I've print screened the slides and pasted them above the original content.

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

A nice way to start the lesson and get the class focused. First activity is a simple 'spot the odd one out' followed by the same slides copied but with the answers, including pictures. Second activity is a 'what's behind the box' activity.

Lots of people from varying nationalities with varying levels of education and experience. They all have a reason for emigrating, some due to war and some due to retirement.

Bank interest - Announced at the end of the game anybody with this icon can multiply their final score by somewhere between 1.1 - 2.0 to be decided by the teacher. Prison - Send a classmate to prison for three rounds. They cannot unlock their boxes during these rounds. Sell items - With this icon you can sell your mirror/shield to the highest bidder.

A lesson to introduce year 7 to the idea of the gender and number of nouns. There’s a section on nouns, a learning review and then some practice and then the same again for adjectives. For the purposes of this lesson I’m only concentrating on nouns ending with -o.

The idea for the personality test came about after I saw a similar resource on Twitter. I want my GCSE students to go beyond the obvious when describing themselves. I’ve uploaded a reading as well which came first in this mini-series. We then became very bad recruitment consultants and matched 20 candidates to the jobs from the reading. I haven’t exploited the 24 candidates to the fullest yet, there’ s a lot to unpack there.
