Grammar Journal for KS4


A lovely journal that I made with my year 9 class in preparation for the start of their GCSE course.  The pupils had to complete a treasure hunt to find the grammar posters and then we worked through each element of grammar, adding our own annotations to remind ourselves of the most important points.  The girls loved this as they got to decorate them themselves and we made them with six pieces of card stuck together with grey duct tape.

Of course the icing on the cake was tying it all together with a pretty ribbon - but there are plenty of more "manly" alternatives for the boys!

The girls now have these at home to use for their homework and controlled assessment preparation.  And they actually like them!

With so many new ideas to think about , the idea of designing a unit of work for MFL seems scarier and more complicated now than ever.  With new specifications on the horizon, though, it's something we all need to be thinking about to get the most out of the new courses.  We need to be ready to hit the ground running as soon as these new courses go live. With that in mind, I've decided to have a look at some of the issues surrounding the design of a new unit of work.

In the mad scramble to prepare our pupils for their speaking exam this year, I'm sure we've all felt like we are going to lose some (or ourselves)! I have made a booklet that will help them to write their own independent answers for questions based on the AQA specification. This should help them to work on their own at home and give them more control over the content of their speaking answers and also help them to prepare for their writing. I've popped it onto TES for £3.50. I hope you find it helpful and as stress-relieving for you and your pupils as I have. Here's an example of the sentence-builder pages.  I have written two questions and answers for each topic in each theme, so there are actually 49 questions with answers like the one below. Here's the link to the resource on my TES shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12661978
