This is a template for a multiple-choice lesson activity (could be used as a starter or plenary, or a short recap exercise). I have included examples of how I have used it in the past with Spanish, in a gap-fill style to consolidate vocab previously learned. You could keep the gap-fill aspect or get rid of it and just put questions.

This could be a starter but could also take up a whole lesson - students are encouraged to compare Julieta’s two male partners and consider how they contrast. You can give them pointers to help them eg. physical appearance, qualities, type of job, background etc. and get them to consider who Julieta was better off with and why, what the director wants us to think of each of them and the overall messages.

Some brief teacher notes about the style and genres of Almodovar’s Julieta - you could use these to generate questions for discussion for your pupils, or you could create some translations into Spanish / give them a short lecture in Spanish on these points.

1-2 pages of notes for teachers to use to teach students about the different settings used in Almodovar’s Julieta - you could use these notes to create questions adapted to your students to prompt discussion, or ask them questions relating to this before watching a section of the film.

Worksheet with activities (answers included) about how Almodovar explores the theme of death in the film Julieta. You could introduce some of the vocab before doing the worksheet, or give students questions to discuss orally in Spanish regarding the ideas in the texts.

Teacher notes in English on all of the scenes of Julieta by Almodovar - roughly 1 page per scene. You can use these notes to create your own questions in Spanish to get students to analyse the scenes. For example, you could get them to watch a scene for homework and then ask questions on it pertaining to different aspects of the scene eg. describe the music used here, what is the impact? why is there a close-up of x? what could it symbolise? etc. how is Xoan dressed? what does his appearance tell us about him?

A handout that teachers can use to teach key points on Julieta’s narrative structure. You can use this to create a worksheet, some translations, or create questions adapted to your students.

A worksheet containing bullet points to encourage discussion about the main aspects of techniques used in Almodovar’s Julieta. The points are there to prompt student reflection on each technique and how they are used. The discussion can also be enriched by then going into more depth and detail on each point - other resources are available on this eg.

A page of notes on the use of music, camerwork and symbolism in Almodovar’s Julieta for students studying the film. The notes could be used to create questions to prompt students to discuss use of these techniques, or as a basis for some translations.

Notes for teachers to use to teach students about the use of colours, lighting and voice-over technique in Almodovar’s Julieta. Notes can be used to generate questions for students to discuss or to create translations etc.

A worksheet with a variety of language activities (gap-fill, translation, broken sentences) and comprehension questions to help students understand how the different settings used in Almodovar’s Julieta help reflect different moods and memories. Answers included.

2 pages of questions, several per scene of the film Julieta, by Almodovar, for students studying the film. The questions can be used for oral discussion in class, or, students could choose some of the above points to develop in writing for homework / or you could put them into Spanish and have students write answers in Spanish. The scene timings refer to the ‘scenes guide’ I have created free on a separate document: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/julieta-almod-var-scenes-guide-with-images-12169302

A multiple-choice ‘this or that’ listening activity with images of different rooms in the house and vocab for teacher to use for the activity. You can read more about ‘this or that’ listening tasks here if you scroll down to no. 3 https://mflclassroommagic.com/2019/08/05/quizlet/

A very simple, low-prep listening task for French - once pupils are quite familiar with the vocab on prepositions, rooms in the house and items of furniture, you can do this fun sorting task. You can either prepare a list of vocab in advance or just do it off the cuff as I do - read out a short list of vocab items that fit into one of the categories, and pupils write the number in the correct column. eg. if you say ‘Numero 1, la buanderie’ pupils write ‘1’ under ‘places in the house’ etc. you could then do a recall task after marking it where pupils have to make a list of the words in French that were mentioned in each category!

A 2-page text of bullet points in Spanish regarding the context of Julieta by Almodovar. You could read the text aloud in class and do some oral questions for comprehension, or give it as homework for students to study / translate parts of / summarise in Spanish in their own words.

A very simple reading or listening activity for learning about the pros and cons of living in the town / country. Pupils will need to be familiar with most of the vocab in these sentences before doing this activity. You can either project some of the sentences onto the board and have students read them aloud in pairs, then say whether it’s a pro or con, or you can do it as a listening - select perhaps 8-10 of the sentences. Say each one in a random order, and pupils note on miniboards / scrap paper if i’ts a pro or a con. You could follow up with a ‘vocab hunt’ - write a list of English words on the board that appear in these sentences and pupils have to find the vocab.

A selection of interactive vocab activities to completed orally in pairs, answers included. For talking about the transport in your town.

A vocab-sorting task on vocab for types of TV shows, opinion phrases and justifications - display on the board, students read each phrase in pairs and decide which column it goes under. A ‘sondage’ survey speaking task - display the corrected vocab in the columns on the board from the first activity, and the students complete the sondage with people going round the room, using the vocab on the board to help.
