GCSE Spanish world problems lesson- intro

GCSE Spanish lesson to introduce vocabulary for world problems. Suitable for middle to high ability group.

Includes images to introduce vocabulary e.g. el cambio climático, la guerra, el paro.

There is then a whole class team game to embed the vocabulary. Full instructions are on the slide. The slide on the board can be printed and handed out as a vocab sheet to glue into books.

There is then a pair game to model putting the vocabulary into high level opinion sentences e.g. pienso que el problema más grave hoy en día es el paro porque en mi opinión afecta a muchas personas. This game uses set phrases to build up their familiarity with the vocab.

The lesson then introduces the set phrases ‘lo que más/ menos me preocupa es…’ and there is a translation activity to practise this.
