A worksheet to teach chunks of language relating to special occasions / birthdays / celebrations with perfect tense verbs. Includes a short listening exercise, a jumble / unscramble exercise, missing letters exercise and speaking / oral exercise. Instructions for teacher included.
For students studying Julieta by Almodovar - 8 questions. You could get each student to choose 1 question to discuss in pairs and develop during a lesson after watching the film, or set it as a homework task to complete whilst watching the film. Students can develop some bullet point notes in Spanish in response. The idea is to get them to explore the questions in as much detail and depth as possible and to consider some of the main themes of the film that these questions elicit.
Qué personaje es quiz on the characters of Julieta by Almodovar - can be done as a listening comprehension activity where you say the sentences, students listen and write the answer, or as reading / oral discussion in pairs. Follows on well from an activity that has introduced the main characters, or after watching the film eg. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/los-personajes-principales-de-julieta-almod-var-worksheet-12168483
