First of 2 lessons on the imperfect tense. The lesson begins with an easy and well scaffolded wordsnake starter activity to get the pupils settled and engaged with the lesson. An extra/challenge is provided for higher achievers. Following this the imperfect tense is presented and explained (when to use it, how it is in English, how to form it). The lesson goes on with a well scaffolded practice on how to form the imperfect tense (students can use mini whiteboards for this task) and it ends with a Kahoot created by me.

A lesson based around Dia de Muertos and other traditional festivals of the Spanish speaking world. It includes a fun and captivating video on Dia de Muertos, a listening+reading task based on it, and a super engaging running dictation again based on Dia de Muertos! My class loved this running dictation and even the challenging pupils took part and tried their best. For the running dictation text, open the Word document, print it as many times as needed, and display it around the classroom allowing for enough space so the pupils need to get up and walk towards it to read it - it won’t work well if they can read it from their desks. Other slides include another listening+reading task about curious Spanish festivals - this task is a good revision for the present tense (focusing on ‘nosotros’ y ‘ellos/as’.

A few slides that can be added to a lesson on music instruments with an explanation of how to use ‘‘prefiero a’’. Activities include a fill the gap task, a text translation task, a well scaffolded speaking task, and a quiz.

A full lesson on films, mejor/peor, and discussing whether it’s better to watch films at home (peli y manta) or go to the cinema. The lesson begins with an odd-one-out settling task, where pupils have to identify words that they might already know, or use a dictionary, and choose the one that doesn’t belong in the group. Once the pupils are settled and concentrated, the lesson moves on to a vocabulary presentation on film genres, with breaking-up tasks to help the pupils memorise these new words. Following is a match-up task on adjectives that are commonly used to talk about films. Again, the pupils can use a dictionary if needed or try to work out the translations independently or in pairs. The pupils can then complete a reading and matching-up task, where they will encounter even more adjectives and have to find the correct translation. Following this, there is a brief grammar presentation of mejor/peor, lo mejor/lo peor, and an unjumble the sentences (with a challenge) exercise so the pupils can apply their new knowledge. Finally, there is a cultural tip slide on the concept of peli y manta, and a slide to allow for a class discussion of peli y manta VS cinema.

A full lesson based around foods introducing the passive form. The lesson includes a recap slide to get the pupils thinking about food vocabulary and quantities while the class settles. It continues with a fun video on traditional Spanish food; the students have to answer 3 questions based on the video. Following is a slide on tips for tackling reading tasks, and a reading tasks that the pupils will work on independently on in pairs. This text includes the passive form which is then clearly explained in the next slides, including a recap of the present tense of ser and how to form past participles. Now that the pupils should be able to recognise the passive form, they are asked to do so with the previous reading task’s text. Following this, they will tackle some Spanish to English translations (and an English to Spanish one for higher achievers) to put their skills to the test. The finally activity is a speaking/writing task to get the pupils talking about their favourite food without mentioning the name; the classmates will have to guess which food it is.
