Spanish A Level: Aspects of political life: Monarchies and dictatorships - La exhumación de Franco

This resource consists of a series of reading, writing and speaking activities about the vote in the Spanish Congress (in September 2018) that passed a bill to exhume Franco’s remains from El Valle de los Caídos .
The main text is about the vote itself, about the construction of El Valle de los Caídos and what it represents, the reasons for moving Franco’s remains and what will happen to them in the future.
The activities include exam-like questions, such as finding expressions that mean the same as the words given, changing sentences so that the information in them is correct, a 90-word summary, several questions to answer in Spanish and a paragraph to translate into English.
The last three pages of the resource consist of a “fact file” providing information about Franco’s life and dictatorship, and two speaking cards (theme discussion cards) based on the information in the fact file.
This reading activity is part of the sub-theme “Monarchies and dictatorships”, of the theme “Aspects of political life” of the AQA A Level course.
