This is a knowledge organiser I have created for my A-Levels students on the topic of family. We use Edexcel and we study this topic only for Spain, so there are no references to Hispanic America. However, the resource is editable.

La influencia de la Iglesia Católica en el concepto de familia tradicional.
El declive de la tasa de natalidad y sus consecuencias.
La evolución de las familias espanolas en la actualidad.
Algunos retos sociales que enfrentan las familias espanolas.
El papel de los mayores (abuelos) en la familia.
On the other side of the document students will find a total of 11 activities that they need to complete. All answers are included
