Introduction All about Spain - Todo sobre Espana

Lovely lesson to introduce students to Spain. I usually use this at the start of each term with my students. It's nice to watch them discover all bout the culture and the language by themselves. I encourage them to research all about festivals & food. I generally find it is a lesson that they talk about and use as a frame of reference later on in the year.

(Fill in the gaps x 2, translate sentence and write a paragraph) - A notes sheet on the formation of the tense - A notes sheet on the most common irregular verbs. The final file is a cute exit slip to finish the lesson and see if there are any big gaps in students knowledge. Enjoy! Claddagh Classrooms

Sanish Year 7 - Introduction

This is a lesson I used for the first time this year and it worked really well with all my groups. (I had 6!) Included in the lesson are fact finding tasks, opportunities for student to highlight their prior knowledge and a questionnaire to endeavor to discover how students like to learn in lessons. This also asks students some information about the themselves that I use to build a rapport as the year progresses. It is a nice introduction to Spanish and you can do the lesson on computers OR as I have it laid out as a fact finding task. Please note you can buy the getting to know you handout as an individual resource in my store. Enjoy! Claddagh Classroom!

Ar an bhfeirm On the Farm Vocab Sheets

(0)
This wee booklet is good for vocabulary acquisition. Rather than giving students list of vocabulary and getting them to use it or just learn it, I like to scaffold for my less able pupils. I generally find with these tasks their retention is better. I then use these. I love using these type of activities for starters and plenaries too when we’re progressing to full sentences or fully written pieces. The .PDF contains: Two sheets sheet of farm animal portraits pictures where students can look up vocab or you can provide it. Unscramble activity using the new vocabulary. A fill in the gaps activity A word search A counting task using animal pictures (This also revises rules of bunuimhreacha neamhpearsanta) Any issues email claddaghclassrooms@gmail.com and I’ll resolve them within 24 hours.

GCSE Spanish AQA 9-1 Themes - Simple List

I stuck this into the start of my Year 10s Spanish book this year. It's a simple list of the Themes & Topics they will study over the next two years. Some students have highlighted each topic as we complete it. I think it's important for students to have a reference point of what they are learning and will learn about. Claddagh Classrooms
