using the Simpsons as an ideal way of portraying the possessive articles. It also includes 'Lernziele' and a recap. I hope you will enjoy it.

This resource is for Junior Cycle students, helping them to learn about the Body. They learn how to identify different body parts and how to pluralise them. There are different activities involving labeling body parts, pluralising nouns, possessive adjectives (mein/meine) and saying what body part hurts(using a card game). A very useful worksheet for this topic.

This history study guide is one based on the Irish Junior Certificate Syllabus but it can be adapted to suit most history syllabi. It is a fantastic study guide as it categorises key elements of the course and makes it easier for students to learn a great deal of information by breaking it down for them. This covers the syllabus up until Christmas but it can be adapted for Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and so on. It includes the work of the historian and archaeologist; conservation; the Stone Age; The Bronze Age; the Celts and the iron Age. It also provides practical study tips.

These are notes on the topic of ‘Arbeit’ for senior level students. It is both useful for oral work and written. It covers a variety of aspects and encourages students to make a list of new vocabulary at the end, rather than just providing it. I usually hand this out in class and go through it so they can take note of any new vocabulary. I then test them on the new vocabulary the next day. I build on this by asking them various questions from the notes at the start of class throughout the week, constantly reinforcing the new phrases and vocabulary.

This is a group activity which can be used to recap on Ancient Rome. There are a number of words or categories on it. Print the sheet out and paste it on to cardboard/ laminate it. Then cut it into cards. Hand the cards out to students and then advise them that in 2 minutes time, you are going to pick a student at random to state 1 or 2 facts about the topic. However, the catch is, that some students have the same card so they can't state the same facts twice. In this way, students have to listen to each other, learning from one another. I ask all students to stand before asking them to speak about their card, and then once they have given an answer, they are asked to sit down. I use this activity at the end of the chapter or right before exams. Students treat it like a game and they learn a lot from one another. It is a fun activity.
