PRINT CROSSWORD A3 SIZE AND IT PRINTS FINE - PHOTO INCLUDED TO SHOW LAYOUT ONCE PRINTED This crossword is the perfect end of year challenge for KS3 Spanish. The crossword is A3 size and includes 98 across words and 100 down words - which means it is HUGE! My Year 7’s did this recently and absolutely loved it! It’s a great way of rounding off the year and recapping everything done in Year 7. Of course, this crossword can be given to KS4 classes too as quick revision of basic vocabulary. This resource could be used in the classroom or could be set as homework to complete over the summer holidays. It took me a long time to make this, but I would say it’s been well worth it - my pupils have really enjoyed completing it!! :D

This weekend helps pupils prepare for their end of year reading exam. It covers the environment and school GCSE topics. Activities include match-up activities, translation into English, reading comprehension practice. This is ideal for a revision lesson, cover work or home-work.

This presentation and accompanying worksheet cover the topic of the environment. Specifically, this lesson focuses on environmental issues that exist in your town / city and consists of a complex text. All activities and based on the text and provide pupils with the opportunity to enhance their comprehension skills. Activities include: gap fill, true/false, translation, identifying key words & producing a piece of writing (as a challenge activity). This worksheet could be used as the basis for a whole lesson, or it could be set as homework.

This lesson is ideal for a high-ability GCSE group.

This powerpoint and accompanying resources is an ideal speaking-practice lesson for KS3 pupils (particularly once they have covered the ‘free time’ topic). Pupils will build vital conversational skills including responding to questions and asking questions. Pupils will practice speaking with their normal partners and will also circulate around the room speaking to people who they don’t usually communicate with - this will help build spoken confidence as pupils are encouraged to talk in Spanish other people. Pupils will also cover how to change and modify verbs from the ‘you’ form into the ‘I’ form - this will help prepare them for the listening and responding process.

This activity contains over 90 vocabulary revision cards which are all various levels of difficulty. Once cut up, pupils take it in turn to pick up a card at random and either speak or write down what the card says. For example “tres animales” (this would be a ‘green’ / easy card) or “tres problemas que existen en familias hoy en dia” (this would be a ‘red’ / difficult card). Translations are provided in English as well on each card to ensure understanding - pupils can either listen to the instruction in Spanish from their partner or read the instruction. This activity will help pupils revise vocabulary for topics that they might not have studied for a while, and will help them figure out which areas of vocabulary they are weakest at. I did this recently with my Year 11 class and they loved it!

This document contains a wide selection of possible writing tasks that could come up in the GCSE writing exam. The tasks are differentiated and can either be assigned to particular pupils, or pupils can choose their own level of challenge. Topics covered include: family, relationships, marriage, school, town/city, house and home, holidays, travel, festivals & customs, environment, healthy living, sports. Pupils should do this task in exam conditions and without using additional resources - I would also recommend peer assessment as a good way of pupils learning from each other’s mistakes etc.

These cards aim to enhance fluency and spontaneity amongst KS5 pupils. The idea is that they pick up a card at random, ask their partner the question and listen to their partner’s response (and vice versa). All cards cover the different topics which come up at AS level (fashion, young people, family, tv, music, art, culture, internet and technology, tourism etc.) They are colour-coded based on topic and cover a range of different questions - ranging from the easier to the more challenging. Of course, this resource could be used in a number of ways but I used it with my Year 12 class as a spontaneous on-the-spot speaking activity in which pupils gave each other verbal feedback. It was very successful and pupils enjoyed the surprise element of it!

2-PAGE WORKSHEET FINE ONCE PRINTED - IMAGE OF BOTH SHEETS PROVIDED I made this worksheet as cover work for my middle-set Year 8 group. It is on the topic of film and TV, and tests pupil knowledge of different types of TV shows and film genres. Pupils get to practice their reading, writing and translation skills whilst simultaneously reinforcing their vocabulary. Pupils could complete this sheet either as cover-work, or as homework revision. The extension task involves using a Spanish dictionary to look up particular words in order to translate the literal translation of different TV shows.

This resource includes a number of different speaking cards on various topics that pupils could be faced with in the speaking exam. These cards can either be cut up and given to the pupils at random (like in the real exam) or you could give this resource to pupils as a booklet to revise from at their leisure. Obviously, the texts could be used for translation purposes in order to practice translation and reading skills in preparation for the component 2 examination.

**RESOURCE LOOKS FINE ONCE DOWNLOADED - 2 PAGE DOCUMENT APPEARS STRANGELY IN PREVIEW. ** This resource provides KS5 pupils with the opportunity to test their vocabulary and knowledge of different topics. The cards on each sheet can be cut up and used as a card sorting activity, in which pupils have to match up relevant facts to the statements made in the larger boxes. This will enable pupils to practice providing ‘evidence’ when making statements (which is a key aspect of the KS5 speaking exam). Once the cards have been sorted (as a reading activity), pupils can begin having discussions about the statements made and whether they agree / disagree etc. I have done the activity with my current Year 12 class and it really helped them think deeply about different topics and tested their vocabulary. After the match-up activity, they were able to have a detailed debate about a range of topics :)

111 cards in total!! This resource is ideal for revision of different tenses. Pupils can either work their way through this 20 page document for revision, or you could cut up the tense cards (all differentiated and colour coded red, orange, green) and pupils could select cards at random and test themselves. This is a great resource for increasing spontaneity, fluency and accuracy as pupils must complete their chosen card as quickly as possible without making any errors. Adding a competitive element to filling out these cards worked really well with my class! :)

This power-point and accompanying worksheet focus on the irregular present tense. This could be used with GCSE pupils or KS5 pupils to recap the changes that occur in some present tense verbs. The resources here are enough to cover 2 or 3 lessons on the topic of irregular present tense and they include activities such as translation, card sorting, reading, gap-fill activities and verb drills.

This 4 page document includes a wide range of translations for pupils to complete (covering a range of different GCSE topics from the new 2018 specification). Also, the 20 word vocab challenge tests pupils on 20 words to do with a certain topic - answers are provided as well so pupils can test each other. Great for revision!
