Mi colegio (School)
A whole unit of work to teach the topic of school to Year 7 students.
The Notebook presentation (44 slides) covers the following areas:
- school subjects
- opinions
- adjectives and
- timetable and the time
- school facilities
- general information about school
- school uniform
The grammar focus is on agreement of adjectives, opinions in the past and "hay" and "no hay".
All supported with 11 worksheets, including a writing frame summarising the whole topic.
Update: I have now included a PowerPoint version of the main file, converted from the original Notebook file. I recommend whenever possible to use the original version, as the file conversion has changed the layout of some slides and some features work less effectively on Power Point.

Nine worksheets to help teachers provide their students with an overview of the new Spanish GCSE course, an overview of the speaking and the writing exams (both at foundation and higher level) and four sheets to provide the students with immediate, personalised feedback for their mock or practice speaking and writing papers.
UPDATE: the feedback sheets now include the 2018 grade boundaries, to make it easier for teachers to estimate a grade.

The aim of presenting the cards like this is to provide the students with a lot of ideas on what to say about the theme, as well as making them more aware that they always have to discuss the information printed on the card (AO2 and AO4).
Each section is followed by around 20 questions for the students to research / discuss the topic further.

Bundle
New Spanish GCSE - Writing support bundle. Perfect for home learning.
This bundle includes four resources to support Spanish GCSE students prepare for their writing exam:
Vocabulary booklet: a booklet with a lot of key vocabulary for each theme and topic of the new GCSE course, as well as a summary of the key exam rubrics and useful expressions.
Grammar booklet: this resource includes in fact two different versions of the same booklet (one of them an abridged version of the other one) that provide a very detailed overview of the key aspects of the grammar covered in the GCSE course, with plenty of examples and activities for the students.
90-word and 150-word question booklets: these two resources (one of them a TES PICK resource) contain twenty four questions each that follow the format of the 90-word and the 150-word questions in the new Spanish GCSE writing exam. They cover all three themes of the AQA specification, but can be easily adapted to other exam boards. In each booklet there are eight questions for each theme, and they can be used in lessons, but also as an easy way to set useful homework activities for the students.
Complex structures guide, to encourage stronger candidates to work independently to include more ambitious structures in their written work.
Cuando era pequeño (opinions in different tenses in Spanish)
I find this the single more useful worksheet I have written. It is a simple template to write an extended sentence about how opinons havechanged (When I was little I liked... because it was..., but now...). I have been using it with all my Spanish groups (7-11) in the last couple of years, insisting that they always use the structure in their written and oral work, and by doing this they automatically include two tenses, a variety of connectives and adjectives and opinions in all their work.
I have also included two further resources as examples of how I've been using it.
