Twenty years as Spanish and French teacher, specialist in Latin American culture, particularly film and Literature. My resources are very creative and students find themselves developing curiosity about the culture as well as being challenged to take risks with the language. They are engaging for the teacher too and they will inject some fun in to your lessons if like me you like to be creative and encourage your students not to play it safe. They do link to assessment requirements too.

Extreme sports and expressing opinions

Boys really loved the Parcour lesson and I have never got so much speaking done with a Y8 class jsut by talking about extreme sports instead of conventional sports.\nShow them the clip at the start of Casino Royale before doing either of the reading tasks and you will be very popular too.\nfirst reading task is in English-team speed reading challenge then you can opt to do the one in French as well or instead.

Superheroes for comparison

We do a Super hero project in term 2 to get students describing what someone looks like, hence these resources are all about superheroes. Really works, especially with boys. it culminates with an assessment in which they describe a super hero and a villain of choice, can make up their own. Looks/personality/comparisons/personal info/likes and dislikes with nouns.

An idea for a beginning of Y12 or Y13 icebreaker. Largely about speaking but can be used to do a grammar diagnostic. Based on Radio 4's desert island discs. Great fun to try and a good way to get to know the group and their confidence levels, is also music is a topic that has come up on Edexcel AS papers every year. Do let me know if you have tried something like this before and or if you try this one.

PPt will need adapting by you as goes with my particular lesson but could give you some ideas. Tick or fix for example links to a previous lesson\n\nM. Vraiment sportif-idea is that answers are printed on to card with questions for AFL on the other side- reading task differentiated as are questions for reflection and the success criteria for the writing task

ID cards for mix and mingle

They speak for themselves really. I am having a set printed on card and laminated so I can use them for mix and mingle/ speed dating activities. You could use them for writing, for pair or small group info gap style activities as well. Of course they could also be used at start of a GCSE course and you can always add such things as profession, place live etc.

As the topic of where you live can be a bit boring we get our students to do presentations on a Latin American capital city-great practice for orals and good cultural input. In fact it could become a CA if you wanted it to. In the build up we use some or all of these resources. When they are doing the presentations the rest of the class have to fill in a listening grid, can be devised by students.
