SPANISH A LEVEL INTRO for literature study -Javier Marías short story-

(0)
These activities offer a rare and ideal opportunity to expose students to authentic, quality Spanish literature and the translation techniques required for A-level, all of which can be done in a sequence of no more than 2-3 lessons. En el viaje de novios is a (very) short story by Javier Marías that will hold students’ attention throughout, and the two extended activities that follow are pitched at exactly the right level for the A-level course, requiring vocabulary from the story and knowledge of a range of grammar points.

The best activity to cover some aspects of NEW TECHNOLOGIES with your GCSE class. A blank VLOGGER profile to fill in plus a full Spanish one on the powerpoint (it can also be a reading activity) as inspiration. It can be used at the end of the module as a way of revising HOBBIES and PAST TIMES. Quirky, fresh and cool for your students.

SPANISH A LEVEL FIRST YEAR RESEARCH QUESTION TASKS

EXCELLENT initiative to provide students with one question card per half term as homework to research and revisit the topics covered in class. Not only it gets them into the habit of researching and extending what they have learned independently, but also prepares them for the IRP in Y13. Easy to tweak as all are on UNPROTECTED word documents. Each card has 6 questions in Spanish translated in English underneath.
