This is a very short post, but packed full of free resources.
I made a TaskMagic3 Mix&Gap file based on a news story from BBC Afrique.
I printed out the worksheets as pdf documents using doPDF - http://www.dopdf.com
On this occasion I've converted the 9 pdf worksheets into 1 pdf file using MergePDF - http://foxyutils.com/mergepdf/#
See below. Simply scroll through the pdf file to access the various printable activities. The activities are:
1. Find the French
2. 1 in 3
3. 8 Tiles
4. 15 Tiles
5. 24 Tiles
6. Gap-fill (with word list)
7. Long gaps (clause or sentence gaps)
8. Prompt gaps (no word list, but prompt for each gap)
9. Context gaps (no word list - only one possible answer)
The Mix&Gap file, from which the pdfs were printed, provides access to 18 interactive exercises.
See http://www.mdlsoft.co.uk/mixandgap.htm for more information about the interactive exercises created in the Mix&Gap component of TaskMagic3. If you already have TaskMagic3, click here to access the above file. If not, you can get a trial download from http://www.mdlsoft.co.uk/trialdownloads.htm
