I’m looking to add to this with a lesson on Spanish film titles.

A lesson on some of the controversies surrounding the World Cup in Qatar. Students will learn the vocabulary for some of the issues, compare them with a comparative grid and then write whether they are for or against.

Hopefully this formats okay although I suspect the font (New Atten Round) is protected. If it looks awful then let me know and I’ll re-upload with print screens of each slide pasted over the slides themselves. I have been teaching es bueno que sea (where bueno can be substituted for any adjective) for a few years now and it has been successful so decided it was time to take it a small step further.

A reading resource with varied positive opinions about Lorca followed by a comprehension question grid and a grammar search.

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.

The Andalusian report containts many accounts from immigrants in Spain which I will use as readings.
