A speaking pack to help with the oral assessment - geared towards IB Ab initio and igcse. Includes info on the process and timing for the exam, as well as possible questions students can prep. There are images at the back that can be used as examples. ps: During the exam the images must not be 'animated' and must be in colour. As an extension, students could try answering the same questions in a different tense.

song - 'jueves' por LOVG

I used this song to introduce the subjunctive, revise body parts, identify various indicative tenses and it was a nice opportunity to talk about the tragedy of the Madrid train bombing (11M) - making history relevant.

correction grid for written work

The original idea for a correction grid came from a colleague. I've tailored mine for Spanish. I don't correct student's work - what i do, however, is highlight the error and annotate with a number. The objective is that they become aware of the common errors and eventually, eliminate them.

Every Child Matters - Dia de la camisa Naranja

(0)
Reading text (with its foundation in Every Child Matters - TOK link to Truth and Reconciliation) found by a colleague on FB (creative commons). I created IB style questions to exploit the text. Answers are at the very end. I left a few pages blank in case curious students decided to scroll. To help older MYP and DP students access the document, the text could bei cut up as a ‘sort the order’ of the text, small group discussions could take place, then reading comprehension, followed by a writing prompt.
