My supposed 7 minute presentation from TM MFL Plymouth. However, I went on a bit... it's a subject I'm passionate about- handing over control to our students!

1. Why do we still introduce new
language from a board?
- because it aids memorisation?
- because we’ve got an interactive
whiteboard?!
- because that’s what we’ve
always done?!?!

6. Your end of unit project this half term will
be to create a blog post on your attitude to
addiction and drug legalisation.
Obviously, the best blog posts aren’t just
text- what else might yours include?
Spend 5 minutes with a partner discussing…
a) What your post might include
b) What words you might need?
My favourites:
setting a project

7. You have 25 minutes to…
Create a vocab list of at least 20 words for yourself on
the topic of “health”- not just drugs!
Write the Spanish and the English
This must include…
• 5 infinitives (AT LEAST)- words that in English
begin “to…” eg “to drink”
• In Spanish these end in –ar , -er or -ir
• 5 opinions eg “healthy”
I have a list of 9 words- if you get more than 3 of
them you get 2 merits
My favourites:
create own word list
