Included is: 1) The eggs themselves with text box descriptions - stick the descriptions to the back of the eggs and laminate them! 2) A table so that you can document all the news words learnt via egg hatching, this could be used to make a cool display. 3) A teachers note explaining how it all works.

I've print screened the slides and pasted them above the original content.

Lots of people from varying nationalities with varying levels of education and experience. They all have a reason for emigrating, some due to war and some due to retirement. Extra information is provided for each person to get students thinking (hopefully) I asked my class to deny entry to four of them and explain why.

A nice way to start the lesson and get the class focused. First activity is a simple 'spot the odd one out' followed by the same slides copied but with the answers, including pictures. Second activity is a 'what's behind the box' activity.

A pre-exam worksheet to revise everything we’ve covered in class.

The idea for the personality test came about after I saw a similar resource on Twitter. I want my GCSE students to go beyond the obvious when describing themselves. I’ve uploaded a reading as well which came first in this mini-series. We then became very bad recruitment consultants and matched 20 candidates to the jobs from the reading. I haven’t exploited the 24 candidates to the fullest yet, there’ s a lot to unpack there.

For the original rules please read: https://tinyurl.com/yc3ks8tu You will need the adapt the PowerPoint template depending on the language you want to drill/practice. In consultation with year 9 and 11 today we have created some new rules as explained at the bottom of the worksheet. You can now pick two icons from the blue box. Bank robber - Rob somebody’s bank and transfer directly to your bank. This can be blocked with a shield. Lottery ticket - Anybody with a ticket is in the draw for an amount of your choosing whenever you decided to do a mini-raffle with a random number generator. Bank interest - Announced at the end of the game anybody with this icon can multiply their final score by somewhere between 1.1 - 2.0 to be decided by the teacher. Prison - Send a classmate to prison for three rounds. They cannot unlock their boxes during these rounds. Sell items - With this icon you can sell your mirror/shield to the highest bidder.

Over the years I have collected press cuttings from the website todocoleccion. These have never been organised but I’ve put a few together now and highlighed what I think are key phrases and useful bits of information. Obviously there is so much more you can do with this given the texts themselves but as a first lesson I’m going to get my students to build a person profile for Pedro Almodóvar using information gleaned from the multiple texts to find out about him, what makes him tick, what he likes style wise etc etc I have no idea which magazines these belong to so I’m weary about the copyright here but it’s for an educational purpose so I’m hoping that it’s all okay.

Based on this article: https://elpais.com/elpais/2017/12/12/buenavida/1513075923_947867.html Comments translation gets more difficult as your progress. For a challenge start at the bottom and for support start at the top.

A rather tricky task putting together a family tree based off of people’s explanations of how they are related to Nuria. A vocab bank on page 2 will help. Write the name of each family member in the box on the tree (or beside). Colour code the box according to male/female. Some boxes will not be filled. A perfect task before moving onto creating your own family trees. Note: Some family vocabuary has been left out of the box on page 2. Going over step-parents and siblings will be essential.

A grid to revise some thematic content. In column one students clarify what they know about the theme in English.
