This clear and thorough workbook will prepare AQA Spanish students for the role play in their GCSE speaking exam.
Students often perform badly in the role play due to poor exam strategy and a lack of familiarity with the success criteria. This workbook aims to tackle common errors and misconceptions and provide opportunities to overlearn useful techniques to ensure success on this question.
It includes thirty role plays based on past paper questions along with model answers, a self-assessment checklist, and helpful tips and reminders on each page.
It begins with a student-friendly breakdown of what is required in this part of the exam, and will allow students to prepare independently and understand how to succeed.
It also has two helpful exam mark sheets at the back for informal classroom practice or mock exam feedback.
A doubled sided helpsheet to start students off with the role play tasks in the GCSE course. Designed with the new specification from Edexcel in mind taking into account the 10 prescribed scenarios, some common demands from the interactive tasks, frequent question words and some possible questions to ask for each scenario. Suitable for both foundation and higher tiers.
Includes sections for:
Cinema
Leisure centre
Shopping
At the doctors
Restaurant
In town
Tourist information
Campsite
Hotel
Train Station
Elf tells the story of ‘Buddy the Elf’ who was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack one Christmas Eve. He stayed in the North Pole until adulthood and grew up thinking he was an elf himself. One day he found out he was a human, and decided to go and visit his biological father in New York.
On arrival he wasn’t welcomed by his father until a DNA test reassured him that he was actually his son. The family grew to like Buddy, and he also found a girlfriend – but then everything changed when he fell out with his father one day and decided to leave.
But as he was walking alone he heard a crash in Central Park, when he went to investigate he noticed it was his good friend, Santa. The family caught up with him and realised he had been telling the truth all along, he was in fact an elf from the North Pole. The friends and family all worked together to lift Christmas spirit and thus power Santa’s sleigh to ensure he could finish his deliveries.
There are song recommendations throughout the script, with a mixture of traditional Christmas songs and modern songs. There are 20-22 speaking parts, with additional non-speaking roles too.
I hope you have fun with it, my class had a ball! The play is around 40-50 minutes long.

A series of lessons comprising a scheme of work for Frankenstein the play by Philip Pullman.
The lessons use drama, games and discussion alongside independent writing activities to develop students understanding of the play and their awareness of the definitions and effects of various structural devices.
Empathetic writing activities such as letters and monologues are also included alongside success criteria and writing frames where appropriate. These are formatted with a planning lesson, a writing lesson and a feedback lesson so that teachers can choose to use them as formal assessment lessons or simply an opportunity to further their students’ understanding of the play.
There are also some suggestions for adapting the resources for online learning.

A role play about ordering in a restaurant for year 10 pupils, following Stimmt AQA GCSE (Higher) Kapitel 5 (Ich liebe Wien), Activity 9, page 103.
Pupils see a sample dialogue, then create their own in pairs or threes. This includes ordering three courses, complaining about something and a ‘solutuion’ (e.g. never returning, speaking to the manager, not paying). They can then perform in front of the class, and other members can translate what was said during the role play (e.g. reporting back what they ordered or what the problem was).
This is a role play activity to liven up what can be a boring lesson on management styles. After teaching the basic management styles; autocratic, democratic and Laissez Faire, split the class into three groups. Give each group a scenario, then give them 2 mins to plan a roleplay. They can select one person to be the manager, and what style he/she will adapt. The rest of the class have to guess the management style.
