Hola a todos:

I have planned these three Powerpoints to teach the following content:

• PEEL paragraph structure
• Difference between “ser” and “estar”
• Indirect speech: how to transform direct quotes into indirect quotes
• Conditional clauses, particularly, those containing a verb in the Imperfect and Pluperfect of Subjunctive
• 3 Model essays answering past exam-questions from June 2019, January 2024 and January 2025 (Edexcel).

1. Machismo and the ser/estar distinction

The PowerPoint with 32 slides contains the following items:

1. A grammatical explanation of “ser” and “estar” based on Silvagni’s three way distinction as well as my work from an article presented in the International ASELE conference (2023).
2. A exercise to practice when to use “ser” and “estar” in 25 sentences which talk about the play.
3. An exam question on machismo (Edexcel, June 2019) and the steps I followed to organise a draft and how it looks in my essay. The whole essay and the mark scheme are included.
4. An adapted exam question for students to write.
5. Answer key is provided.

2. The role of men and the indirect speech
The PowerPoint with 34 slides contains the following items:

1. An exam-style question (Unit 2) about Lorca: author’s intention of the play, main and secondary characters and the plot.
2. The difference between the direct and indirect speech
3. A exercise to transform between 16 direct quotes and indirect quotes so that they use the Present and Imperfect of Subjuntive.
4. Examples to provide context for the quotes in an essay to make their essays more meaningful
5. An exam question on the role of men and how they are responsible about Yerma’s situation (January 2024). The whole essay I wrote (not AI) and the mark scheme are included.
6. Un breve quiz sobre la obra.
7. Answer key is provided.

3. Yerma and Juan’s marriage and conditional clauses
The PowerPoint with 24 slides contains the following items:

1. An exam-style question (Unit 2) about Yerma’s plot.
2. An explanation about conditional clauses
3. Exercises for forming hypotheses using the Imperfect and Pluperfect of Subjuntive in the context of Yerma.
4. An exam question on the challenges faced by Yerma and Juan, along with a critical analysis about who is responsible. (Edexcel Board, January 2025). The whole essay I wrote (not AI generated) and the mark scheme are included.
5. A short quiz on the play using conditional clauses.
6. Answer key is provided.

Do not forget your feedback. I will appreciate it. Muchas gracias. :)
