A retrieval style grid inspired by a WJEC CPD exemplar I saw posted in 2018. Call out a coordinate, give students 1/2 minutes to formulate a response on MWBs. Potentially a good AfL activity.
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.

A resource with exam based true/false/correct questions and a translation. Focused on how things changed during the Madrid Scene after 1975. There is a focus on Pedro Almodóvar (obviously).

La poetica de Pedro Almodovar
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.
This is a 15 page document for students to use over the period of 3 weeks. Students read one act a week and complete the reading activities as they go or after their reading session. These completed activities then guide conversation in class the following week where the teacher checks that the student has understood the plot up as well as the students thoughts on certain characters and plot developments. There is room for conversation as well about cultural references which are important to understand about Spain in the 1930’s.
There is a writing task for each act, an opinion section, a tick list of events which includes a made up events which students have to spot and a table for students to note down any cultural references.
The end goal here is that students are fully aware of exactly what is happening in each act and how the plot is being developed by Lorca.
