MARY GLASGOW magazines for terrific thinking skills based starters (CASSE-TETE)

Here is just one example from a recent Y9 lesson on school.  This really challenged them and was a great starter whilst I set up the IWB.  have a go - it's not as easy as it looks - even I took about 5 minutes and I class myself as relatively clever!!! A head-breaker indeed...

I have loads of back copies so I know how i'll be spending my evenings over the next few weeks!

These living graphs show immediate comprehension (or not) and all related resources are available from mfl sunderland website - Clare S you are a star! See earlier SCHOOL SUBJECTS Likes and Dislikes post under Year 9 category.

MAGIC VERB CARDS - a fantastic resource I discovered recently!

These magic verb cards (available in German Spanish and French to my knowledge) are available from www.advancematerials.co.uk and cost less than £7 including VAT for a full set and a couple of "magic" cards.  As you can see from the photo, pupils get the card and can see the whole phrase including the correct part of the verb.  When they have had some time to study the card, they are asked to cover it with the "magic" red card which hides the orange text ie. the verb.  Awesome!  We had great fun and the pupils are all much better with verbs - result!

 

Odd one out - Cherch l'intrus (Thinking skills)

Year 10 have been studying modal verbs alongside the past tense in FRENCH.  Some of them have struggled!

We have been using these odd one out exs in class to try and get pupils to justify thier answers in groups and to peer support eachother - afterall they get fed up of hearing me going on all the time!

They were all 100% accurate with their reasons and sometimes these sorts of activities lend themselves to surprising and unpredicted answers which can be equally right bit maybe nor quite the answer the teacher was looking for.

Let me know what you think :)
