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.

After a big success last year I am sharing my GCSE Speaking Toolkit. This Powerpoint contains an introduction to the WJEC Unit 1 speaking exam, working memory and six functional chunks along with usability conditions, worked examples, translations, valid alternatives and what the chunk seeks to achieve (references to the past, present, future, subjunctive, easy idioms etc). I made this due to post-mock analysis revealing a lack of complex structures and now introduce it early in the GCSE.
