3 differentiated sentence builders I created to get students speaking about: Kapitel 3 - Was machst du in deiner Freizeit? Kapitel 4 - Was gibt es in deinem Klassenzimmer? Kapitel 4 - Was gibt es in deiner Stadt? These have proved successful with my students, as they haven’t not only aided with speaking tasks, but they’ve loved to refer to them for writing tasks as well, as they know exactly what to do in order to produce high quality sentences. Each builder includes step by step ideas on how to extend sentences to go from a grade B to A*.

A nice differentiated pair speaking task where student A and B take turns to test each other in the understanding of topic vocabulary. Suitable for the GCSE topic of special occasions and festivities. Student A has a set of 15 sentences to review the topic of special occasions and festivals that student B needs to answer correctly in order to move up the ladder, one at a time. A has the correct translations of these sentences. Student B has another set of 15 sentences (with the meaning as well) to test A.

A very straightforward ppt which covers the relevant language to teach Module 3.4 Durante el recreo from the Viva 1 textbook. Ppt introduces a range of phrases to talk about what you do at break, a reading activity, listening from the book, speaking and finally a closing writing paragraph. You can buy the longer version of this on my shop: Viva 1 - Module 3.4 Durante el recreo + Que haces en clase?, which is a fusion of this sub-unit plus Module 2.2 from the Mira 1 textbook: Que haces en clase?, which I created to stretch the most able, as not only it equips them with things to say they do at break, but also in different lessons. A good way to end the module if you have time to teach this. Check out the bottom notes on each slide - you will often find instructions to tasks.

A very simple lesson containing 5 mini-activities to do in pairs based around 2 TV guides to exploit this type of authentic text. It’s highly based on the textbook but extending it. It also includes a British TV guide example to work on speaking. As this is done towards the end of the module, I’ve included 2 noughts and crosses sheets for students to do in pairs and thus review vocabulary from module 2.3 Prefiero las comedias. PPT contains a total of 8 slides (1 of them being the answer sheet to the noughts and crosses game).

quick interactive activity created on ppt to practise grocery shopping (food vocabulary), and paying at the shop (numbers 0-19). Everything is explained within the ppt. suitable for any age learners who’re learning Spanish at a beginner/intermediate level.

With this resource, students will be reinforcing common grammatical points they get mixed up: personal pronouns: s/he, we, they high frequency reflexives, stem-changing verbs and irregular verbs verbs in the 1st and 3rd person, singular and plural por/para ser/estar preterite, present, future & conditional haber, ser & tener in the 3rd person singular Answers included; some boards require students not only to highlight but also to write the correct answer (e.g. in por/para). A popular resource among my students, as it’s an alternative way of doing revision for which you just need a bunch of different highlighters.

These are good to do as starters before a module exam is going to take place, or as revision before end of year exams. PPT contains 5 slides, 2 for module 1 - mis vacaciones (I did this twice in the year so I designed two versions); 1 for module 2 - todo sobre mi vida; 1 for module 3 - ¡a comer!; and 1 for module 4 - ¿qué hacemos? They all include items from each sub-unit within the module, ensuring everything is revisited. Each slide contains 12 questions ranging from very easy - easy - challenging - difficult for students to translate into either language, or come up with a short explanation / phrase. The harder the question, the more points they can take if they get it right. The idea is for them to do it at the back of their book / on a MWB. Answers appear on click. Allow at least 15 minutes of the lesson for it to be done properly.

Ppt presentation I created to teach the present continuous for KS4 students, however it can be easily adapted to any ability group due to the nature of the activities. it provides an explanation of what it is (uses), time indicators, formation (endings) and main irregular forms. It then includes 5 different activities: 2 controlled practice activities (translation); 2 guided practice activities (building sentences from an image and sentence completion (differentiated) and 1 freer practice activity (students to think creatively and build sentences using the present continuous based on stimuli dice; it allows them to produce different outcomes, as it’s an open-ended activity). Answers, where applicable, are included.
