La casa de Bernarda Alba bundle, used with year 13 Spanish following AQA. Starters were vocab tests, which I have also uploaded. As is my trademark, everything is unfinished but hopefully a helpful starting point for those who have never taught. Used this for two year 13 cycles. Improving as I go, learning as I go. Lots to improve on still. An unfinished scheme of work, past essay questions and essay writing resources are also included. No specific essay lessons because practice started very early, so it’s slowly built up throughout the course. Lots of resources from TES helped to create, but also heavily relied on the Hodder Guide. Where there are gaps, I used text from Hodder and treated it like a university lecture: teacher reads, students take notes then summarised together. The Cervantes Theatre performance is also a very important part of study.

Still needs more development, but hopefully useful as a base. Includes words from La casa de Bernarda Alba vocabulary lists and essay phrases lists from Quizlet, as well as back of the Manchester University Press edition. Students join a Quizlet group to aid independent study, but they are also supported to independently revise content using their notes, etc. Context: Serves as a starter to a double fortnightly film study lesson. Start studying the film in the first few weeks, and writing essays very early too to try and banish any fear over it before it can set in.

checklists to help students organise their studies

Introducing near future to high attaining year 8 group using the topic/content of hometown. Depending on timing, could be two lessons. Disclaimer: as always, don’t expect a totally finished product, and some slides may be recognisable from other users

Baseline test will need adapting based on your KS3 topics/GCSE exam board.

Lesson(s) based around worksheets originally from TES author: littlemissmo, but have been ‘renovated’. Worksheets finished, but PowerPoint still needs some refining, hopefully it can just be helpful as a base/skeleton. Context: First in ‘Destination Vacances’ unit with year 9 lower attaining students, have previously done other lessons on Francophonie in year 7 and year 8, but not enough. (Still working on making culture more a part of lessons) Please also bear in mind that their may be language mistakes as I am not native.

Cultural introduction to AQA A2 topic Einwanderung using real life event from 1992, Krawalle von Rostock-Lichtenhagen, as well as trailer of fictionalised account from ‘wir sind jung, wir sind stark’. As usual, PowerPoint could do with some refining, just here for inspo :).

Something to work on/with as I plan to add more to it e.g. visuals, more context for some words, etc., but hopefully a helpful base. Made for year 13 students, units added as we went through the year but year 12 units and GCSE high frequency vocabulary from the start-ish. Bit of context: Students joined a Quizlet group with vocabulary lists from the Oxford AQA AS and A2 textbooks to support independent language study. Some lessons they had starters on grammar (conjugation) or translation, these slides were used for the vocabulary starters.

Lesson to help get students engaged with topic in a creative way before mostly following the textbook (AQA GCSE German)

Tarsia puzzle resource created for year 8 to help revise the hobbies topic. NB: takes forever to cut out, but can be re-used for years after

Baseline test that will need adapting based on your KS3 topics/GCSE exam board. x PS this lesson PPT not as polished as those for French, apologies

as usual, not 100% beautifully finished, but mostly there multiple tense and multiple person conjugations used as a starter with A Level Spanish classes, tend to alternate between vocabulary and conjugation tests in textbook (paper 1/3) lessons including one slide testing ‘vos’ aka rioplatense Spanish, I use reverso context when students need to see the usage of particular structures e.g. subjunctive - hayas cambiado

Originally designed for 25 minutes with a mixed attainment year 7 class. Unit: Mon temps libre

Lesson created using two TES resources (from mmullen and Rhoneysett) on equality, not strictly in the AQA GCSE (Oxford) textbook, but a nice extension on the unit 6 social issues topic and hopefully a link between GCSE and A Level for those interested. Hopefully not any/too many mistakes to be found…

Starters or ‘do now’ exercises in French sorted by topic created to give Ss a choice on which task they do (even if most go for the easiest match up option) and for recall. Add to them as I go along, but thought I’d share these so far…
