Extracts from the SAMs from AQA with the mark scheme to help staff and pupils understand the new success criteria for AQA Spanish GCSE, first teaching Sep 2016.

Presentation, exemplar texts and worksheet. Useful as a controlled assessment speaking or writing exam preparation activity, and also for reading comprehension practice. Designed for persistent D graders, who could work at a C, but just cannot make the connection. Extensive presentation with notes and suggestions of how to deliver. For candidates aiming for all grades from C upwards, as you can get them to consider how to enhance the texts /improve the grade. This could cover at least 3 lessons, possible more, as it build pupils up through basic to more complex opinions, with a review of how to use verbs (in the present tense) along the way. Designed for my bordering D/C pupils.

To go with Unit 1 of Module 6, Mira 2, introducing things to do in Barcelona, and reviewing opinion verb phrases. Good for the listening and also a Speaking / Writing activity.

This is a resource designed to be used independently, for revision, or in a class setting. It is ideal for extended cover or to set a revision / exam preparation resource. Though I have labelled it AQA, it is not specific to an exam board. However, I have included specific references to AQA and Edexcel (i.e. their themes and topics) and so can be edited to be exam board specific. It starts at target grade 1 and build to target grade 7 and so can be edited or kept the way I have designed it for crossover / boderline students or students who are currently at foundation level but are capable of higher - I have designed it for my own students in this situation. This makes it suitable for a mixed ability class also.

Designed for last-minute re-sits, where pupils must work quickly and independently. Contains sentence starters and vocabulary to build a piece up to A grade.
