Book review - Printable template

(2)
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!!!
Timers for your presentations

Timers for your presentations

I just needed a simple long-running numeric timer I could display on my slides and since I didn´t find what I was looking for I managed to create my own. In this PowerPoint, you will find some timers that may help your students to stay focused on the task they need to acomplish.

A quick revision exercise on comparatives. Each slide has a question and two options. Students must answer using a comparative. Ex. -¿Quién es más alta? -Creo que Kim es más alta que Cheryl. Contents: 10 PowerPoint slides but you can add as many as you like.

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
Y9 - ¿Qué se puede hacer en tu ciudad? (Speaking)

Y9 - ¿Qué se puede hacer en tu ciudad? (Speaking)

(5)
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!!! :)

A2 Fill in the gaps (36 TEXTS)

A2 Fill in the gaps (36 TEXTS)

(1)
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).

A2 - For and against with Kanye West (Speaking)

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)
Auroville - A2 Revision (Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing)

Auroville - A2 Revision (Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing)

(0)
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!

Y8 - Quel temps fait-il?

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.
