This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession. This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD. The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings. Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this. All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design. Ollie

Including some high-frequence connectives, time phrases amongst others

Just a one page introduction to a few of Lorca’s works.

Learners complete the conjugation tables on the front of their booklet with support from the Powerpoint and teacher input. Learners then complete the booklet, section by section, changing the verbs in context from the present into the preterite. As a challenge learners may translate these sentences. A homework task is set at the end which requires students to translate from English to Spanish.

This is a resource to check how well students have understood the plot and the characters in the book. I recommend that firstly students match up the infinitive structures which are already conjugated in the 3rd person, afterwards use different coloured highlighters to categorise the infinitive verbs by the character which they correspond with. This is an ideal task as a follow up to the character analysis two-page sheet, if a student for example says that Raimunda is fuerte you may ask them ‘how do we know?’ and they have to write a sentence explaining why they think Raimunda is fuerte giving examples from the text, this infinitive structure and verb sheet could form the basis of one of those exemplary points.

A starter activity to check how well students have understood the plot. It does make make you realise as well how many small plot lines are running at the same time. Answers given as well in teacher copy.

Updated Volver quote cards x60 Now with more uncommon quotes which exemplify themes by secondary characters and also a picture of who said each quote on each card.

Infinitive structures can be a life saver for those students who find conjugations tricky. If you know an infinitive structure for the present, past and future then you can rest assured you are working in three tenses as a minimum.
