Boletín is a weekly A Level Spanish newsletter. Every uniquely designed edition includes three topical texts, a vocabulary search and an A Level exam style question. Apologies in advance that upon downloading the latest edition you’ll see that every prior edition also downloads. At the time of creation TES allowed users to pick and choose which files they could download, this feature has since been removed.

A new overhauled version of this resource is now available here. It covers every single grammar point from the AQA, Edexecel and WJEC specifications and is designed for classroom and independent study.

A booklet ideal for GCSE French revision, transition or in class teaching. A page per grammar point with two practice exercises per grammar item. This is an editable PDF meaning when opened with Adobe Reader students will be able to write their answers in the boxes provided and save and send to you. If you have any issues let us know. A massive thank you to @saraherowland for teaching herself InDesign just to get the French down for this edition!

TES keep listing this on their featured pages but I haven’t updated this resource since 2019 so it’s very much in need of a refresh. 365 days of knowledge for year 7 - 11, completely editable and free. This resource is for use starting September 2019. It includes: 52 word of the weeks in four languages Daily readings thanks to @Gingerella Weekly IQ and logic puzzles On This Day history for every day of the year which is updated periodically by myself. Daily attendance percentage Daily Behaviour for Learning points External links to Form Time Ideas literacy and numeracy and BBC News. GeoGuessr geography based guessing game. Designed with help from Freepik All credits on last slide. If you have any corrections, particularly with the historical facts then please get in touch. I used multiple sources and sometimes the dates given were contradictory. If you feel like there is a historical fact that is essential and missing then comment below and I will amend and re-upload at some point in the near future. The idea is to expose students to as much history as possible from around the world. Update 1: Year 11 Register and Read added with thanks to @realgingerella Update 2: Geo Guesser on a Tuesday instead of Scrabble which was quite boring. Update 3: Ebbinghaus curve of forgetting redesigned to make more student friendly. Update 4: Redesign of Thursday maths section.

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

This ambitious 140 page print-on-demand Spanish Grammar Workbook covers every grammar point from main exam board specifications and goes beyond as well! It is my attempt at distilling everything into one workbook which will last the entire GCSE course (potentially starting in as early as year 7/8 and lasting into year 12). The workbook is designed to be used both in the classroom and at home and assumes zero prior knowledge, I often use it for feedback and providing interventions. The cover was designed by the brilliant @languageswithmaddy! All answers included, please leave a review!

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

Pre-reading vocab builder Mini-sentence builder 1st to 3rd person sentence manipulation Listen and follow along, pause and say next word Paragraph headings discussion in pairs/groups Practice questions

Three pre-reading activities to build up to a small reading. Lessons before this include solutions, the present subjunctive and the issues themselves.

Cities and things to do

It’s not cheap I know but have a look at the preview copy and you’ll understand. Please leave a review if you purchase! Resource includes: Character analysis Themes Social and historical context Director and cinematic techniques Quote index Essay aides Character analysis A 23 page section which focuses on Ofelia, Vidal, Mercedes, Carmen, Ferreiro and the Faun. Each character has an analysis sheet, an adjective continuum with character specific adjectives and their antonyms and a follow up writing task. There is an infinitive verb classification ask to build knowledge of the film and character specific vocabulary and evidence and a whole page dedicated to answering character relationship style questions. Plenty of room for writing practice and feedback. Social and historical context This section is centered around a reading task featuring texts on 1944, las mujeres, la resistencia, la dictadura, el olvido y el fascismo. There is a pre-reading vocabulary builder and a post-reading comprehension question task as well as links to further independent study. Following this a page on how to evaluate cultural and societal contexts includes evaluative language to be used in essays and a follow up task in which students try to place the message/opinion of the director and evaluate it with evidence from the film. They will do this in relation to el franquismo, la posguerra, la desigualdad, la rebelión, las mujeres y la obediencia.* Director and cinematic techniques This 13-page section starts with a working glossary of both cinematic and director techniques, students translate the words as they appear in the following pages. We then take a tour of the sound used in the film, when it was used and for what purpose (all whilst building writing practice) and then an extended reading on director techniques with a follow up reading true/false/correct in Spanish style exam question. Following that is a match-up of symbols and a nice activity on the fairytale elements in the film called Making a Fairytale. Each element described with a small reading and gap-fill exercise. Lastly, a section called Breaking a Fairytale will get students thinking about how the film diverges from the path set out by traditional fairytales. If that wasn’t enough we then go on to explain the What/How/Why acronym and students will get the opportunity to practise their analysis skills using evidence from the film. A final section focuses on the use of allegory in the three Faun’s tests, an open ended task based on the allegory in the story Ofelia tells her younger brother in the womb and a final introductory task to essay writing.* and more but I’ve hit the character limit on here.

I took bits and bobs from other PPTs and thought I'd upload my own version. To be used with Mira GCSE pages 36/37
