A side quest of our Madrid trip was photographing street signs with accessible language ranging from easy to hard. The result is this resource! This was inspired by a similar resource by @MrFrancisMFL who created a Bilbao version a few years ago! Ideal for a pre or post-Madrid trip lesson for those trip attendees and those who didn’t make it.

25 global issues and 21 infinitive verb phrases to introduce potential solutions. This will fit into a series of lessons in which we look at obligation structures such as deberíamos/hay que/tenemos que. Potentially even the present subjunctive

First person verbs related to breal/lunch time activities. Lesson 1 in a sequence featuring time phrases, sequencers and justified opinions.

Trying to develop subject knowledge on an unfamiliar topic I have combined information gleaned from a research paper titled Las aportaciones positivas de la inmigración : miradas desde Andalucía and the widely referenced 1955 study* by UNESCO. The result is this resource containing 35 verbs with a matching up task of important verbs and the pirate game. The Andalusian report containts many accounts from immigrants in Spain which I will use as readings. We did a diamond 9 rank activity which I’ll follow up with a speaking and maybe some kind of classification of the benefits into categories (economic, societal, local etc) Will possibly follow up with a reading on public opinion and response writing: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/opini-n-p-blica-sobre-la-inmigraci-n-12582405
