Time to speed date…..! Share your lesson idea with 1 person Spend only 3 minutes (there will be a whistle after 6 minutes!) Make any notes you like (the plan is to have all ideas & resources to take away on a CD anyway though) After 50 minutes we will have 8 ideas each Last few minutes to write your favourite idea that you want to try out asap! Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

Next steps Keep sharing ideas Actively look for links with other subject areas Begin to consider evaluation How will we know it is working? Look back at what we want learners to look like Measure by student voice, self-report, compare with year 8 Volume, amount of student TL talk, vocabulary tests, written work, speaking levels, interest & enthusiasm, number of questions asked Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I taught myself then I taught my dad which taught me as well.

I made a song out of the words in Spanish. I also had my brother help so when he gets to this school it will help him.

I learnt them all on one day then on the day before the test my mum tested me on the words/corrected me. Next she said sentences e.g. I get up and have a shower then I had to say them in Spanish and vice versa.

I remembered these words by taking 3-4 words at a time and memorised them through repetition and gestures. After learning the 3-4 words, I asked my mum to test me on those in any order. After repeating this process I was able to recite these words from memory.

I got my sister to read out the English then I say the Spanish. I did this after reading the meanings then covering them up and saying them again and again. My sister gave me a test on them every night since we got the homework. She pointed out the ones I needed to work on. I needed to have a test every night because I remember things best when I repeat things.

I memorised the words by learning them by cutting them into groups e.g. 1-5, 6-10, etc..
