Bring some fun to Year 11 lessons at Easter time! Semana Santa tasks include word puzzles, reading and writing plus Easter cards to create. Vocabulary includes Spanish Easter words, opinions plus much more so that the resource can work alongside your everyday teaching.
Being the last packet of five, the tasks are less supported and more independent input is expected of learners! (e.g. open-ended writing tasks)
This resource works well because
☛ it’s a flexible 11 page learning booklet for your Year 10s to learn vocabulary for Easter in Spanish.
☛ it’s a really engaging work packet which will liven up any Spanish lesson.
☛ the booklet could be used for
in-person printables
distance learning
starter tasks
homework
cover lessons
☛ it’s low or even no prep’ for you
☛ it can run alongside what learners are already doing to aid reading and deciphering skills e.g. photo description
☛ a bilingual vocabulary list included and answer pages where appropriate.
☛ a black and white version is also included
Vocabulary really is comprehensive in case learners are unable to look up words easily, so you may wish to remove this section if you prefer a more difficult work booklet!
Booklets are flattened to protect my work and that of others within the resource and are un-editable.
