My bottom sets really struggle with vocabulary tests and I think part of the problem may be that a lot of them either don't know how to revise or they think it's enough to just stare at the words (as well as other factors!), so I thought I'd come up with a 'Guided Vocabulary Revision' sheet for my Y8 group's test next week (see bottom of the post). I trialled something similar to this with some of my classes last year and it worked really well... Year 7 Group Previous Vocabulary Test: 27% of students achieved at least 6/10 Test After Revision sheet: 39% of students achieved 10/10 100% of students achieved at least 6/10 100% of students made progress Year 10 Group Previous vocabulary test: 64% of students achieved 10/10 Test After Revision Sheet: 91% of students achieved 10/10 The remaining 9% of students did not complete the Vocabulary Revision sheet With one of my current groups I'm trialling something similar, however this time I'm expecting them to do a 5 minute exercise a day over the next week (5-A-Day Spanish) instead of leaving it all until the last minute. I've also copied the vocabulary over to Memrise for those who are still struggling with the vocabulary after completing the sheet. The sheet is free to download is at the bottom of this post. Hope it's useful! Let me know if you do anything similar (or have any better ideas!) with your students. Dannielle

Thank you for the idea! Just wanted to ask, what's the quickest way to make such sheets. Is there any templates or you do them yourself in Word?

Hi Niaz. Thanks for the comment. I made it myself on Word, but it was mostly just copying and pasting the vocabulary. Now I have the layout set up it will be quicker next time round. Apparently you can print worksheets similar to this using Textivate, but sadly our dept. doesn't have this! Dannielle

Hi Karen. I've searched everywhere on my USB to find the first Vocabulary Revision sheet, but can't seem to find it. If I manage to track it down I'll upload it. Dannielle

Thank you for this idea. I have asked my department to trial it with our Year 11 pupils this week. You're very generous to share your resources like this. We get a lot of ideas from you!

Hi Danielle, thank you for sharing this. I love this five a day idea with just the fill in the blanks too. I read, re-read, then took all of the micro-listening skills and receptive skills articles I could find from Gianfranco, and compiled them into a powerpoint file complete with examples.

Dear Dannielle, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful resources. I have seen some taster on the recent Show and Tell. I especially like the vocabulary practice sheet :) I am teaching German and was wondering if I could adapt your French sheet, so I can create similar ones for the German students. Would you be able to publish this in a Word doc or email it to me? I would be really grateful :) Be blessed for sharing :)
