The knowledge booklet I am pleased to say and share with the languages’ community three knowledge booklets; one for each topic and one for the grammar and tenses. Each booklet starts with all ‘I can’ statements that I feel cover all the areas under the GCSE AQA 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.

To support all pupils, I have broken their writing tasks down and have guided them through a process of planning. At the first step, pupils need to identify which part of P.P.O.F the bullet points are referring to. Once they have done that, they need to translate the bullet point so they know what they are going to be writing about. The third step is where pupils use the P.P.OF table and spend five minutes planning their written response. I encourage them to write down anything they feel will support them answering the question, as long as it shows the correct element of P.P.OF. In class, once it has been planned out, pupils then create the piece of writing. I have only does this a handful of times with the current YR11s and am seeing progress each time we do it. I am hoping that once we guided this process together, pupils will be able to do it independently and will use it in their exams.
