This is now onto version 3, hope it’s helpful. If you want me to change the background colour/image of me then get in touch and I can try and sort something out.

Trying to develop subject knowledge on an unfamiliar topic I have combined information gleaned from a research paper titled Las aportaciones positivas de la inmigración : miradas desde Andalucía and the widely referenced 1955 study* by UNESCO. The result is this resource containing 35 verbs with a matching up task of important verbs and the pirate game. The Andalusian report containts many accounts from immigrants in Spain which I will use as readings. We did a diamond 9 rank activity which I’ll follow up with a speaking and maybe some kind of classification of the benefits into categories (economic, societal, local etc) Will possibly follow up with a reading on public opinion and response writing: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/opini-n-p-blica-sobre-la-inmigraci-n-12582405

Cities and things to do

20 varied opinions about the teaching and speaking of co-official languages with a vocabulary support table.

This is a parallel reader of Lorca’s La Casa de Bernarda Alba complete with an index at the back. The English translations is open-access via Poetry in Translation and A. S. Kline. All design is by myself.

Ideal for GCSE and AS level. There’s a focus on the difference between the future simple and near future.

Over the years I have collected press cuttings from the website todocoleccion. These have never been organised but I’ve put a few together now and highlighed what I think are key phrases and useful bits of information. Obviously there is so much more you can do with this given the texts themselves but as a first lesson I’m going to get my students to build a person profile for Pedro Almodóvar using information gleaned from the multiple texts to find out about him, what makes him tick, what he likes style wise etc etc I have no idea which magazines these belong to so I’m weary about the copyright here but it’s for an educational purpose so I’m hoping that it’s all okay.

Inspired by Ousmar Uman’s story and can’t wait to share it with my year 13s. There’s so much that can be done with this transcript that I’ve kept it simple. I am aware there are some errors in the transcription but it reflects what was said by Ousmar Uman and imo any attempt to correct his Spanish would be distasteful. The opportunity is there though to have that conversation with your students if you happen to find one.

This is a cleaned up version combining two resources I use every year but which are one separate documents over a combined 4 pages. One of those was from AQA and the other I’m not sure despite searching on TES. With this resource students will have support for writing about theme, character, plot, quotes, context and more all on one page. This is a free resource but I have two premium bundles; one on Volver and one on La Casa de Bernarda Alba. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-grammar-translation-quotes-theme-index-12048901 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/volver-bundle-12175732

A booklet with texts in Spanish and English from a range of sources on: 1898 Gitanos America Sexuality Barraca Death Icon Franco The booklet contains a timeline for students to fill as they read through and questions at the back with a vocabulary search as well. Massive thanks to Blanca for creating the text on the ‘icon’ page and Samantha for helping with sourcing texts on some of the other pages. This was designed to precede and tie in with the parallel text available for free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-parallel-text-12273514 Bundle available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba-grammar-translation-quotes-theme-index-12048901

Quotes from the film Volver on a flick PowerPoint. Students can win points if they can answer who said the quote, to whom, in what context and what theme or essay link it relates to.

I’ve designed this to work in conjunction with the GCSE writing mat and the GCSE teacher/student booklet (in particular the list of 108 verbs on the last page). The only thing required from you is to decide which tenses you are working with and crack on. You may come up with your own ideas to incentivise students’ work.

I am asking students to use Quizlet every day and have found a way to make them accountable, inspired by a resource I saw on Facebook. 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.
