The school where I taught German (and other subjects) for many years, ran a "Celebration of Languages" incursion for Year 8 students. These students learn German, Chinese or Japanese, or have English Support classes.We had about 170 students participating in three 20 minute activities. Two of the activities were craft based - badge (button) making and paper fan decorating - and the students were encouraged to utilise their chosen language/culture in their designs. I ran a quiz competition as the third activity. The number of students in each group meant that we ran the quiz in two rooms. This meant that while I was in one room, I had to have another teacher (who doesn't teach a language this year) running the quiz in the other room. The success of the quiz can be attributed to the organisation that was done in advance:
Please let me know if you would like any of the files I created for the quiz. It was a fun morning and the students were really competitive. The event will most likely become part of the annual calendar. |
