This is specific to year 11 but I have included a Word document in case you want to edit it starting in September.
Students colour code the vocab sets (these can be found on Quizlet, search @olliemfl and then folders there is a WJEC Spanish one). They are then tasked with colour coding the days with the set they have studied. From October to June, based on 5 minutes a day, there are 20 hours more or less of revision available. This goes up hugely if you double or treble that time.
I have added a row at the bottom of each month for a parental signature which the teacher can then check.
Reading resource with varied opinion about immigration. Not included on page 2 but something I will be doing is rolling a 20-sided die and asking students to formulate a response/question to each person on MWBs. Each person has a number in the bottom corner.

A quick reading to go over various film genres and opinions, I plan to then ask ss to write an opinion of a film genre themselves and to use the numbered grid to write an answer worth as many points as possible.
