Trying to develop subject knowledge on an unfamiliar topic I have combined information gleaned from a research paper titled Las aportaciones positivas de la inmigración : miradas desde Andalucía and the widely referenced 1955 study* by UNESCO. The result is this resource containing 35 verbs with a matching up task of important verbs and the pirate game. The Andalusian report containts many accounts from immigrants in Spain which I will use as readings. We did a diamond 9 rank activity which I’ll follow up with a speaking and maybe some kind of classification of the benefits into categories (economic, societal, local etc) Will possibly follow up with a reading on public opinion and response writing: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/opini-n-p-blica-sobre-la-inmigraci-n-12582405

Gist translate the quote from Zafon Translate vocabulary from exercise 1 Create a mind-map of Almodóvar’s likes/dislikes/influences etc based on Volver

A back from half-term resource to remind students of Lorca’s personal context and get them searching for truth in fiction.

This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession. This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD. The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings. Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this. All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design. Ollie
