KS3 Spanish Cover Lesson Design your own Monster

Lesson covers: works best as a cover lesson. It is easy for non-specialists to follow but supports and challenges KS3 students of Spanish well. Could also be adapted for use in lessons by specialists in order to introduce / revise adjectives / body parts. All activities are differentiated.

Lesson involves: Differentiated objectives and starter activity (translations).
Activity 1: Team work to look up adjectives and parts of the body so they can describe / create their monster in final activity. Words are displayed in Spanish and students use dictionaries to translate them. Challenge included on ppt. Next slide gives answers to students so they can write down whatever they were unable to find.
Activity 2: Differentiated translation task using key vocabulary they have just looked up in teams. Key words provided as well as higher challenge. Next slide contains answers for peer / self-assessment.
Main activity 3 'apply' task: students design their own monster. Again, this is differentiated by task with key works provided on ppt.
Pyramid review to finish.
