This pack of EAL resources for KS3 and KS4 learners supports them in learning about DNA, its structure and how genes determine human characteristics while simultaneously developing their ability to distinguish between active and passive voice and use them accordingly.

What's included

  • Flashcards and bingo to build vocabulary and communication
  • Gap-fill and rewriting exercises for active and passive voice with DNA
  • First language support for understanding and learning

This pack of resources uses a number of effective EAL strategies to support learners using EAL: there are flashcards with images, a bingo game to promote meaningful communication, a gap-fill activity and an activity asking learners to rewrite sentences about DNA and its structure to change them between passive and active voice. There are also numerous opportunities for learners to use their first language.
