Excellent lesson, introducing / re-capping Italian Easter vocabulary and traditions. Fully animated and very attractively presented. Lesson is fully differentiated with ‘Challenge’ and ‘Want support’ options for learners as appropriate. LA and HA worksheets included within bundle. All answers provided and support for teacher in ‘Notes’ section of each slide. Emphasis on fun, independent learning. Students are asked to match Italian Easter vocabulary to the English equivalents to begin, then repeat the words after the teacher (create a team points game from this activity if you wish with actions). Students are then asked to match a phrase to the correct image, using letter cards or by writing a letter on a whiteboard. A reading text then follows, with questions linked to Easter celebrations and traditions in Italy. At the end of the lesson, a Pictionary slide is set up to review learning, and also an Easter Egg Hunt game, whereby if students answer questions correctly, they can choose a square to hunt for 15 golden eggs. Took four hours to make! A huge time saver!

A fully-prepared letter, ready to edit with your name, job title and e-mail address to send home to Parents / Carers regarding the implementation of a penpal scheme with a school abroad. The letter outlines the importance of safeguarding (i.e. that all communication should pass through school only), and asks Parents / Carers to sign and return a slip indicating that they are happy for their son or daughter to include a photograph of themselves in their letter to their penpal should they wish to. A huge time-saver! Easily adaptable for other languages, simply substitute 'French' for the language your students are learning.

A bundle of two letters, advising Parents / Carers that their son or daughter will be taking part in a cultural cooking lesson, and asking for consent and a voluntary contribution of £1.50 to cover materials. A great time saver! Easily adapted to suit the activity you have in mind. The letters are set up for French students to decorate and ice a 'Bûche de Noël' (Chocolate Yule Log) and German students a 'Lebkuchenmann' (Gingerbread Man). They were originally used at Christmas time alongside a cultural comparison regarding Christmas celebrations. A hugely popular activity that students never forget! Letters have also been adapted to make crêpes with French year 11 students and pizza with year 7 Italian students. Great fun and wonderful bringing the language to life in this way!

Huge time saver! Created for an observed lesson and took over 12 hours with first part. Graded outstanding! Excellent resource, second lesson working on the Italian Passato Prossimo.
