Teachers’ notes
The units within this site are intended for use at key stage 3. These units
cover the topic of the school and enable pupils to practise the four skills,
linked to the attainment targets in the National Curriculum.
The topic is divided into 4 units: Subjects, Teachers, Daily Routine and
School Clubs. Each unit consists of presentations to introduce new
vocabulary, writing activities, listening activities, oral activities and reading
activities. Interactive games are also included within the presentations. All
activities are supplied as worksheets, which can be used in the classroom, in
the computer suite or set as homework. Listening exercises require the use
of speakers on the computer. A full list of vocabulary to be introduced is
also included with these teacher’s notes.
The activities provided within the units are not designed to be introduced in
any order in particular. This allows for flexibility on the teacher’s behalf.
Following each presentation, a list of vocabulary is provided for pupils to
copy into their exercise books. This vocabulary can be displayed word-byword, enabling the teacher concerned to manage timing better.
