Please see my notes on 'Statements AQA A2 Law and Order' on ideas to use these.

This is a cover sheet to return with written pieces. I have simplified it from the AQA mark scheme for the AS or first year. It corresponds to Paper 2 (Writing) in the AS Specification. It is intended to provide feedback on essays based on the book or film, but it can also be used to provide marks, feedback and set targets for any long piece of writing. For this reason I have adapted the heading in the first box to any "topic". The idea is that, from the beginning of the course, students get used to writing critical responses, different viewpoints that are explained and evidence, and focus on grammar and structure. For example, I have just used it to provide feedback on an essay on mobiles. This should have a positive impact on their speaking too.

These are summary notes for the students taken from a variety of resources. There are also four activities to use these.

This is my 18-19 Scheme of Work for the first year of the new A level Spanish (from 2016). I enclose the document I give students too. I have also published the second year for free in TES. The grade boundaries breakdown is based on the 2018 exams. Please note I teach the book in the first year, to tie it up with the theme of gender equality.

Some quick reading exercises to learn about, revise or test basic knowledge of Spanish society In Lorca's time. The content has been adapted from Hodder's guide.

A one page worksheet where students are asked to spot and correct common grammmatical errors. This activity allows students to reflect on grammar and content acquisition for Act 1 and Act 2 of La Casa via a student’s blog. An extension activity is suggested: students could create their own blog and post their paragraph. I have included the answers and a second set of answers with links to key revision points for each paragraph. The original source is from colby.edu, and it has been adapted.

These are two model essays for La Casa, one on the main themes and the other on the character of Adela. They are an AL1 question but can easily be adated for AL2. I hope you find them useful.

This is a listening/reading activity where students watch a cutting-edge insightful video on young people who have left Spain due to unemployment. Students work on to the transcript to answer questions INTERPRETING what they have seen/heard. It helps students to gain cultural depth, as well as develop their analytical skills. I used it as an introduction to the topic, and students worked in pairs. There is also a website with the same title which I found really interesting. Good for extension reading after the exercise. Enjoy! Blanca

Starter activity for a lesson on the rights of the LGBT+ community. Students watch a video and mark down the sentences they do not hear or that are false. This is followed by a short introductory debate, with three graded questions and some content suggestions to guide the students through the conversation.

Worksheet with short reading tasks plus a translation on the maquis.

An activity to do in groups on the causes and impact of the 15-M, leading to a presentation.

A fun translation activity based on a revision task in the AQA book p. 104, at the end of the topic La identidad Regional. The task revises numbers, the subjunctive, vocabulary and accents. You can do it as a competitive speaking activity, followed by the same exercise in writing. … For more free resources, please browse my shop. I also have paid resources at very competitive prices.

I’ve created a kahoot for after showing this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdizSgFEuR8. The kahoot is at: https://play.kahoot.it/…. Excuse the photos, they are a bit generic and possibly not accurate, but hey, they add colour!. I hope it is useful.
