How to use this resource

This versatile resource works brilliantly as a complete lesson or can be broken down into individual components across multiple sessions. Begin with vocabulary exploration, then progress to the translation exercises, before addressing the reading texts. For mixed-ability classes, the challenges provide perfect extension work for faster learners while others complete the core exercises.

The authentic texts featuring diverse family structures prompt excellent cultural discussions and comparisons with British family models. This resource is particularly valuable during Pride Month or LGBTQ+ History Month, when highlighting diverse family structures and inclusive language is especially relevant.
