A side quest of our Madrid trip was photographing street signs with accessible language ranging from easy to hard. The result is this resource! This was inspired by a similar resource by @MrFrancisMFL who created a Bilbao version a few years ago! Ideal for a pre or post-Madrid trip lesson for those trip attendees and those who didn’t make it.

After a big success last year I am sharing my GCSE Speaking Toolkit. This Powerpoint contains an introduction to the WJEC Unit 1 speaking exam, working memory and six functional chunks along with usability conditions, worked examples, translations, valid alternatives and what the chunk seeks to achieve (references to the past, present, future, subjunctive, easy idioms etc). I made this due to post-mock analysis revealing a lack of complex structures and now introduce it early in the GCSE. This year I have added some AI suggestions which students may add to the original six.

This follows a lesson on an introduction to social issues and an explicit lesson on the present subjunctive with opinion triggers. The latter taken from my GCSE grammar workbook.

Match up and talk about the social issues, use the diamond 9 rank to get a discussion going. Talk through any which students are unaware of. Categrosie them. Are they local, national or global issues. Match up the solutions on page 2. Explain hace falta plus infinitive as to suggest something needs to be done. Move onto the present subjunctive, model and practise on MWBs. Complete the pages from the GCSE grammar workbook on the opinions section of the present subjunctive.

Including some high-frequence connectives, time phrases amongst others

A rather tricky task putting together a family tree based off of people’s explanations of how they are related to Nuria. A vocab bank on page 2 will help. Write the name of each family member in the box on the tree (or beside). Colour code the box according to male/female. Some boxes will not be filled. A perfect task before moving onto creating your own family trees. Note: Some family vocabuary has been left out of the box on page 2. Going over step-parents and siblings will be essential.

This took surprisingly long to make. A combination of Illustrator and Indesign. I really hope it works. I’m planning to teach compass points on the whiteboard and follow up with this resource. Students will have to read the statements and write the correct cities under the correct dots. Some cities have already been given to act as reference points and these are marked with a pin symbol.

Ideal for GCSE and AS level. There’s a focus on the difference between the future simple and near future.
