UPDATED. Based on rockmonkey’s excellent Y12 Spanish Booklet, I have made my own version. This is for the old AQA but it has things that you might be wanted to use in the new. Please forget my plagiarism (particularly rockmonkey) but you inspired me! I suppose that is part of the game! I hope you find it useful.

A compilation of essay questions for the new AL1 and AL2. I have also included the questions from previous specs.

These are two model essays for La Casa, one on the main themes and the other on the character of Adela. They are an AL1 question but can easily be adated for AL2. I hope you find them useful.

List of phases based on the AQA Spanish syllabus translation English > Spanish. Use for games, quizes, etc. You will find this file in Quizlet, where your students can compete against each other. If you find this resource useful, please consider contribute to the Spanish post 16 TES bank, as we have so little. PLEASE NOTE THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN EDITED SINCE FIRST PUBLISHED. Enjoy!

A document containing notes on the main themes explored in the film. I gave this to my students before exploring examples. If you found this resource useful, please thank the community by uploading one of your own.

Three simple exercises to focus on symbolic characters, places and objects in the film. Answers included.

PPP with information from a great variety of resources. Details on El boom literario, biography, genre of the novel, content, techniques, and some sample essay and oral questions.

These are three versions of the same exercise on the director's cinematographic techniques. The idea is that you differentiate according to your students' needs. It should help students to revise vocabulary, grammar, sentence formation and the techniques themselves! Please browse my other resources in case if you find something useful. I have recently uploaded some materials for the new AS exam and will continue to do more. Follow me! Enjoy!

Here is a plan that I gave my students to write an essay on Adela. This is a model question for the new A Levels and I am teaching " La Casa de Bernarda Alba" in the first year. You can use it to help weak students, for peer writing, to write your own essay, etc. I hope it is useful. Please browse through my resources in TES for speaking cards and revision notes for the new A Level. I am sure you will find something useful for you and for your students.

Some quick reading exercises to learn about, revise or test basic knowledge of Spanish society In Lorca's time. The content has been adapted from Hodder's guide.

This is my 18-19 Scheme of Work for the first year of the new A level Spanish (from 2016). I enclose the document I give students too. I have also published the second year for free in TES. The grade boundaries breakdown is based on the 2018 exams. Please note I teach the book in the first year, to tie it up with the theme of gender equality.

This is a list of statements on the topic of Law and Order. Cut them individually and place in an envelope. Students take it in turns to argue for or against the statement. It is one of my many carousel activities during revision time.

Cut the statements individually and place facing down. Students take it in turns to talk about each statement for a set time. This is one of my revision carousel activities prior to speaking exam. Any comments welcome! Enjoy!

These are summary notes for the students taken from a variety of resources. There are also four activities to use these.

This is a simple starter activity that worked wonders with my students. At the beginning of the subtopic I showed them this slide with two contrasting photos. They had to think of ideas in pairs in answer to the bullet points, which are differentiated by colour. Then, we shared them, and I expanded the vocabulary and more ideas. Afterwards, I explained the importance of these type of communication present in small towns and villages in the Hispanic world, parallel to the word of social media.

Icebreaker activity for induction of Y12. Students read statements and make selection judgments. This is followed by a class discussion, to set the expectations at the beginning of the year and to draw attention to students about what they can do to get high grades. Also useful for Y13 as a reminder! Enjoy!

UPDATED This is my 2018-19scheme of work for the second year of the AL Spanish. Please note that I do the film the second year, to tie it with the topic of Monarquías y Dictaduras. I also enclose the booklet I give the students (Programme of Study). The grade boundaries breakdown is based on the 2018 exams. You will find useful resources to teach the course in my shop, such as original and provoking speaking cards, general questions and very useful revision notes. Happy teaching! Blanca

This is a reference document I have done for personal use but that I thought some teachers might find useful. Using the AQA grade boundaries of the 2018 exams, I have broken down the different parts and skills, working out percentages too. I use this document when we mark classwork, to mark homework, for internal exams, etc. The idea is that the students (and I!) always have a rough idea of the grade they are working at.

A (rather rudimentary!) template, to upload in TEAMs or similar, for students to identify their initial thematic choices. This could then be used: to discuss their choices as a class/individually to ensure that their choices do not overlap, once they refine them. to guide them with the next step
