This is a cleaned up version combining two resources I use every year but which are one separate documents over a combined 4 pages. One of those was from AQA and the other I’m not sure despite searching on TES.
With this resource students will have support for writing about theme, character, plot, quotes, context and more all on one page.
This is a free resource but I have two premium bundles; one on Volver and one on La Casa de Bernarda Alba.

A booklet with texts in Spanish and English from a range of sources on:
1898
Gitanos
America
Sexuality
Barraca
Death
Icon
Franco
The booklet contains a timeline for students to fill as they read through and questions at the back with a vocabulary search as well.
Massive thanks to Blanca for creating the text on the ‘icon’ page and Samantha for helping with sourcing texts on some of the other pages.
This was designed to precede and tie in with the parallel text available for free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-parallel-text-12273514
Bundle available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-grammar-translation-quotes-theme-index-12048901
Quotes from the film Volver on a flick PowerPoint. Students can win points if they can answer who said the quote, to whom, in what context and what theme or essay link it relates to.
I’ve designed this to work in conjunction with the GCSE writing mat and the GCSE teacher/student booklet (in particular the list of 108 verbs on the last page). The only thing required from you is to decide which tenses you are working with and crack on.
You may come up with your own ideas to incentivise students’ work.
A resource with exam based true/false/correct questions and a translation. Focused on how things changed during the Madrid Scene after 1975. There is a focus on Pedro Almodóvar (obviously).

I am asking students to use Quizlet every day and have found a way to make them accountable, inspired by a resource I saw on Facebook.
This is specific to year 11 but I have included a Word document in case you want to edit it starting in September.
Students colour code the vocab sets (these can be found on Quizlet, search @olliemfl and then folders there is a WJEC Spanish one). They are then tasked with colour coding the days with the set they have studied. From October to June, based on 5 minutes a day, there are 20 hours more or less of revision available. This goes up hugely if you double or treble that time.
I have added a row at the bottom of each month for a parental signature which the teacher can then check.
Reading and listening for AS based on gypsy culture in Spain and the issues they faced and still face today.
Listening from WJEC from their free resources page.
This worked very well indeed and was followed by a writing task in which students had to convince somebody that their reasoning was the best. We used ‘se puede’ with the infinitive verbs from the second page, combined with the GCSE writing mat that I have uploaded as well.
Small series of lessons including a sentence builder with the three main eating verbs (desyunar, almorzar and cenar) as well as other less common eating verbs.
A starter on adjectival agreement, a speaking focused lesson using Conti style activities including a pyramid speaking and sentence stealer game and finally a reading focused lesson focused on skimming/scanning and locating information.
Edit: corrected some typos
Flick PowerPoint filled with quotes from the film on every different theme. Simply start the slide show and press left arrow key to stop in position. Students have to guess who said the quote. Exit slide show and remove the box to verify their guesses.
Premium version includes who they said the quote to, in what context and what theme the quote can represent/what essay link they can make with it. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/volver-know-your-quote-premium-version-12170430
