Activity for revising different verb tenses and topics from new GCSE AQA books.
You have a table with different verbs tenses/sentences and project it on your interactive whiteboard/wall. In groups of 2 (max 3) they write the answer in Spanish to one of the parcels/boxes on their mini white boards, come to you at the front of the class (you check) and if they have the answer correct they can claim the parcel/box. You write their names/team name on a post it notes and stick it over the parcel/box on the interactive whiteboard. Then, no one can do this parcel/box anymore. The winner is the group to have most parcels/boxes claimed at the end.
Works well as end of module revision or translation practice.

A cultural project which I did with my classes in MFL(Spanish) as a competition but I guess you could use for other lessons like geography or citizenship. This project took a week to complete. Students worked in groups of 3-4 and then presented their work (PowerPoint/brochure). A nice end of term or year activity with a cultural take on it to fit new curriculum (global dimension). Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Here is a book I have written about the Spanish spoken in El Salvador. It contains 62 pages, a lot of vocabulary, expressions and images used on a daily basis in the Spanish of El Salvador. The whole book is in Spanish and it is arranged in themes. I decided to do this as a little project or challenge as I was learning more about this country and was really interested in the language which is very different from Castellano used in Spain. Many of my friends and family from El Salvador have helped and contributed towards this book. The illustrations in this book were drawn by a local artist who works for a national newspapers in El Salvador. Some extracts of this book could be used in lessons to compare with Castellano Spanish but it is more directed at teachers wanting to increase their knowledge of Spanish or teachers who are just curious and want to learn more about another culture. Enjoy and I hope you find it useful! If you would like to buy a printed copy, you can always contact me directly.
