Edexcel Spanish GCSE - Module 1 Knowledge Booklet

Back in 2020 - 2021, I created the first round of knowledge booklets for the GCSE Spanish. Since then, I’ve taught some French, taught on the previous specification, taught primarily KS3 and now this year, I am back to teaching GCSE Spanish and on the specification. With that, I was inspired to update the knowledge booklets and made them compliment the new Edexcel GCSE Spanish, alongside the exercise book too and looking at each module rather than overall topics.

The knowledge booklet

I am pleased to say and share with the languages’ community eight knowledge booklets; one for each module. Each booklet starts with all ‘I can’ statements that I feel cover all the areas under the GCSE Edexcel Spanish specification. There then are four columns for the pupils to use as a RAG rating. This will hopefully help guide their revision a lot easier than before and they will be able to see the statements they may need to refer to and do some extra work about. For each statement, either half a page or a whole page has been created with essential vocabulary and structures for the pupils to refer to and know what they are expected to use. To link with dual coding, I have used Noun Project https://thenounproject.com/ to find simple images that mirror the vocabulary in-hand.
