French and Spanish teacher. I like to play football in the park with my brother. Last weekend I went shopping. Next weekend if it is sunny I would like to swim.

Actually doing this backwards with Y9. Explaining first was going nowhere. Doing the stories first, then the explanation was easy.

Here's what Y9 are working on. Yes, there are mistakes. Because they are learning.
What do the mistakes show?

Then at GCSE they will be penalised for going beyond 3 clauses and making mistakes.

If this is the kind of thing Y9 are having a go at, what on earth is this definition of "good development" doing at GCSE?
Do they really want to take my teaching back 30 years?
