2 Task 1 This is all about knowing clearly what will be expected of students at the end of KS4 students. This is the foundation writing paper. I think it’s helpful to focus on middle –lower attaining students as these are often the ones who struggle with retention over KS3. Look at the Y10 writing exam paper. Note the language that is needed (in the language you teach) to complete the tasks.
3 ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Mi insti está bastante lejos de mi casa, y por eso voy en autobús. Hay un camping con una familia. Las clases empiezan a las ocho y media y terminan a las tres. Tenemos seis clases al día. Es verano y hace sol. Un chico monta en bici. En el recreo hablo con mis amigos o juego al fútbol. Tengo que llevar uniforme, que no me gusta nada. Están de vacaciones.
4 Tengo el pelo corto y castaño.Uso las redes sociales para pasar el tiempo. Un buen amigo siempre te hace reír. Me encanta la música. De momento mi cantante favorita es Adele. Me gusta mucho porque tiene una voz muy expresiva. El año pasado fui a ver a Adele en un concierto en el estadio O2. Había 20,000 personas y fue fantástico. No quiero salir porque está lloviendo.

Había 20,000 personas y fue fantástico. Aunque me encanta la música prefiero hacer deporte con mis amigos. A veces vamos al parque a jugar al tenis o vamos a la piscina. Me gusta mucho nadar porque es relajante. Este mes voy a ir a Londres con mi familia porque es el cumpleaños de mi madre. Vamos a ir al teatro y luego a un restaurante chinco, porque a mi madre le chifla la comida china. Aunque me encanta la música prefiero hacer deporte con mis amigos.

11 Verbs In the early stages of a language course, particular attention should be paid to the planned building of pupils’ verb lexicon, focussing on the meaning of the stem or infinitive form of common verbs. A strong basic verb lexicon has been found to relate positively to pupils’ ability to learn to manipulate those verbs at later stages. p.10 MFL Pedagogy Review Report November 2016
12 El próximo fin de semana..To go to the cinema I like to go/going … I usually go… I went... I’m going to go… presente Normalmente .. voy al cine me gusta ir al cine futuro pasado I have found this year that our toolkit in Spanish needs to include a few essential verbs that we can conjugate in 3 tenses. Ultimately for my group this year it’s less important for them to learn a paradigm and manipulate accurately 100 AR reg verbs than it is for them to be completely happy and secure with the most useful verbs (invariably irregular). Consistency in presentation is helpful here. El próximo fin de semana.. El fin de semana pasado.. voy a ir al cine fui al cine

With four different task formats, students can see their progression over time, if they attempt a more challenging version of the task the second time around. Markscheme – 3 – 2 – 1 – 0

Then include: Three different activities you did on most days What you did in the evenings What you did one particular day – e.g. a visit / excursion Give at least two opinions.
