Bastille Day July 14 Team quiz with a Newsticker Scrolling Text

[Mark Purves]

Hi

 

I knicked the powerpoint for this from the MFL resources forum but have no idea who the original contributor was so if it was you, THANKS!

 

Here is the link to the zip file  http://www.4shared.com/file/_aQbbah2/BASTILLE_DAY.html

Contains full backing track of the Marseillaise and also a clip of just the first 2 lines

 

I did this yesterday with a yr 3 class and a yr 4. Although the quiz is in English it provides you with a break, the kids really focus on reading the scrolling text, and it injects much historical and cultural background into your programme.

 

I changed the original powerpoint to include this scrolling text. You can use one of the slides as a template to create further quizzes of your own. If you are not sure how to do it, have a look at my blog site for a video explanation.

and a Christmas quiz with the same idea

It's simple trick when you know how but radically changes the level of concentration children will apply to reading information from the screen.

 

Have fun
