This is a second instalment of stimulus cards and general questions for the preparation of the oral AQA exam (the first instalment, for Los valores tradicionales y modernos, was also published via TES ).
This 15 page booklet includes a very brief description of the exam and the mark scheme for the first part of the exam. It has 8 stimulus cards with question types similar to those in the exam, general questions on the three subtopics and two pages of stretch and challenge statements that can be used for oral or written responses.
I have not included a list of questions starters, which I included in the booklet on Los valores tradicionales y modernos, as I would not want you to buy the same content again. I did however think it necessary to include a brief description of the exam structure and mark scheme so that your students have a quick reference guide.
I hope you like the work and it makes your teaching easier. I welcome any feedback at this site or privately at: bgp@stbrn.ac.uk. Many thanks for your support.
This is a new set of cards for the topic of La inmigración, for the new AQA (slightly different to the old one in content!). The cards touch upon long lasting issues such as "La fuga de cerebros" as well as more recent aspects, such as Trump's proposals to deal with illegal inmigration in the USA. The questions are followed by general questions and a game to improve improvisation and fluency (with instructions).
You can also purchase the revision notes in my shop.They will be useful to prepare the cards.
If you like this series, please visit my shop as I have published sets of cards, questions, games AND REVISION notes for each of the AL1 units too.
PLEASE leave a review, your feedback is very important to me. Happy teaching and learning, Blanca
This compilation of cards includes sub-themes such as the exile of children during the Civil War, bringing down Franco's statues, the economic boom during Franco times, Letizia as a plebeian, etc., in one word, as much variety as possible, all within range! The general questions are followed by a selection of photographs to be used as preparation for presentations, or as a starting point for the IRP. I feel at this point of the course, students should be able to work from visual stimuli on their own!
I have also published a set of revision notes to accompany the cards (if you deem it necessary).
Please leave a comment if you purchase this resource. Your feedback is very helpful to me.
Happy teaching and learning! Blanca

A collection of exam style short activities to accompany the video “España inicios siglo XX”, available in youtube. The exercises are varied: T/F/NM; multiple choice; translation, etc. The worksheet include the transcript. A second worksheet includes the answers to the exercises.
This activity is ideal to introduce the play “La casa de Bernarda Alba” but also as a listening/reading activity for the topic of “Monarquías and Dictaduras”.
I hope it is useful. Please leave a review. Gracias.
These are two model documents outlining the 2 year course.
They include:
-a CALENDAR breakdown of the topics- week by week.
-a model breakdown LESSON BY LESSON.
The documents are designed with the AQA Board in mind, but easily adaptable to another board.
Both documents are in word, so that you can adapt to your needs.
Kindly respect copyright.
Any comments welcome.
Some quick reading exercises to learn about, revise or test basic knowledge of Spanish society In Lorca's time. The content has been adapted from Hodder's guide.
This is my 18-19 Scheme of Work for the first year of the new A level Spanish (from 2016). I enclose the document I give students too.
I have also published the second year for free in TES.
The grade boundaries breakdown is based on the 2018 exams.
Please note I teach the book in the first year, to tie it up with the theme of gender equality.
This is a list of statements on the topic of Law and Order. Cut them individually and place in an envelope. Students take it in turns to argue for or against the statement.
It is one of my many carousel activities during revision time.
Two tables with grade boundaries based on the exam in June 24. Great for use in class and also for mock calculations.
I hope it is useful. Happy teaching.
Feel free to browse my account for many other A Level resources:)
Cut the statements individually and place facing down. Students take it in turns to talk about each statement for a set time.

This is a simple starter activity that worked wonders with my students. At the beginning of the subtopic I showed them this slide with two contrasting photos. They had to think of ideas in pairs in answer to the bullet points, which are differentiated by colour. Then, we shared them, and I expanded the vocabulary and more ideas. Afterwards, I explained the importance of these type of communication present in small towns and villages in the Hispanic world, parallel to the word of social media.
