7 pages looking at sentence structure/ how to incorporate higher level language and 2+ tenses
,
I have developed a formula in line with the AQA specification (requirement advice for the Grade 5 and above) - this formula is easy to follow and helps student ensure their answers are developed well.
It includes formulas for 4 tenses (present, imperfect, future, conditional) which are easy to follow and covers multiple topics (mi barrio/ el medio-ambiente/ la salud) and the activities increase in challenge, there are also tasks throughout that get students to practise each formula.

tener, ir, ser, ayudar, hacer in 6 tenses
(present, imperfect, preterite, simple future, proper future, conditional)
Speaking/ listening pair activity included
plus dominoes which could be used on the next lesson to reinforce/ check retention.
* Inductive starter so students work out how the speaking exam works (Information search activity)
* Analysis of common issues before the exam - reflection opportunities for students to assess how they will sufficiently prepare for the exam
* Experiment which proves revision aids vocabulary recall (2 options for the task, either an online resource to do as a class OR pair/ independent dominoes with useful photocard vocabulary - this includes prepositions of place vocabulary)
* Example photo card for students to prepare as they would in the real exam
* Some support on how to structure their bullet points (I have invented a formula which helps students easily develop answers with opinions, reasons, development and further tenses)
* Links to a great online resource which students may use at home to revise vocab further
Present, present subjunctive, imperfect, conditional and future perfect tenses.
Handout to explain the use for each one - with HABER in all tenses.
Interactive lesson with a focus on inductive learning/ practise.
I have done this primarily with A level but have also taught it to some MA students for GCSE. the resource works really well because it encourages them to conjugate a range of vocabulary in all perfect tenses and allows students to work in their books but also orally due to the competitive sections of the lesson.
PPT explains format of the speaking exam (all 3 parts)
focus on you form verbs and question words
opportunities to conjugate verbs into the you form and create questions
revision activity to revise family/ town vocabulary
2nd lesson is more practise on Q and A with a photocard to prepare
