Manolito Gafotas

Celebrating World Book Day through a Spanish book.

Manolito Gafotas is one of the most important and well-knows for young people in Spain.

It was written by Elvira Lindo in 1994.

The following presentation is prepared to immerse students in the world of Manolito Gafotas with a range of activities aimed to Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, and Key Stage 5.

A few things to take into account:

• Slide 11 is prepared only for Year 10, Year 11, Year 12, and Year 13. It is listening based on an extract from the book.
• Slide 12 is meant to be for Key Stage 3 as it is a scaffolded written.
• Slide 13 is a writing for Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.

The rest of the activities are accessible to all levels but Year 7 as they lack the level of vocabulary required although they could infer the meaning of most words in most activities.

At the end there is a trailer of the movie with English subtitles.
