Why this why now
New vocabulary is introduced in the context of international issues, medicine and online safety. Together with revisiting known grammar and vocabulary, this allows pupils to read and respond to texts, to read aloud and undertake extended written production. Modal verbs in present and past, reflexive verbs and the use of 'man' to avoid the passive are used in discussing life and challenges in other countries. Developments and current challenges in medicine provide further context, whilst online safety articles support extended reading and practice of the imperative.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know modal verbs in the present and past tenses.
- Pupils know reflexive verbs in 2-verb structures with present and imperfect modal verbs.
- Pupils know a range of word pattern rules.
- Pupils know a range of verbs in the simple past (higher)
- Pupils know word order 3 with a range of conjunctions including 'obwohl'.
- Pupils know the imperative in the du, ihr and Sie (formal) forms (higher).
