Each unit consolidates key vocab, gives students several opportunities to practice the vocabulary and grammar in different contexts - and most importantly the activities vary greatly - meaning they’re not super dry! I’ve also taken extra care to ensure all resources are attractive and easily accessible as I teach a mixed ability year 11 class (targets 3-8)
PPT detailing a formula for Foundation students to follow to easily increase tenses/ development in their answers.
I've used this with several intervention groups and low ability boys in particular and have seen a big improvement!
Developed to be completed remotely during lockdown, this comprehensive workbook goes through several topics in detail, including key vocabulary and grammar. Tasks are differentiated, with lots of support for lower ability students and stretch and challenge tasks.
Tasks are inductive, and require students to use the vocabulary and grammar in context rather than learning by repetition which is low level, not sufficiently demanding and not as engaging.
Topics include:
numbers, months + time
sequences
dates
spanish speaking countries
physical description
family
animals + colours
word order
where we live
free time
i form vs. infinitive verbs
opinions + infinitive verbs
sports
tv + film
weather
countries + nationalities
holidays
food
as well as LISTENING, READING + WRITING tasks
There is a separate document with answers to tasks.
Specifically developed for the new GCSE AQA specification
All tenses have a step by step explanation with an example, at least 1 practise activity and then answers in red on a separate duplicate slide.
Booklet is divided into 2 principal sections - basic grammar and grade 7+
I have covered a range of grammar from different topics including local area, environment, family, healthy living etc.
Tenses/ grammar covered:
Present(I do) / present perfect (I have done)
Past (preterite (I did) and imperfect (I used to))
Future (simple (I’m going to) and proper ‘I will’)
Conditional (I would do)
Si clauses + conditional (If I… I would…)
Higher level sentence structure
higher level phrases/ idioms
