A pre-exam worksheet to revise everything we’ve covered in class.

This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession. This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD. The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings. Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this. All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design. Ollie

A booklet with thematic pages full of IRP ideas as well as linked similar issues. Structured research pages, a vocabulary section and a 2-minute speech draft section. All editable PDFs.

Two pages per character. One page on development, relationships, goals and motivations and a second one containing 17 contrasting adjectives to develop descriptions of characters. I’ve included this free in the Volver bundle I have for sale.

Sentence builder based on the photocard for the GCSE speaking exam. There is vocabulary relating to showing conjecture, introductory sentences, present progressive verbs, connectives and locations.

I’m lucky enough to have a native madrileña in my class. Here is a writing she put together that we turned into a resource for the rest of the class. Thank you PMG! This was a 150-word GCSE question.

Infinitive structures can be a life saver for those students who find conjugations tricky. If you know an infinitive structure for the present, past and future then you can rest assured you are working in three tenses as a minimum. Check out a resource I uploaded years ago on infinitive structures: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12093780

An introduction to DOPs, their placement, common nouns and some structured practice. This is a sample page from my GCSE grammar workbook. An improved edition 2 is coming in Summer.

Just a one page introduction to a few of Lorca’s works.

This is a resource to check how well students have understood the plot and the characters in the book. I recommend that firstly students match up the infinitive structures which are already conjugated in the 3rd person, afterwards use different coloured highlighters to categorise the infinitive verbs by the character which they correspond with. This is an ideal task as a follow up to the character analysis two-page sheet, if a student for example says that Raimunda is fuerte you may ask them ‘how do we know?’ and they have to write a sentence explaining why they think Raimunda is fuerte giving examples from the text, this infinitive structure and verb sheet could form the basis of one of those exemplary points.

A starter activity to check how well students have understood the plot. It does make make you realise as well how many small plot lines are running at the same time. Answers given as well in teacher copy.

Hopefully after making this I will see less aburrido, importante, divertido and interesante. I am working on breadth of vocabulary with my year 11s at the moment and using synonyms and upgrading out adjective use is on the agenda next week. I plan for this 99 adjectives worksheet to form the backbone of the lesson. Update: This is now on version 2, I have now included some really advanced adjectives like fanfarrón, tacaño, hospilatorio, bruto etc

Hopefully this formats okay although I suspect the font (New Atten Round) is protected. If it looks awful then let me know and I’ll re-upload with print screens of each slide pasted over the slides themselves. I have been teaching es bueno que sea (where bueno can be substituted for any adjective) for a few years now and it has been successful so decided it was time to take it a small step further.
