KS2 KS3 French MFL Food Topic - Les Fruits - Fruit - TWO activities, presentation/classroom display!

KS2 KS3 French MFL Food Topic - Les Fruits - Fruit - TWO activities, presentation/classroom display!

(0)
Ideally suited to KS2 or KS3 French lessons, though would be equally good for KS4 lower abilities. This resource introduces French names of nine common fruits in a PowerPoint show. As always, masculine and feminine nouns are colour coded throughout the resource. The PowerPoint would be equally useful for classroom display/keyword wall or printing four to a page for flash cards. Alongside the PowerPoint is a match-up activity. Print this onto card and laminate for longevity or print on paper and get students to glue the matches in their exercise books. As a game, there's also a 'dominoes' activity and instructions. Printing and laminating this means it can be used over and over. Enjoy.

MS Excel - Tracking Student Data - IF Statements to Compare target to grades; teacher instructions

(0)
Teacher instructions to help with tracking data for departments, school wide or individual class trackers. These instructions show how to insert an IF statement to compare a grade (for a unit/exam/module etc.) to a target, to show whether it's above, below or meeting target grade. Two separate instructions for grades A*-G and numbers 9-1. Ideal for whole staff training. More advanced staff should be adapting the formulae to suit their needs. Enjoy.
GCSE Computer Science - Computer Legislation Activities (Data Protection Act etc.) Differentiated

GCSE Computer Science - Computer Legislation Activities (Data Protection Act etc.) Differentiated

(0)
Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws: - Data Protection Act 1998 - Computer Misuse Act 1990 - Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 - Creative Commons Licensing - Freedom of Information Act 2000 There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier. 1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek! 2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion. Enjoy.

Business Location - Choosing an appropriate location - Starter Task / Discussion

Business Location - Choosing an appropriate location - Starter Task / Discussion

(7)
A nice little task when teaching Business Location. Print or display the drawn choices of possible locations. Students complete the handout by selecting an appropriate location (by letter) and giving their reasons for their choice. There's no answer sheet, but selections should be appropriate with sensible reasoning. This could then lead to a class discussion, a nice starter! Apologies for my drawings! I'm no artist... Enjoy

Start-Up and Running Costs - GCSE Business Studies - Full lesson, lesson plan and 3 handouts!

(3)
This is another in my 'Let's Learn' series. The lesson gets students to think about their initial ideas before introducing start-up and running costs so progress can easily be judged. The lesson PowerPoint is equally good for revision if printed or made available electronically so it's even more of a bargain! There are two main activities (one is an exam style question assessment that can be peer marked with teacher guidance. The lesson plan is included to guide teachers through every step of the lesson. Enjoy!
