The TaskMagic Blog

Loads of pdf worksheets below, all based on one simple Spanish dialogue - ordering an ice-cream.

These were created in the following way.

1. I typed a dialogue into the Dialogues editor in TaskMagic3.

2. I created a Find the Spanish exercise in addition to the exercises created automatically.

3. I printed out my worksheets from within Dialogues (using doPDF).

Line Jumble:

Half Lines:

Gap 3/3:

Spaces:

Anagrams:

Find the Spanish:

4. I exported the data from my Find the Spanish exercise as a Text Match file.

5. I opened the Text Match editor...

6. ...and printed various worksheets based on the vocab from the dialogue.

Matching:

Write the Spanish:

Dominoes:

Snake:

Snake Solution:

7. I opened the Dialogue file again and exported the dialogue as a Mix and Gap file.

8. In the Mix and Gap editor I created a few extra gap-fill exercises, in addition to the exercises created automatically, and disabled some of the exercise types.

9. I printed out various worksheets from Mix and Gap.

Gap-fill (with word list):

Write Gaps (no list provided):

Multi Gaps (multi-choice gap fill):

Long Gaps (in this case, each gap is a whole line):

So, a few simple steps to produce all of these results, all based on one simple dialogue.

And as well as the above worksheets, which are more of a bonus rather than the main point of TaskMagic, we also get the 3 TaskMagic3 files:
