KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

This unit revisits known grammar, vocabulary and sound-symbol correspondences, so that pupils can talk about what they like, would like and prefer in a range of contexts. Large numbers are revisited in the context of statistics on the German school system. Dates are revisited in the context of the German artist Franz Marc. Preferences, using gern, lieber and other comparative adverbs, are examined with reference to travel destinations. and the past tense is revisited in volunteering roles. Pupils apply their knowledge in speaking and writing interactions, including describing photos.
