This is an all time favorite activity for the first week of the school year or even for after the holidays because children love sharing things about themselves!
This “All about me” (“Todo sobre mí”) worksheet is for Spanish or Heritage learners of all levels. Students fill out basic info about themselves and their favorites. There is a vocabulary activity that can be done prior to completing the sheet so that students are familiarised with some vocabulary beforehand. Answers are also included.
It can be used for:
First week for Spanish Y7, 8 or even 9
End of year for Spanish Y7, 8 or even 9
An after break ease-back-in day
Fun Friday
Easy Monday
EXTRA IDEA!
Bind the pages into a class book to share during circle time or in your classroom library. It can help your students to get to know each other during the first week of school!
Differentiating has never been easier with this easy-to-use and complete literacy mat!!
I created this resource because my weaker Y11’s were struggling to write a text in GCSE format. I decided to give them this literacy mat so they could use it as a sentence builder. Also, as I numbered the boxes, it was particularly useful for speaking tasks as I would ask them to pick and use structures from numbers (1, 2 and 3 for example) in order to support them learn and use the language routinely. If you are struggling to differentiate like I was this Spanish learning mat will support your weakest students to be more independent. It is an ideal resource for writing and speaking activities in your Spanish classes. It includes the following vocabulary:
idioms
opinions
negatives
advanced structures
some important verbs in preterit and future
connectives
key structures
time phrases
useful verb structures
comparisons
adjectives for opinions
This is the perfect resource for your KS4 Spanish lessons!
