This is a display ideal for the languages area corridor or for a classroom that includes 22 A3 slides with lots of ideas for Alevel students to study and revise independently for their language courses. It includes tips on how to revise more effectively using practice testing, flashcards, a study schedule, memrise, a study group, active recall and many more.
This mat is ideal for those students of Alevel doing Like water for chocolate.
Contains lots of grammar and higher level essay phrases to maximise the language marks in Paper 3 (writing).
These are 2 series of resources, one for Y12 and one for Year 13 to train students to deal with summaries.
The Year 12 includes a Reading Assessment (version A and B) with 5 questions in each one:
Reading comprehension with answers in Spanish
Synonyms
Summary
T, F, NM
Translations into Spanish
After this assessment, we did a Summaries training session to get better at it.
The Year 13 one includes a power point + students notes in which students practice changing from the I/we persons to the he/she/they persons. The aim of this lesson is to get better at manipulating the language.
This mat is for those studying La Casa de BA. in the new Spanish Alevel.
It includes quotes, connectives, opinion phrases, intensifiers, idioms, subjunctive phrases and if clauses. Also, verbs that are followed by a preposition. I have tried to select verbs and idioms that apply to the play so that students can improve their essays.
It would be useful for the old curriculum A2 students too.
At the back, there are verb tables with all the regular conjugations to help students conjugate the verbs.
Varied worksheets on the topic of Pan's Lab that include activities about the director, Devil's Backbone, themes, symbols, references to other stories, characters, a gameboard and some questions for the oral. I have also included the cover of the booklet that my students have. I added the pdf documents and also the word documents for other teachers to adapt if wanted.
Aquí os dejo una “mat” que he hecho para los alumnos de AS que ya pronto tienen su examen. También puede servir para los de A2 (he arreglado un par de erratas que se me colaron).
Incluye:
- citas de los personajes
- if clauses
- por / para
- idioms
- sequencing words
- gustar verbs
Por detrás he incluido las conjugaciones del indicativo y el presente / imperfecto de subjuntivo.
Here is the unit I put together for my students to work on if clauses.
You will see the power point I used in class and the student worksheet with exercises.
There are 2 assessments attached too.
One is only on if clauses and it retrieves Y12 vocab for Family.
The second one, it is a verbs + preposition assessment and it retrieves if clauses.
In every grammar test we do we ask students to do retrieval of another topic they did either in Y12 or in Y13.
Finally you will find the MAT they have.

This resource is a market place activity in which students have to work in groups in a carrousel style.
Every group has the vocab sheet to gather vocab and create their own glossary plus a reading comprehension sheet to fill in whilst they have the menu. It is important that students divide the work up: some can look up the vocabulary whilst the others can answer the questions. Or, they could all spend some minutes looking up the words first and then answering the questions. You can use the stopwatch website and its timers so that students can see how much time they have left.
The aim is that they read the menus and that they get to learn about other countries and their famous dishes whilst consolidating some of the Food vocab they learnt in previous lessons.
There are menus for a Basque restaurant, a Catalan restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and the last one is a menu from Costa Rica.
This activity takes up the whole hour (if you get every group to look at 2 menus) and I used it at the end of the Food Unit.
You can also use the menus for Role Plays the next lesson.
If your groups do 2 menus then you can get your students to talk to the rest about the food they learnt that people eat in those countries.
I used this activity with a Y7 class and it worked very well. Students were engaged and they loved the role plays we did the following lesson.
As a follow up activity you could ask them to design their own menus of other Spanish speaking countries. They could use the computers to do some research and then do their designs.
This booklet is a 25 pages booklet that includes the regular and irregulars that students could have to face using the mnemonics WEIRDO and DISHES. It also includes the subjunctive stem changing verbs, verbs that have a spelling change and IR verbs. Preview does not show much of it but there is plenty of practice.
You will also be able to find the Juanes song, A Dios le pido and conjunctions that need the subjunctive.
The practice that students have in this booklet includes verb drills for regular and irregular verbs, gapfills (AS style) and translations.
Also attached the power point with the Subjunctive Phrases you can find in the booklet and the answer to those match ups.
Power point comes with two plenaries: a heads and tails and a Twitter one.
NEW: Subjunctive Assessment. I have added an assessment to test students at the end of the unit.
NEW: I have updated this booklet in January 2021 and have added the answers. Have also updated the power point.
Here is a mat I have made to revise those tricky words like pronouns, demonstratives, relative pronouns and other bits that students find very tricky.
Hopefully students will be able to improve their translation skills after completing the series of exercises I have prepared in the sheet.
The sheet includes about 7 exercises (3 pages) and the answers for the teacher.
Actividad de correción de frases para mejorar la "accuracy" en los ensayos.
He añadido las respuestas.

Mat that students can use to revise ser and estar and when doing exercises as a reference or when studying the rules . It includes time phrases and both ser and estar conjugated in different Indicative tenses.
Here is a bundle with the 4 resources I have made for my students for the topic of El Laberinto. They are the resources I have added to TES over the last couple of months. You save 52% by getting them using this bundle.
This resource is a vocabulary booklet for students of Alevel that do Pan´s Lab.
I have recently updated this booklet and have opted to translate the words into English. This way the students can use it as a revision tool.
It includes a detailed list of vocabulary for the different scenes in the film.
It also includes an information sheet for essay structure and a section for parents/carers to fill in when testing their children.
I have printed it in A5 and my students have absolutely loved it. I made it for our AS last year but gave a copy to the A2 too. The A2 have found it useful to revise the vocab.
Goes really well with my Pan´s Lab MAT, which you can find in my shop :) on TES. You will find the link in my blog :) https://recursossj.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/alfombrilla-de-el-laberinto-del-fauno.html
This is a VOCABULARY booklet with HIGH FREQUENCY vocabulary that I have noticided is used in the Listening and Reading exam (AQA).
What I have done is to go through past papers and annotate the words and categories of words that tend to repeat. For example, connectives, nationalities, crime, poverty, infinitives, numerals, jobs, etc. I have then added extra words so that there is a full list. For example, in the section of “jobs” I have added words like científico, periodista, astronauta, hombre de negocios which have appeared in previous papers but you will find a total of 2 slides full of vocab for jobs.
This booklet is a revision tool for students. Teachers can use it to set regular vocab learning and test students as well (it has a scores section at the back).
This booklet prints really well in A5.
This is a mat that contains all key grammar aspects studied in Alevel.
Indicative tenses
Subjunctive tenses
Ser / Estar
Por / Para
Gerunds
Passives
If Clauses
V + prepositions
And lots more!
My students absolutely love it and have it with them all the time. It has become their most valuable reference guide for grammar.
Please, note that the STARS only appear in page 1 and 4. Don’t print those pages. Print pages 2 and 3 and you won’t have the stars.
Also, this is an A3 mat so I would recommend to print with A3 printing settings.
Grammar revision mat for the preterite tense that includes all of the irregulars at the back. Ideal for Alevel students of Spanish. This is my newest version of the mat. At the back it includes: the dirty 11 (tener, saber, poner, poder…), -UCIR, -UIR, -IR stem changing verbs and E-Y (creer, caer…).
It comes with the DISPLAY for the dirty 11 and the tableta de chocolate; (six pack -ser, ir, dar, ver, decir, traer) which we have in class at the front and students can use it to double check their irregulars.
This resource includes 4 translation challenges. One includes 2 connectives challenges and the other one includes 2 tenses challenges.
Answers are provided.
Encourage your students to use more target language with this display :)
