Goals

Pupils need to practice as they will be tested. By giving them a mock test they will have a better idea of the test they will receive. Increasing their chances of a good grade.Pupils will be aware of the grammar topics they still need to study.

Why

The teacher hands out a mock test. Depending on the scores they get, the pupils split up into groups. One group will receive more grammar explanation, while the other group will focus on the Test Yourself.

How

Go through the mock test and be aware why the answers are correct (and others wrong). Go through the grammar topics and know how to explain them properly in different ways. Photocopy the test for your pupils. Photocopy the answer sheet.

Prep

50 minutesTime

When teaching the group which needs more explanation, ask the pupils what they would like to look at first or where they had the most mistakes. The future tense is really difficult, if possible tell pupils to focus on the other topics instead, so they have a higher chance of scoring well on the test (setting priorities).

It is important to express to the group who is going to work on their own what your expectations of them are. (That they work in such a manner that you can focus on the group who needs your help).

20 min Explain Grammar / Test Yourself Together with some pupils the teacher works on a few specific grammar topics. This really depends on what the pupils need. It is advisable to ask these pupils to come sit to the front while the other pupils who work on their own sit in the back. This way it is easier to make contact.

The PowerPoint includes hyperlinks to the topics. These topics consist of an explanation and extra practice sentences.

The teacher might prefer to work using the sentences on the test as examples instead.

The others work on Test Yourself quietly.
