Developed to be completed remotely during lockdown, this comprehensive workbook goes through several topics in detail, including key vocabulary and grammar. Tasks are differentiated, with lots of support for lower ability students and stretch and challenge tasks.
Tasks are inductive, and require students to use the vocabulary and grammar in context rather than learning by repetition which is low level, not sufficiently demanding and not as engaging.
Topics include:
numbers, months + time
sequences
dates
spanish speaking countries
physical description
family
animals + colours
word order
where we live
free time
i form vs. infinitive verbs
opinions + infinitive verbs
sports
tv + film
weather
countries + nationalities
holidays
food
as well as LISTENING, READING + WRITING tasks
There is a separate document with answers to tasks.
A range of activities to help students learn bodyparts, understand the difference between ME DUELE/N and be able to give advice to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Suitable for all ks3 and even foundation at ks4
I regularly adapt this resource to help teach lesson structure to students who struggle when developing answers.
Includes help on sentence structure but also 'easy' formulas for conditional tense, present, future and past to improve grades.
Present, present subjunctive, imperfect, conditional and future perfect tenses.
Handout to explain the use for each one - with HABER in all tenses.
Interactive lesson with a focus on inductive learning/ practise.
I have done this primarily with A level but have also taught it to some MA students for GCSE. the resource works really well because it encourages them to conjugate a range of vocabulary in all perfect tenses and allows students to work in their books but also orally due to the competitive sections of the lesson.

* infinitives and infinitive constructions
