Rastrick High School: Home Learning

Year 9 Spanish

Booklet 3: Half-Term 3, Lessons 1-14

Social Issues

This booklet covers content for the whole Spring1 term. Answers &

instructions for all tasks are provided (answers are at the end of the

booklet).

Guidance for completing MFL work:

The work inside the booklets on ClassCharts/in school reception contain enough work to cover the 12 hours of lesson time you would have had in this half-term, it is therefore expected that you spend a similar amount of time completing the tasks. This can be done in small chunks and/or with regular breaks. You will be directed by your teacher to which lessons you need to complete.

The content of the booklets is based on activities/tasks from your lessons. This means that you should be familiar with the different types of tasks set by your teacher. Within each booklet are instructions (in English) for every task that you have to complete.

If you struggle to understand a task, please see below a list of useful websites to help you with vocabulary & grammar:

- https://www.wordreference.com (online dictionary) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/levels/z98jmp3 (grammar & vocabulary)

- https://quizlet.com/topic/languages/ (vocabulary learning)

All answers to the tasks are at the back of the booklets provided. This means that once you have completed certain tasks, you can mark these yourself to see where you have made good progress and which areas you may need to revise.

Remember - you do not need to print out the work - you could just read it on screen and work in an exercise book or on lined paper. There are also printed copies of the booklets available to pick up from school if anyone cannot access them on a screen.

If you have any questions about the work, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the Contact page on the school website or emailing your teacher directly.
