Here's an idea for a fun starter or bell activity for the 6th form (or able KS4):
I want to call it: WTF (as in "What's the French?" or "Weirdly translated French" or even "Wow, that's funny") but it seems that that acronym is already taken.
So it has no name.
Yet.
If you follow me on twitter, you'll have seen me posting strange translations form my younger students who "didn't use google translate, honest".
So this is the game: give a strange translation to the 6th formers (advanced level students),
get them to work out what it should have said,
and then get them to correct it.
Today they quickly managed to work out that "je voudrais un pièce gare quatre" was actually "I would like a play station 4".
They also uinderstood that "noir piscine" was "Blackpool", too.
It's a lot of fun and a great way to get them to think.
