A collection of worksheets covering the topic of “El machismo y el feminismo”.

I have been putting things together so that I can do some revision of topics that were covered during lockdown - I will want to pop back to some of them as we move through the first term. One part of this is a resource based on an interview with the Venezuelan trans producer ARCA. I have also taken the opportunity to take a look at suffixes in Spanish. When you see the resources you will see how I have shoehorned that in by using the lyrics from a song from ARCA’s new album!

Resources to teach about Festivals in Spain. They can be used for Writing and/or Speaking activities.

These resources are to be used following the teaching of the weather in Spanish. The focus is on the seasons and then describing the climate zones of the world. There are two versions of the text for differentiation purposes. The map that is coloured in as part of this activity is printed from the PowerPoint slide 10.

Piracy. The PowerPoint discusses downloading in its general sense before moving on to differentiate between legal and illegal downloading. The video + listening tasks are embedded and should work when the PowerPoint is downloaded. I have uploaded it to slideshare as the file was too large for this site. Also, the listening task on Spotify is based on a podcast from the SSL4YOU website http://ssl4you.blogspot.co.uk .

I used this with a top set Year 9 group. I showed the film before doing the activities. I explained that they would find it very difficult to understand but what I wanted was for them to get a general idea of what happens in the story. The film lasts about 12 minutes. I followed this with the activities on the PowerPoint. The memorisation activity at the start gives them the opportunity to learn some key words then you go through what happens in the film expressed in simpler language. Finally comes the blanked text activity.

The activity relates to opinions on school uniform. The worksheet is printed on card + cut up and the students sort the statements into two columns- for or against school uniform.

Transition to A level Spanish activities for Year 11 students. TASK 1 – A Cambio de Nada (film analysis) TASK 2 – Independent Research Project TASK 3 – Comprehension + grammar (based on the Covid19 outbreak + guidance given in Spain) Other resources can be found on https://neiljones.org/

The resources here are aimed at practising clothes within the context of shopping. The main language presented is the verb QUEDAR as well as demonstrative pronouns. A cultural element is provided through the use of the Antena 3 programme Los Protegidos.

Reading comprehension for A2 Spanish students. Based on the life of ex terrorsit, Yoyes.

Writing frame document to follow on from Reading Comprehension on San Fermin Festival to promote extended Writing, using Present/Past/Future Tenses. The Powerpoint supports the Worksheet.

This is intended for higher level GCSE + giving opinions on your town. The YouTube video gives some interesting cultural background.

This resource is a homework task I have just put together for my A level Spanish students although it could be used in a lesson. It is a reading summary task in line withe the AQA Spanish A level.

This is a fairly random piece of work which I made in response to us coming across the expression “dar gato por liebre” in a text. The students found it really interesting. It doesn’t properly fit into any topic, but sometimes it’s great to look at these interesting aspect of the language and try to use a couple where possible.

These Resources are for teaching the topic of Hotel Accommodation. I have added in a focus on the Hotel Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires to provide a bit of Cultural background. They include Questions, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension and Writing tasks.

A Worksheet introducing the festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain (7th of July). It includes Vocabulary, Reading activity and Questions.

This is a reading resource for A level Spanish in the topic area of Jóvenes de hoy - ciudadanos del mañana. It focuses on a Spanish street artist and how this art form can be used as a means of social protest.

Los futbolistas y los grupos de música pop que ganan muchísimo dinero no son buenos modelos para la juventud. ¿Estás de acuerdo o no? Justifica tus opiniones. I have taken this as the theme for a lesson which hopefully builds towards the students being prepared to write their own response to the title as part of their homework.

The imperfect tense is presented with an opportunity to practise the langauge following a clip from the Spanish TV series ‘Física o Química’. The video is embedded + you must be connected to the internet for it to work. The YouTube link is also shown on the relevant slide.
