AQA 1.1 - Relationships with family - the generation gap

This is a well differentiated, worksheet based resource comprising 7 worksheets and 2 ppts which have the answers to the worksheet exercises. It is based on pp.20 and 21 of AQA Spanish, Oxford University Press, Relaciones con la familia.

Your students will learn how to …

1. understand texts which talk about the generation gap
2. use key vocabulary relating to this topic
3. use más … que, menos … que and tanto/a/os/as … como
4. use hace + a time to express ‘ago’
5. use hay and había accurately
6. use en vez de + infinitive with debo, debería, quiero and prefiero
7. translate texts about this topic into and from Spanish

I have included a speaking task to do in pairs to practise ‘en vez de … debería …’ and there is a crossword puzzle, with clues in Spanish, which is great for reading comprehension.

As well as being suitable for GCSE students, I think this resource could also be used as an introduction to the topic of family relations at A Level.

I have included a ppt. with answers to most of the exercises on practice sheets 1-5 so that teachers can discuss and explain grammar points, sentence structure etc. with students.

The worksheets have been meticulously designed and are at least as nicely presented as any resource you might buy from a respectable publisher. Please don’t be put off by the preview image which at times looks distorted (due, I think, to the inclusion of tables/grids); the actual resource looks so much nicer when downloaded.
