I have finally finished putting together oral questions to practice for the speaking.
This is a 26 pages booklet with a few hundred questions that students can use to practice but also to research some topic areas.
First couple of pages also include info about the oral examination and some tips.
And then, there is a bank of idioms that students can use with translations and examples of the idioms so that they can see how they would be used. They are all grouped per topic but can be used for lots of other topics.
Varied worksheets on the topic of Pan's Lab that include activities about the director, Devil's Backbone, themes, symbols, references to other stories, characters, a gameboard and some questions for the oral. I have also included the cover of the booklet that my students have. I added the pdf documents and also the word documents for other teachers to adapt if wanted.
This is the worksheet I put together using different internet websites and some of my own exercises for my students of Year 13.
It worked well and students got an intense practice.
This booklet includes the AQA mark scheme, a quotes exercise, 11 essay exercises that come with bullet points and 8 essay titles without a bullet point.
I added as well for my students essay phrases so that they can have it all in one place.
The A3 planner is basically a sheet that we use when writing an essay in class or that students can use at home to structure their essays a bit more.
I added some teacher feedback points that I normally highlight so that students see what they have to amend, change or add. I had the feeling that I was always writing the same things regarding the stucture and this teacher feedback box makes the marking a bit quicklier.
Regarding the accuracy and errors I tend to use a blue highlighter for the errors that I think that they can correct themselves. Then, next lesson, they have to show me their corrections. If the structure is not quite what they need, I tend to ask them to staple a cue card and write down one of the paragraphs again following the feedback I give them.
These are 2 series of resources, one for Y12 and one for Year 13 to train students to deal with summaries.
The Year 12 includes a Reading Assessment (version A and B) with 5 questions in each one:
Reading comprehension with answers in Spanish
Synonyms
Summary
T, F, NM
Translations into Spanish
After this assessment, we did a Summaries training session to get better at it.
The Year 13 one includes a power point + students notes in which students practice changing from the I/we persons to the he/she/they persons. The aim of this lesson is to get better at manipulating the language.
Actividad de correción de frases para mejorar la "accuracy" en los ensayos.

Aquí os dejo una “mat” que he hecho para los alumnos de AS que ya pronto tienen su examen. También puede servir para los de A2 (he arreglado un par de erratas que se me colaron).
Incluye:
- citas de los personajes
- if clauses
- por / para
- idioms
- sequencing words
- gustar verbs
Por detrás he incluido las conjugaciones del indicativo y el presente / imperfecto de subjuntivo.
Canción de Nena Daconte para practicar el Futuro con IR+INFINITIVO.
Los dos vídeos adjuntados vienen con subtitulos. En uno de ellos los subtitulos tienen errores y los alumnos han de corregirlos.
I used Coming soon, Anjelika Rose and Komika Text fonts to create the Publisher document.
Duplicate and reduce to A4 so that students have two small gameboards each.
In one they allocate their own boats. In the other one they take notes of the boats the hit or miss.
This resource is a vocabulary booklet for students of Alevel that do Pan´s Lab.
I have recently updated this booklet and have opted to translate the words into English. This way the students can use it as a revision tool.
It includes a detailed list of vocabulary for the different scenes in the film.
It also includes an information sheet for essay structure and a section for parents/carers to fill in when testing their children.
I have printed it in A5 and my students have absolutely loved it. I made it for our AS last year but gave a copy to the A2 too. The A2 have found it useful to revise the vocab.
Goes really well with my Pan´s Lab MAT, which you can find in my shop :) on TES. You will find the link in my blog :) https://recursossj.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/alfombrilla-de-el-laberinto-del-fauno.html
This resource is a market place activity in which students have to work in groups in a carrousel style.
Every group has the vocab sheet to gather vocab and create their own glossary plus a reading comprehension sheet to fill in whilst they have the menu. It is important that students divide the work up: some can look up the vocabulary whilst the others can answer the questions. Or, they could all spend some minutes looking up the words first and then answering the questions. You can use the stopwatch website and its timers so that students can see how much time they have left.
The aim is that they read the menus and that they get to learn about other countries and their famous dishes whilst consolidating some of the Food vocab they learnt in previous lessons.
There are menus for a Basque restaurant, a Catalan restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and the last one is a menu from Costa Rica.
This activity takes up the whole hour (if you get every group to look at 2 menus) and I used it at the end of the Food Unit.
You can also use the menus for Role Plays the next lesson.
If your groups do 2 menus then you can get your students to talk to the rest about the food they learnt that people eat in those countries.
I used this activity with a Y7 class and it worked very well. Students were engaged and they loved the role plays we did the following lesson.
As a follow up activity you could ask them to design their own menus of other Spanish speaking countries. They could use the computers to do some research and then do their designs.
