Last year we introduced bookmarks for all students to make it easier to see which section of their book needed marking. On one side we had the levels criteria and there was key language on the other. We have now updated the bookmarks, removed levels and replaced them with a marking key. Our students use purple pen to respond to marking and all the marking statements require students to produce further work or to reflect in more detail. You can download them below.

This Easter has been a lovely break, spent with my own children and one of the games we have played regularly was 'shopping list' by Orchard.
My teacher brain couldn't help but notice how well this would work for MFL so I have made a German version for revising some of the foundation items which often come up. The rules Each player (maximum 5) has a board with a shopping list and trolley. The smaller playing cards are cut up and spread out in from of the player, face down. Players then take it in turns to turn one card at a time. If the item is on their list, they put it into their trolley. The first player to complete their list wins! DOWNLOAD German version DOWNLOAD Spanish version Group discussions This is a support mat to assist students in talking freely and expressing their opinion in Spanish. One version can be folded to stand on the table to encourage group discussion whilst the other could be displayed or put in exercise books. DOWNLOAD Question of the day A good starter to get students talking straight away is to give the class a question to discuss, ensuring students are expressing and justifying their opinions. DOWNLOAD German opinions support sheet and questions of the day DOWNLOAD Spanish example questions of the day 30 second speeches Students are encouraged to speak for 30 seconds on a given topic. Students could participate in a 'reading images' task (inspired by the wonderful work by Rachel Hawkes - if you haven't already, I strongly recommend you view her resources TES for more ideas and info) or be given random key words they have to include. Obviously you can vary the amount of support offered, depending on the group. DOWNLOAD example Spanish 30 second speeches. Question grids The grids offer a variety of questions to get student talking to one another. DOWNLOAD Grid 1 DOWNLOAD Grid 2 Room 101 A simple power point to stimulate discussion as to what items students would place in room 101 and why. Many thanks to Jen Sutton (MFLresources forum) for the Spanish support pages. DOWNLOAD Diamond nines With a diamond nine activity, students have to rank the items in order of most important/relevant to them from top to bottom. This task encourages discussion as students can then justify their choices.

MFL classroom, then there are lots of inspiring resources on TES. Greg Horton and his colleagues at the Wildern School demonstrated successful ways to get students participating in group talk. Google will bring up a wealth of resources on this topic, but there are some sample resources here. Fortune tellers are an easy way to get students talking to one another.
