High scoring structures for AQA GCSE Spanish Foundation students

A single A4-size reference grid / crib sheet for AQA GCSE Spanish Foundation students to refer to in order to inject a variety of impressive grammatical structures into their written and spoken work without needing to understand the grammar itself. It includes more unusual expressions of opinion, ready-made and generic reasons which can be used to justify a range of positive and negative opinions, some pre-built subjunctive phrases as well as a reminder of other high-scoring structures and a recap of regular endings of the key verb tenses. I gave my Foundation students two copies of this document at the beginning of Year 10 (one for their folders and one for their bedroom walls). It became known as their ‘wow phrase’ sheet and was well used in lessons and at home for homework / revision as it made ‘fancy’ grammar accessible.
