AQA GCSE Spanish (NEW SPEC 8692) – 30-Minute Writing Exam Revision Lesson
Give your Year 11 class a confidence-boosting, mark-focused recap of the AQA GCSE Spanish Writing paper in exactly 30 minutes — no prep, no photocopying, just project and teach. **You also get the 45 minutes one which includes some practise afterwards.
Built for the NEW AQA specification (8692), this teacher-led lesson walks students through every question type they’ll face and the exact habits that win marks: covering every bullet point, showing off a range of tenses, justifying opinions, and leaving time to check. It’s pitched for Foundation and Higher together, so it works with mixed classes.
Every slide is timed and includes brief teacher notes, so the 30 minutes flow without you having to plan a thing. The slides are fully editable if you’d like to adapt examples to your group.
