KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

In this unit, pupils consolidate their knowledge of the future tense and the two-verb rule, with further practice in question formation and word order changes. They learn how to add detail to their descriptions, using the conjunction 'wenn', and word order 3. Pronouns (subject, direct and indirect objects) are revisited as pupils talk about the things that are important to them for their future. Authentic adapted texts are used, building pupils' confidence from earlier units in their ability to tackle more complex texts with a secure knowledge of high frequency vocabulary.
