A while ago I stumbled upon some incredible resources on TES made by Gianfranco Conti. These 'revision quickies' are an absolutely fantastic way of helping students to prepare for their exams by learning and practising vocabulary. I've already used up most of his sheets with my classes, so I've been inspired to create some more myself, although they aren't as fancy! See below for the free downloads and let me know if you spot any mistakes! Once my Year 11s have completed their final controlled assessment I intend to spend the rest of the time really focusing on reading and listening skills and encouraging them to learn vocabulary in preparation for the end of year exams. I'm hoping that a combination of these 'revision quickies', my Spanish starter PowerPoints, reading and listening exercises from the AQA GCSE Revision Workbook and Kahoot quizzes, as well as Memrise and Zondle games for homework will be enough to prepare them for what lies ahead! Any other suggestions are welcome!!! Kahoot quizzes - just click the links below: Work and Education Home and Environment Leisure Lifestyle General Vocabulary 'Revision Quickies' The following sheets were created by myself but the original idea was taken from Gianfranco Conti.

I’m sure by now most of the mfltwitterati have heard of Memrise and a lot are using the site with their students. If you haven’t heard of it before, you’re in for a treat. Feel free to look at my old blog post here to find out more. I’ve been using this with my own students over the past year and I usually set it as homework once a fortnight with KS4 classes. One thing that always bothered me was not being able to easily monitor the students to make sure they were doing the homework. Luckily, they have recently added some new features which are specifically for teachers. These new teacher tools allow you to create classes and track student progress, and setting it up is all pretty straightforward. Just register as a teacher, click ‘Classes’, create your first class, then select the ‘Courses’ that you want that class to have access to. All you have to do is provide students with the link or invite them via email. If students are already signed up they just need to log in and type in the link, then they will be added to that class. Once the games have been played you can then view an overall leaderboard for each class (weekly, monthly and all time), as well as a leaderboard for each topic. I’m going to continue setting Memrise as homework, alongside Zondle, with my KS4 classes and whoever is at the top of the leaderboard for that topic at the end of the fortnight will win a prize. All of the AQA GCSE French and Spanish vocabulary has been uploaded so feel free to hand out the following sheets to your students or use them for displays. I typed in the Spanish vocabulary but not the French so thank you to whoever did! How do you use Memrise with your classes? Feel free to leave a comment below. I haven't tried this myself yet but it could be good for listening skills. Give them the script with words missing and they have to fill in the gaps. |
