Spanish Foundation GCSE family & friends photo card practice

A series of lesson activities to help students to prepare for the Spanish GCSE speaking foundation photo card ‘family and friends’ topic. It contains a mixture of different activities such as a ‘brainstorm’ type of activity with prompt pictures and words and phrases. It also contains the photo that will appear in the card activity with a series of questions that students should think about and discuss in pairs before sharing with the class. There is also an ‘Improve these sentences’ slide with the purpose of encouraging students to develop answers with details such as higher level opinion phrases and reasons for their opinions. If desired, the speaking mat should be given either to all students for this activity for those students who need it (as differentiated support). The PowerPoint also contains a sample conversation with sound file of a native speaker recording with answers that would gain good marks at foundation level.
