- To work the PowerPoints you press "s" in slideshow mode and the presentation will start rapidly flashing through all the slides. To stop, you press "s" again and so on. Please note, the faster the computer, the faster the slides will change.
- To practise reading, use a Spanish PowerPoint and pupils either read aloud or write down on a mini whiteboard whichever phrase it lands on in English.
- To practise writing, use an English PowerPoint and pupils write down whichever phrase it lands on in Spanish.
- To practise speaking, use either PowerPoint and pupils say the phrase aloud in Spanish (either reading directly or translating it into Spanish in their heads and then saying it aloud).
