Has a checklist of advised ingredients to include in the written task, as well as lots of vocab, suggested phrases and vocabulary. Ideal to use in class when completing writing activities.

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!

There are 6 sections, for the 6 different question types in the new exam, and each section has a sample question for each sub-topic (with vocab taken from the AQA specification vocab list). There are translations (sentences and paragraphs) from English into French for each sub-topic as well.
This will last students for their entire GCSE course, or can be given in Year 11 for revision.

Once the students have prepared answers to the longer tasks, they could also be used to help with preparation for the speaking exam.
