Differentiating has never been easier with this easy-to-use and complete literacy mat!!
I created this resource because my weaker Y11’s were struggling to write a text in GCSE format. I decided to give them this literacy mat so they could use it as a sentence builder. Also, as I numbered the boxes, it was particularly useful for speaking tasks as I would ask them to pick and use structures from numbers (1, 2 and 3 for example) in order to support them learn and use the language routinely. If you are struggling to differentiate like I was this Spanish learning mat will support your weakest students to be more independent. It is an ideal resource for writing and speaking activities in your Spanish classes. It includes the following vocabulary:
idioms
opinions
negatives
advanced structures
some important verbs in preterit and future
connectives
key structures
time phrases
useful verb structures
comparisons
adjectives for opinions
This is the perfect resource for your KS4 Spanish lessons!
