Transform your language lessons with this engaging and effective 5-slide
Retrieval Practice PowerPoint pack! Designed with:
Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) in mind, these ready-to-use and fully editable activities promote active recall and boost long-term memory for vocabulary, grammar, and key concepts. While showcasing examples for:
French, the versatile templates are easily adaptable for any language or even other subjects!
What’s Included in this 5-Slide Pack:
Slide 1: Cops and Robbers (KS3 adaptable) - A collaborative activity where students first recall their own knowledge (“COPS” box) and then “steal” (add) information from peers (“ROBBERS” box) , culminating in a summary task.
Slide 2: 3, 2, 1 Challenge - A quickfire plenary or starter activity prompting students to “Name 3…” , “Translate 2 sentences…” (editable for any task), and “Write 1 sentence about…”.
Slide 3: Memory Path (Collaborative Recall) - An interactive visual task where students recall information by navigating a “path,” ideal for partner or group work, and easily adaptable to any topic.
Slide 4: Retrieval Relay Race - A competitive team-based activity where groups recall and share as much non-repeated knowledge as possible within set time limits.
Slide 5: Open-Ended Retrieval Prompt - (Based on the last slide, which seems to be a template or end slide from a previous resource, I’m inferring it’s a flexible space for a final retrieval task.) This slide serves as a flexible template for your own tailored retrieval questions or a whole-class discussion prompt.
