This is an extract of a PP I have created with 19 gap graded exercises in preparation for Paper 1.
The full PP has 5 exercises with single sentences to introduce Y12 to this type of challenging exercises. This is followed by 14 graded exercises of various difficulties leading to the final exam.
The exercises are varied in literary text, including one or two non-fiction, linked to the topics of the specification. They test a great variety of grammar traps such as pronouns, por/para, tenses, accents, etc.

Reading activity with selective information on the people and events that influenced Picasso. it can be used for further discussion, revision of tenses, research,etc.
I hope you find it useful and this encourages you to share your resources as we have very little in TES under the topic A Level Spanish - Culture.
I've devised this PPP with questions on Picasso (AQA An artist and his work, focusing on Guernica). I am using the PPP sitting two students at the computer and asking each other the questions in turns. I am sure you can think on how to explote it in all sort of ways.
Any comments welcome.

Cut the statements individually and place facing down. Students take it in turns to talk about each statement for a set time.

This is a one page compendium of on line activities to keep Y13 working in preparation for a degree linked to Hispanic Studies. They can also be issued for Y12, summer work.
The activities are varied, including on line courses, articles, videos, radio programmes and podcasts. Some of topics are: working as a translator for a controversial political figure, philosophy, the arts, legalization of drugs, etc.
They are geared towards independent learning, no input from the teacher.
Students will be able to keep their skills alive whilst extending their learning following their completion of the AS/A Level course. For Y12, it would be a clever addition to their UCAS portfolio.
I KINDLY ASK THAT YOU RESPECT COPYRIGHT, I HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME DOING THIS.

Reading activity, where students have to recreate a table consisting of symbols (animals, people or objects) identified in the painting, their description, and what they might represent / how they have been interpreted.
Table can be cut in pieces and students glue to piece of paper - makes it more fun, I think!
