Do you want to know what is the most expensive restaurant in the world? Well... there is Google and there is also this stupendous presentation that not only includes that but there is also a list of the most expensive food one can get from around the world. The purposes of this Powerpoint are to revise high numbers, practicing the vocab related to the topic of food and a healthy diet and showing your students part of the Spanish culture. You will find some help in a PDF and in the notes included in the PowerPoint. I hope you and your students like it! Also... it's free! :D

A very simple activity for the students to practice their speaking about what can one do in a city/village. There are 4 text messages with different types of visitors with different preferences and the students have to come up with a suitable plan for them. In my case my students live in Bath so they know the area pretty well but any students can use this activity since Bath is such a touristic place and they can even use this website in Spanish (http://es.visitbath.co.uk/) to help them decide what sort of activities they can offer in reply to the people who text them. A very practical activity all in all. Grammar: Se puede + inf. / Hay... Reviews are highly appreciated!!! :)

After looking for a while for a basic book review template I decided to create my own in order to get what I was specifically looking for. Maybe you find it useful too. Take a look. The templates I found were somehow limited or aimed at really young students so I created this personal version. The document is a PDF form so students can fill it in directly on their computers. You can use them in your lessons, the school library and bookclubs but also for your own book readings to keep track of all those things that stack with you. Simple, schematic and FREE!!!

This project is one of my favourite creations. Over the last year, I have been gathering several pieces of news on Spain’s current affairs that were connected to the topics my students have to prepare for their A2 Spanish exam. Once I had read each article I did redact a short text (150 words approx.) in my own words with the most relevant info. The result: 36 colourful texts (one for each subtopic) that can be used in many ways. These gap-fill exercises are primarily used as reading material but the students can also practice their speaking skills by debating each piece of news. Most of them are quite controversial and students tend to have strong opinions about these issues which is great! Furthermore, the exercises can also be sent as homework (if you have students who ask for some extra prep to practice at home these are really convenient). I particularly like how easy these are to set as cover material. The cover teachers can easily identify the task and see what it is to be achieved by the students. You can even ask them to translate specific sentences or paragraphs from the texts. The amount of time it took me to prepare this resource is going to be worth it since it can be used for various purposes. All in all great to review grammar and vocabulary. Files included: • Colourful PowerPoint presentation (Keys included) with an interactive menu • Printable Student’s handout • Printable Teacher’s copy with answers All the topics included (see the menu’s image) are those required for AQA’s Spanish (7692).

I hope you find it useful.

A pdf with pictures of adorable animals wearing different garments with the purpose of revising the vocabulary of clothing and animals.

This is a PowerPoint presentation created to revise Part 1 of the Spanish Speaking exam with my A2 class based on the rapper Kanye West. Students have to decide if they want to defend happy Kanye's side or sad Kanye's side. You will find a speaking card for each topic and I added two blank templates so you can add your questions if you feel like adding some more. Examination board: AQA > Spanish (2695)

I was lucky enough to find a story I can relate to most of the topics covered in the AQA A2 exam. It is some info about a place called Auroville (in India) and the idea seems fascinating to me and fortunately my students liked it too so feel free to have a look and use it in your lessons if you find it useful. There is a bit of everything: Short intro, Reading, Listening (+transcription), Speaking, Writing + some activities. Topics that can be included: ENVIRONMENT, THE MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY, CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL ISSUES. And for that reason I think it is perfect for a quick revision. Comments always welcomed!

A whole lesson for the year 11 on the topic of food. Help and solutions included in the notes within the PPT.

This is a 1 page document created with the aim of helping students revising for the cultural topic that we were studying this year: El coronel no tiene quien le escriba. A brief list of questions, some important quotes and a list of the characters.

A brief presentation so students can revise the basics about "la météo". The teacher will ask: Quel temps fait-il? and the students will have to guess depending on what they see on each slide. The slides are followed by the right answer although there are more than one option in some cases. For example: Il y a du soleil/Il fait beau.

A brief presentation so students can revise the basics about "el tiempo". The teacher will ask: ¿Qué tiempo hace? and the students will have to guess depending on what they see on each slide. The slides are followed by the right answer although there are more than one option in some cases. For example: Hace sol/hace buen tiempo.

A wonderful cultural project is the foundation for this lesson where students can practice their listening and speaking skills, do some translation, debate… and all this while working on the topics of the environment, immigration and the multicultural society. I love starting this lesson with… Today, we are going to a fancy restaurant in the middle of Paris. I hope your students engage with this lesson at least as much as my students did.

Postcards still exist and these are one of those things I would not like to see as a thing of the past any time soon. It was always lovely to receive one from your friends and family while they were abroad or also when you were the one away from your loved ones. It could be a great activity to write some words and decorate this printable as a way to revise the topic of holidays for example or perhaps these could be handy if you want to create an exchange with another school or already have one. This is just the base. Some other options are: Imagine you have been on holiday in Spain and you are writing to a friend about it. Imagine you have won a prize and you are spending an all-included trip in Spain. Imagine you are a local Spaniard who is writing a friend (who soon will be visiting you) to inform him/her about all the amazing plans you have made for him/her. Imagine you are going to slip into a bottle a message written in this postcard and then you will toss the bottle into the ocean. You can also present other messages that have been found in other bottles and make them translate them into the target language. Use it to decorate your classroom, etc. Feel free to add any more ideas in the reviews section! I hope you find this resource useful.
