Extended Learning – reading and knowledge
Extended Learning – fun things to do and create
Watch a Spanish series or film on Netflix. I’m nearly finished Jane the Virgin and can highly recommend! It’s set in Miami but has a tonne of Spanish/Latin American links as it’s based on a South American family and their culture.You could also change the language to Spanish and any of your favourite TV programmes.
Additional resources, links and reading needed for the lesson activities:

Estudio matemáticas y dibujo. Me gusta la geografía porque es interesante. No me gustan las ciencias pero me encanta el inglés. Sin embargo, prefiero el francés al inglés porque para mí el francés no es aburrido. Pienso que la música es muy divertida. El teatro es fácil pero la historia es muy difícil. En mi opinión, me encanta la educación física porque jugamos al fútbol y en el futuro me gustaría ser futbolista.
Lesson 2 Supporting Word Document Comparatives and Superlatives
TASK 1: Create 6 different sentences using this word frame. Be careful! Not every combination will make sense e.g. A mi modo de ver, el dibujo porque me llevo bien con el profesor – you’d need to add an opinion phrase first. Here, it would need to be positive e.g. A mi modo de ver, me chifla el dibujo porque me llevo bien con el profesor. That’s better- it makes sense now!
Task 2- Grammar. Please take notes on the following grammar points. You’ll need them for later in the lesson.
Task 3: Completa e.g. 1 = La educaciøn fisica es mås divertida que las matemåticas (remember to check your masculine/feminine/plural agreement of adjectives!)
Task 4: Now, give the following in Spanish:• 3 Comparative sentences• 2 Superlatives sentences• 1 Traducid: El año que viene voy a dejar la historia para mi es la asignatura la más
difícil por eso me enfada.

Spend some time researching life at school in Spain. You can use Google to do this and may find some short videos that demonstrate what it’s like to be an exchange student in Spain on Youtube.
Create a fact file / poster / venn diagram to show the similarities and differences that you can find about life at school in the UK vs. Spain. This can be done in English, but you should annotate your work with Spanish labels to accompany pictures. E.g. Name the subjects you find they study, label the timetable etc. Make it eye catching and colourful.
What do you think about studying in Spain? Would you like to? If so, why? / why not?
