A set of five end of term quizzes for Spanish students of different abilities / levels.

These resources can be used to cover the topic of healthy and unhealthy lifestyle. (They follow my previous unit about food). The the first of the two Notebook presentations (22 slides) focus on healthy and unhealthy habits, in the past and in the present. It is followed by a secure presentation (26 slides) about giving advice and the consequences of not being healthy. The activities include revision of different tenses, negative sentences and expressions with the infinitive (hay que + infinitive). The two presentations are supported by a variety of worksheets that can be used together with the presentations or on their own. There are three photo cards (part of the new GCSE speaking test) and two short translations.

A set of resources to prepare the students to write and talk about their school and their time table. The first notebook presentation (Mi horario - 17 slides) includes work on school subjects, opinions and a quick tense revision). The second one (Mi colegio) is 22 slides long, and it includes information about the school premises, rules (practising "se puede" and "hay que" + infinitive), a quick revision of the conditional to talk about your ideal school and a quick revision of the future simple. The presentations are supported by 6 worksheets.

A (very large) set of resources to cover all aspects of the topic of jobs and careers, guiding the students towards beign able to write and speak about the topic using a variety of tenses (preterite, imperfect, the expression "tenía que" + infinitive and future simple), as well as the relative and other complex structures. The set also includes an introduction to the subjunctive (with expressions such as "No creo que" + subjuntive). All supported by 15 corresponding worksheets that also include reading activities.

A couple of lessons to prepare the topics of daily routine and reflexive verbs.

A very comprehensive set of resources to study the topic of the weather in Spanish. Suitable for students of all levels, the presentation starts with simple vocabulary activities and little games (Simon says, Battleship, human dominoes) and it builds up from there (weather forecasts, leisure activities in different kinds of weather). It also includes a range of reading activities to do with the weather and the climate in Spain. Additionally I have included several reading and writing activities about Spanish geography to provide the students with a better understanding of Spanish geographical features (and at the end of the topic they will even believe you when you say that it does indeed snow in Spain; quite a lot, actually!)

Two practice writing papers (one foundation, one higher) following the format of the new GCSE writing exam. The foundation paper includes four questions (describe the photo, 40 words question, translation and 90 words question) and the higher paper includes three (90 words question, 150 words question and translation). The papers focus on Theme 1 of the new spec (Identity and culture) and they cover family and relationships, technology and leisure. I have also included two feedback sheets (one foundation, now higher) that include"check-lists" (based on the AQA mark scheme for writing) to provide quick, personalised feedback for each of the questions. The check lists provide the students with feedback on what went well (WWW) and what they need to do to improve further (TIF). The resource also includes an explanation of the requirements of the Foundation and the Higher writing papers and a copy of the mark scheme for each question.
