May also be useful for cover lessons around Christmas time.

Print out or display on the IWB. Use the transcript (page 2) to make it a listening - read out or record or use text to speech online - copy and paste ;) Allow pupils access to it to make the worksheet a reading or to consolidate what gleaned from listening tasks.

The last question is just a reading and extension. Aimed at Level 5 FCSE.

Spanish Writing Assessment Preparation KS3 Year 7 This resource comprises simple preparation with a framework for the first half term writing assessment over three pages. How could I use this? Use the first draft by translating the text above each line. Next use the box to write their own version, changing the underlined words. Watch out for pitfalls e.g. masc/fem adj. endings etc. Encourage superlearners to add more detail and all pupils should use the assessment criteria at the bottom to understand what they should be doing. Use the second sheet once you’ve marked the first to improve/correct. Take this one home to learn. The third sheet is the actual assessment.

Simple assessment: answer the questions in Spanish. ¿Cómo te llamas? ¿Cuántos años tienes? ¿Dónde vives? ¿Qué tal? Extension: ¿Cómo se escribe, tu nombre? Y ¿otra información?
