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?!?!
4. En mi opinión soy muy simpática, y
probablemente soy un poco aburrida.
Pero antes, en la escuela primaria, tenía
más confianza. Mi mejor amigo es muy
divertido pero era tímido

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
