A super, complete E2-E3 lesson plan (and resources) originally written for e2e students looking at healthy eating, but great for any group. The lesson plan pays particular attention to equality and diversity.
Includes detailed plan, quiz answer sheet, illustrated fill-in tables and adjective ideas. You will need a selection of exotic fruit and also, if following the entire lesson plan, our Describing Foods resource (see below).
A Beginners / Entry 1 level set of activities to introduce and practise using adjectives within the theme of travel.
Practise vocabulary, antonyms, spelling, sentence structure and handwriting.
Editor's note
Although written for ESOL most parts of this resource are also very suitable for E1-2 Functional English. In addition to the many tasks it also provides a short overview of adjectives and basic sentence structure . Great for the build up to summer holidays - or indeed any time of year!

I used these for Construction students revising for their Building Principles exam. They were struggling with the calculation questions so I wrote some examples to work through with them. They would also be useful for examples of FS Level 1 work.
Editor's Notes
Very useful and, just as Jacqui says, also ideal for L1-2 Functional Skills Maths. 5 clear examples covering area, perimeter, volume and multi-step problem solving.

Editor's note
