The King s Medium Term Plan SPANISH Y10 LC2 Higher Programme 2016 2017 Module Building on prior learning Overarching Challenge Question Subject Challenging Question Lines of Enquiry This module covers the Theme 2 Local, national, international and global areas of interest, with the topic of Travel and Tourism. Within this unit, pupils will look at the issues of talking about holidays and weather and the issues of traveling and tourism. Pupils will start by looking at accommodation, and expressions of sequence. They will then move to looking at talking about regions of Spain and using the points of the compass, discussed in year 9. Pupils will look at tourist leaflets and websites, and create their own. They will finish this module off by looking at describing a particular region in Spain, looking at the cultural and social contexts of travel and tourism. Pupils will draw upon knowledge they already have from LC1 and year 9, and will focus primarily on the skills of listening and writing. All pupils will cover all objectives but only those working towards GP 5-6 will be expected to cover Progress Objectives that are highlighted. Key objectives are taken from the existing AQA GCSE Spanish Specification 8698 Theme 2 Local, national, international and global areas of interest. During year 9, pupils began to understand the basics of the Spanish language and how it has both similarities and differences to the French they had previously learnt. Pupils have looked at the ways in which to introduce themselves as well as others, and all have been able to use at least three different verbal tenses to talk about what they did, do will do in the future. During LC1, pupils looked at life at school and college, and familiarised themselves with new linguistic features as well. During this topic, they will make sure they build upon previous knowledge and recall the topic of holidays from last year that was briefly touched upon. Has tourism changed Spain over the last century? Travel and tourism will broaden our understanding of new tenses. Week 1: Weather expressions lend themselves well to understanding the third person. Week 2: Translating is the key to mastering our language. Week 3: The preterit and imperfect tenses are both important. Week 4: Learning verbs helps expand our knowledge and understanding.
Exam Board Links: Topic Progress Statement Learning strategies Week 5: Social and cultural contexts are just as important as linguistics. Week 6-7: Revision and assessment followed by GAP teaching. This module is taken from the AQA Specification 8698 Theme 2: Local, national, international and global areas of interest. Pupils will focus on the key aspects taken from the AQA 3-year Scheme of Work and the linguistic features that are important from the new specification. Pupils will cover the following issues and grammatical concepts: consolidation of preterit tense extension of imperfect tense consolidation of preterit and imperfect tenses sequencing words, expressions and phrases antes de/después de haber/mientras/desde hace/acabar de developing greater complexity in spoken and written accounts of past events or experiences weather expressions with hacer possessive pronouns mío etc. Literacy: Literacy focus present throughout every lesson when discussing sentence structures and the importance of spelling and grammatical accuracy. Writing frame support for pupils where appropriate and the highlighting of key words. Numeracy: Application of number and their impact on plural structures within a sentence. Use of numbers and sequencing words in pupils work. Use of numbers and patterns to break down different sentence structures. Basic recall of numbers for age etc. Cognitive Acceleration: Cognitive Acceleration strategies are used in lessons each week targeting specific skills sets and consolidation of these. Three 1 hour cognitive acceleration lessons are taught throughout the learning cycle whilst other lessons incorporate cognitive acceleration strategies targeting specific parts of the lesson journey. This is done through the medium of varied activities e.g. find the odd one out, find the link between the words or pictures, Socratic discussion and problem solving in groups that supports the ultimate goal of mastery.
