Cut the statements individually and place facing down. Students take it in turns to talk about each statement for a set time. This is one of my revision carousel activities prior to speaking exam. Any comments welcome! Enjoy!

These are three versions of the same exercise on the director's cinematographic techniques. The idea is that you differentiate according to your students' needs. It should help students to revise vocabulary, grammar, sentence formation and the techniques themselves! Please browse my other resources in case if you find something useful. I have recently uploaded some materials for the new AS exam and will continue to do more. Follow me! Enjoy!

This is a friendly adaptation (jargon free) of the speaking mark scheme for a card. I have introduced it to students to:1) become more aware of what they are marked for; 2) to ease peer marking; 3) to reflect on their own performance and learning. It has been successfully tested with two of my classes, and it was very welcome by the students.

This is a reference document I have done for personal use but that I thought some teachers might find useful. Using the AQA grade boundaries of the 2018 exams, I have broken down the different parts and skills, working out percentages too. I use this document when we mark classwork, to mark homework, for internal exams, etc. The idea is that the students (and I!) always have a rough idea of the grade they are working at.

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.

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.
