This is a resource I adapted from something called a very useful booklet for A-level. Unfortunately, I don’t know who wrote the original for A-level but I hope you can find this booklet for GCSE Useful. You can edit it to add/remove areas to meet your needs.
“Encanto” in the Spanish Classroom
Great 3-lesson activity pack for Encanto.
Enhance your high school Spanish classes with this engaging 3-day lesson plan centered around Disney’s “Encanto.” This resource provides a structured approach to explore Colombian culture, language, and thematic elements through the film.
I also included instructions on how to access the film online for free for schools
Lesson Breakdown:
Day 1: Introduction to Colombia’s geography, traditions, and cultural aspects. Begin watching the first 30 minutes of “Encanto” with guided note-taking on characters, setting, and cultural references.
Day 2: Continue the film for 30 minutes, focusing on new vocabulary and cultural observations. Includes structured note-taking and discussion prompts.
Day 3: Conclude the film, emphasising themes and personal reflections.
This resource includes detailed instructions, discussion questions, and note-taking guides to help students connect with the film’s cultural and linguistic elements. Perfect for 50-minute class periods, this plan encourages active viewing and meaningful conversations.
Hope you find it useful!

Using structure strips have been incredibly useful and rewarding for my pupils.
I have been using them to help students to form better quality paragraphs.
This is a handout to provide feedback to your Year 9 and GCSE students on their written work in Spanish.
After marking a piece of writing, I add one of this handouts to my students' work, highlighting an area or two for them to improve. Alternatively, I cut a QR Code and stick it on their work along with my feedback.
Students have to use a QR code reader on their iPads or smartphones to access the content in the QR Codes which will display some grammar information.
In this way feedback is a bit more personalised and interactive.
Hope you can give it a go!
