Attached is a booklet I have made to help my students revise for the GCSE Spanish role play. It is for Foundation Level as this is what I am currently teaching to two groups. All of our students do a GCSE MFL and in these late stages we have settled on who should do Foundation. To help them, I have tried to break things down into chunks for them to learn the key vocabulary with Quizlet links to support – they seem to find these useful. There is a set of past paper role plays in the second half of the booklet. In practical terms, I have copied the booklet on A5 size to make it a bit more portable. I would be interested to hear any feedback on what people do to prepare students for the role play, in particular.
UPDATED APRIL 2023 – I have put two reading comprehension booklets together based on similar types of questions that have been appearing in the AQA GCSE exams. Skills are the key focus of the booklets, but it is good for students to experience different forms of questioning used in the exams. I have been working on a PowerPoint to accompany the Foundation version as I only have Foundation groups this year. This is saved in the same area below, but it is very much work in progress and will improve as I work through. Please note that all of the exercises in the booklets are taken from past papers and could include material you may could be using for assessments. You would need to remove those sections. Beware!
I am sharing a homework task I have just put together for my A level Spanish students. I am going back over some of the topic areas we have previously covered. Summary skills have been an area they have struggled with, so I have been using homework to give them frequent practice. Hope this is of use.
My A level students often struggle with pronouns in Spanish – direct, indirect and prepositional. Although we have covered all of these and done practice work, I have made the attached guide to draw everything together. I thought that going through all of this in one go could be a bit much. Sometimes I see them losing the will! So, I have split it up with a speaking activity in the middle discussing the use of pronouns in the trans community. Seems relevant and provides some necessary speaking practice.
