Differentiated learning objectives :1.
To be able to describe a typical holdiay. This can be totally made up and can be in this
country or abroad. Use present tense to describe where you normally go, what you
normally do, how you get there, where you stay. You could choose a celebrity and
research where they normally go and use this person instead of yourself. (Levels 4c –
4a)
2. To be able to describe a past holiday (real or imaginary) Use the past tense to say where
you went, where you stayed, what you did, what the weather was like. Use a range of
expressions and description – include pictures if possible.
(Levels 4c – 5a)
3. To be able to describe an ideal holiday using the conditional tense. Imagine that you have
won the lottery and say where you would stay and what it would be like. Describe what
you would do there and who with. Use your imagination and research a place you would
really love to visit. Include pictures of this place in your project.
(Levels 5c – 6a)
4. To be able to describe a future holiday. Use the future tense to say where you will go
next year (Again this can be imaginary and doesn’t have to be real). You should now be
aiming to include four different time frames (present, past, future and conditional), and
adapting structures learnt to relate them to their personal research on another country
and include where you will go, when, who with, where you will stay.
(Levels 6/7 – exceptional performance)
Range of levels :The project ranges from levels 4 to exceptional performance, and all students are expected to
achieve at least a level 4, many will achieve a level 5 by including two different time frames,
some will go on to achieve a level 6 by including 3 different time frames and opinions. A few will
achieve exceptional performance by including more than 3 different time frames, and
undertaking independent research to allow them to apply their language knowledge to another
country or place that is unfamiliar to them.
Task :Over the course of 4 weeks students will produce a project and should aim to include the
following information as detailed as possible. The final version of the project will be collected in
week commencing 24/03/14. Students are free to use any format they wish to present the
