A short exercise for Construction students to read the official definition for several terms and then write their understanding of the definition in their own words.
My L1 learners were really struggling to remember what to do to convert units of measurement and were getting very confused at the initial stage, so I made this resource and laminated it so that it was available for them to look at if they couldn’t remember. Could also be made into a poster.
A resource I created to support my students getting used to what they needed to divide or multiply by to convert between units. Can easily be laminated for repeated use, or increased in size and turned in to a poster.
Handy 2 page handout. Page 1 explains nouns, verbs and adjectives – with vocational examples. Page three includes a table for collecting and classifying relevant vocabulary (could also be used as a spelling list).
A set of 2 posters for the classroom – also useful as handouts. Metric measures (L1 upwards) – clarifies metric prefixes Imperial measures (L1-2) – I’m not expecting students to know or learn these facts but this poster makes a useful discussion prompt (about the difficulties of working with Imperial measures and how much easier it is to use metric units) and also includes interesting facts about the history of Imperial units.
Pictogram activities with clear overview and examples, followed by three tasks including food and car parks. Makes a great introduction to Entry 3 data handling.
