2027 Year 11 Italian composite · Term 1 Weeks 1A and 2B (29 January to 12 February)
Weeks 1A and 2B, lesson by lesson
A sample for the class teacher to check. It shows how each week could run with both courses in one room.
Each week has its own focus. Week 1A has four single periods of 55 minutes. Week 2B has three single periods and the double (Lessons 8 and 9). The day each lesson falls on waits for the 2027 timetable.
How a single lesson runs
| Minutes | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| 0–7 | Together | Shared warm-up on the same theme. Beginners answer with one line, Continuers add a reason or a detail. |
| 7–27 | Beginners with the teacher | Continuers work on their own lesson page, with headphones. |
| 27–47 | Continuers with the teacher | Beginners work on their own lesson page, with headphones. |
| 47–55 | Together | Answers on the screen, exit ticket, what comes next. |
Each course has a student page for the time on its own and slides for the time with the teacher. Lesson notes give the plan for both courses, lesson by lesson.

What to check
- Italian written for this plan: word lists, model sentences, the two Continuers readings and the Beginners model note.
- Whether the timing split suits the class, and which group should have the teacher first.
- Which booklet pages go with each lesson. The notes name the booklet section only.
- The listening items are from HSC 2017, 2018 and 2020, with the official recordings and marking-guideline answers.
This sample stays on the teacher’s computer. It is not on any website: it holds HSC recordings and Italian that has not been checked yet.
