KS4 Spanish: Las relaciones familiares (¿Te llevas bien con...?)

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPs. You could base a whole lesson around these resources (or set them for homework/revision).

Contains:

1. A slide with a ‘mosaic writing’ activity (credit to Gianfranco Conti for this idea):
   i.e. Pupils are given a short paragraph in English about family relationships and have to construct a Spanish translation from the words provided in the grid.

2. A worksheet with various tasks designed to build up/practise key vocabulary to do with this topic.
   The idea is that the gap-fill task can be completed purely by using words drawn from the first text - in other words, pupils are identifying and recycling the relevant language. Likewise the Translation sentences at the bottom can be done using vocabulary from elsewhere on the worksheet.

Ideas for further exploiting the worksheet
You can exploit the texts on the worksheet in other ways. E.g. spot the adjectives. Re-write one of the texts changing the underlined parts (teacher could project the texts onto board with some phrases underlined) to say something else, verbally or in writing e.g. alternative adjectives, different verbs, different family member words. Plenary with mini-whiteboard sentences to translate based purely on words and phrases from the text (or incorporating prior knowledge too for stronger classes). Reading texts aloud for pronunciation practice. Translate the first text. etc etc.
