Boletín is a weekly A Level Spanish newsletter. Every uniquely designed edition includes three topical texts, a vocabulary search and an A Level exam style question. Apologies in advance that upon downloading the latest edition you’ll see that every prior edition also downloads. At the time of creation TES allowed users to pick and choose which files they could download, this feature has since been removed.

A new overhauled version of this resource is now available here. It covers every single grammar point from the AQA, Edexecel and WJEC specifications and is designed for classroom and independent study.

A booklet ideal for GCSE French revision, transition or in class teaching. A page per grammar point with two practice exercises per grammar item. This is an editable PDF meaning when opened with Adobe Reader students will be able to write their answers in the boxes provided and save and send to you. If you have any issues let us know. A massive thank you to @saraherowland for teaching herself InDesign just to get the French down for this edition!

This is a parallel reader of Lorca’s La Casa de Bernarda Alba complete with an index at the back. The English translations is open-access via Poetry in Translation and A. S. Kline. All design is by myself.

A booklet with thematic pages full of IRP ideas as well as linked similar issues. Structured research pages, a vocabulary section and a 2-minute speech draft section. All editable PDFs.

This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession. This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD. The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings. Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this. All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design. Ollie

Inspired by Ousmar Uman’s story and can’t wait to share it with my year 13s. There’s so much that can be done with this transcript that I’ve kept it simple. I am aware there are some errors in the transcription but it reflects what was said by Ousmar Uman and imo any attempt to correct his Spanish would be distasteful. The opportunity is there though to have that conversation with your students if you happen to find one.

This is a cleaned up version combining two resources I use every year but which are one separate documents over a combined 4 pages. One of those was from AQA and the other I’m not sure despite searching on TES. With this resource students will have support for writing about theme, character, plot, quotes, context and more all on one page. This is a free resource but I have two premium bundles; one on Volver and one on La Casa de Bernarda Alba. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-grammar-translation-quotes-theme-index-12048901 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/volver-bundle-12175732

A booklet with texts in Spanish and English from a range of sources on: 1898 Gitanos America Sexuality Barraca Death Icon Franco The booklet contains a timeline for students to fill as they read through and questions at the back with a vocabulary search as well. Massive thanks to Blanca for creating the text on the ‘icon’ page and Samantha for helping with sourcing texts on some of the other pages. This was designed to precede and tie in with the parallel text available for free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-parallel-text-12273514 Bundle available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-grammar-translation-quotes-theme-index-12048901

I’ve designed this to work in conjunction with the GCSE writing mat and the GCSE teacher/student booklet (in particular the list of 108 verbs on the last page). The only thing required from you is to decide which tenses you are working with and crack on. You may come up with your own ideas to incentivise students’ work.

This Spanish Grammar Workbook covers every grammar point from main exam board specifications and goes beyond as well! It is my attempt at distilling everything into one workbook which will last the entire GCSE course (potentially starting in as early as year 7/8 and lasting into year 12). The workbook is designed to be used both in the classroom and at home and assumes zero/little prior knowledge, I often use it for feedback and providing interventions. A print version is available on Amazon! All answers included, please leave a review!

Small series of lessons including a sentence builder with the three main eating verbs (desyunar, almorzar and cenar) as well as other less common eating verbs. A starter on adjectival agreement, a speaking focused lesson using Conti style activities including a pyramid speaking and sentence stealer game and finally a reading focused lesson focused on skimming/scanning and locating information. Edit: corrected some typos

Three quotes from a small booklet produced by the University of Granada in 1981 all about Lorca’s three tragedies. T = Translate E = Evidence from text to support the claim

A retrieval style grid inspired by a WJEC CPD exemplar I saw posted in 2018. Call out a coordinate, give students 1/2 minutes to formulate a response on MWBs. Potentially a good AfL activity.
