This is an editable Word booklet designed to introduce key stage 5 students to García Márquez (in preparation for studying Crónica) focusing on the opening lines of some of his most famous books, an extract of his Nobel acceptance speech, an obituary published in the Observer and a review of Crónica published in the London Review of Books by Salman Rushdie. There are some exercises for students to do to prove they have read these texts, but it is primarily an exercise in reading.

This is an editable Word document designed to help prepare students for the literature question in the new GCSE. It contains ten extracts from writers including Darío, Machado, Neruda, García Márquez, with accompanying questions. The exercises cover a range of question type (comprehension questions in English and Spanish, T/F/NM, tick the correct sentences). One version is questions only, the other includes the answers. The level of difficulty is high - I created this as I could not find much like it aside from the £60 packs from certain publishers. I hope you find this useful.

This worksheet comprises seven exercises with instructions in English. Exercises include: naming genres of films; describing personal preferences and those of friends/family; cloze reading exercises; translation exercises and a wordsearch. I made it for use with my year 7 students who have had one year of Spanish, but it is also suitable for year 8 or 9 students. Answers are included on a separate pdf.
