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!!!

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 simple set of speaking cards to practice the IGCSE speaking paper. The photos chosen present different levels of difficulty in order to challenge the students to come up with ideas so as what to do when there is not much in the photo.

A simple PDF about clothing to get the conversation going.

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.

A fun PowerPoint for practising the topic of music with the AS Spanish class. *All songs provided are only short fragments that I use for educational purposes only and the emojis are referenced (brilliant Brazilian artist) so please let me know if there is any issue with the copyright since I am no expert. I hope you find it useful.

I decided to digitalize these doodle slides I created and since they turned out to be pretty handy for me I thought that perhaps I should share them in case they are useful for someone else as well. The slides include shapes such as notebooks, speech bubbles, arrows, folders, tags, signs... I hope they help!

This is the latest Christmas activity I designed for a Spanish B2 lesson. It consists of an article about a gigantic nativity scene that has been built in Alicante not only as part of the Christmas decorations but also as a way to brake a record Guinness and as a touristic attraction. It is a topic perfect for a debate since there are divided opinions about the money spent on this masterpiece. In such difficult time is it a good idea to spend so much money on it or is it a clever touristic strategy that will generate consumption in the area? This is the way I proceed with the activity but this is just a guide so please feel free to use this resource in the best way it fits your students. First, we read the article and then we work on the vocab they find trickier. There is only one tiny thing I do not explain or translate which is the expression of the headline since is part of activity one. After they get the gist of this piece of news, we move on to activity one. The students look for the meaning of this expression on the Internet so they do a bit of independent learning. Here you will find more info on its meaning: Armarse el belén: This expression is used to say that, in a certain situation, there is a mess, chaos, confusion… Source. We can also add as teachers that this expression is not limited to the festive period and it can be commonly heard all year long. Then, you can proceed with the rest of the questions either by doing some speaking or writing with them. The last ones are especially great to practice the conditional tense and you can even add some subjunctive forms if they feel brave enough. Lastly, you can divide the class in groups and organise a debate on the pros and cons of the massive nativity figures. It could be a great opportunity to teach them some expression in order to express their arguments: Me parece que… ¿Cómo es que…? Si fuera tú… Creo que sería Bueno que… Tienes razón, pero… No digo que no, pero…

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!
