BEFORE EXAMS AQA GCSE Spanish writing workshop which emphasises on the 90 word question, building up on basic vocab and structures. It is thought to be done in pairs and the timings are very restricted to make candidates stay on their toes and think of the quickest best possible answers. 1 hour lesson advised. It encourages candidates to create a checklist before starting their writing and remind themselves what to include. Credits: the two 90 words tasks that feature here are taken from Kerboodle.com .
