A lesson based around Dia de Muertos and other traditional festivals of the Spanish speaking world. It includes a fun and captivating video on Dia de Muertos, a listening+reading task based on it, and a super engaging running dictation again based on Dia de Muertos! My class loved this running dictation and even the challenging pupils took part and tried their best. For the running dictation text, open the Word document, print it as many times as needed, and display it around the classroom allowing for enough space so the pupils need to get up and walk towards it to read it - it won’t work well if they can read it from their desks. Other slides include another listening+reading task about curious Spanish festivals - this task is a good revision for the present tense (focusing on ‘nosotros’ y ‘ellos/as’.

Full lesson on sports. Vocabulary with consolidating exercise. Intro to jugar al / hacer. Includes a translation task.

The lesson begins with a recall competitive activity to recap the previous lesson’s content.

Next are some knowledge consolidating exercises: reorder the words, make the sentences negative, slap the board with a twist (explanation in slide’s notes).

A few slides that can be added to a lesson on music instruments with an explanation of how to use ‘‘prefiero a’’. Activities include a fill the gap task, a text translation task, a well scaffolded speaking task, and a quiz.

A full lesson on films, mejor/peor, and discussing whether it’s better to watch films at home (peli y manta) or go to the cinema. The lesson begins with an odd-one-out settling task, where pupils have to identify words that they might already know, or use a dictionary, and choose the one that doesn’t belong in the group. Once the pupils are settled and concentrated, the lesson moves on to a vocabulary presentation on film genres, with breaking-up tasks to help the pupils memorise these new words. Following is a match-up task on adjectives that are commonly used to talk about films. Again, the pupils can use a dictionary if needed or try to work out the translations independently or in pairs. The pupils can then complete a reading and matching-up task, where they will encounter even more adjectives and have to find the correct translation. Following this, there is a brief grammar presentation of mejor/peor, lo mejor/lo peor, and an unjumble the sentences (with a challenge) exercise so the pupils can apply their new knowledge. Finally, there is a cultural tip slide on the concept of peli y manta, and a slide to allow for a class discussion of peli y manta VS cinema.

Now that the pupils should be able to recognise the passive form, they are asked to do so with the previous reading task’s text. Following this, they will tackle some Spanish to English translations (and an English to Spanish one for higher achievers) to put their skills to the test. The finally activity is a speaking/writing task to get the pupils talking about their favourite food without mentioning the name; the classmates will have to guess which food it is.
