[To be completed after your Home Learning Booklet – please complete
under test conditions. Do not use your Subject Knowledge
Organiser.]
Mi insti
*Answers are at the back of this booklet so you can self-mark your
tests after you’ve finished. Then, identify areas you need to
revisit to
gain more confidence.
Guidance for completing MFL assessments:
The work inside this assessment booklet contains enough work to
cover (at least) the final 4 hours of lesson time you would have
had in this half-term, it is therefore expected that you spend a
similar amount of time completing the tasks. You can also complete
some additional using your subject knowledge organiser to aid your
preparation and/or green for growth. This work can be done in small
chunks and/or with regular breaks.
The assessments are based on activities/tasks from your lessons.
This means that there is nothing in your assessment that has not
been covered in class. There are instructions provided in English
for each task that you have to complete.
Below are some suggested timings for the assessments to help guide
you in managing your work:
- Grammar test = 1 hour (including green for growth tasks after
your test – mind maps
of key verb ending/opinions or using BBC Bitesize)
- Translation assessment = 1 hour (including marking &
correcting any errors)
- Reading assessment = 1 hour (including reading time/making notes
on your paper &
working out any unknown words/phrases)
- Writing assessment = 1 hour (including planning time & both
tests)
All answers to the assessments are attached at the back of this
booklet. This means that once you have completed your tests, you
can mark these yourself to see where you have made good progress
and which areas you may need to revise further.
Remember - you do not need to print out the work - you could just
read it on screen and work in an exercise book or on lined paper.
There are also printed copies of the booklets available to pick up
from school if you cannot access them on a screen.
Please complete this work by the deadline set on ClassCharts by
your teacher (this half-term ends on Friday 22nd May). After this,
you can use your assessments to guide your revision/green for
growth. For example, if you need to improve your grammatical
knowledge of the present tense after your grammar test, you may
want to create a mind map of verb endings or visit websites such as
BBC Bitesize.
If you have any questions about the work, please don't hesitate to
get in touch via the Contact page on the school website.
