A side quest of our Madrid trip was photographing street signs with accessible language ranging from easy to hard. The result is this resource! This was inspired by a similar resource by @MrFrancisMFL who created a Bilbao version a few years ago! Ideal for a pre or post-Madrid trip lesson for those trip attendees and those who didn’t make it.

An introduction to DOPs, their placement, common nouns and some structured practice. This is a sample page from my GCSE grammar workbook. An improved edition 2 is coming in Summer.

I’ll most likely update this in a few months time but for now I’m going with it.

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

Hopefully after making this I will see less aburrido, importante, divertido and interesante. I am working on breadth of vocabulary with my year 11s at the moment and using synonyms and upgrading out adjective use is on the agenda next week. I plan for this 99 adjectives worksheet to form the backbone of the lesson. Update: This is now on version 2, I have now included some really advanced adjectives like fanfarrón, tacaño, hospilatorio, bruto etc

A booklet with thematic pages full of IRP ideas as well as linked similar issues. Structured research pages, a vocabulary section and a 2-minute speech draft section. All editable PDFs.

Post-writing checklist for students.

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 Adela is rebelde you may ask them ‘how do we know?’ and they have to write a sentence explaining why they think Adela is rebelde giving examples from the text, this infinitive structure and verb sheet could form the basis of one of those exemplary points.

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.

Two pages per character. One page on development, relationships, goals and motivations and a second one containing 17 contrasting adjectives to develop descriptions of characters. I’ve included this free in the Volver bundle I have for sale.

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.

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.
