Pleno al Quince

Subject: Spanish
Level: Secondary
Age Group: 14 - 16
Order Number: 9132

GCSE: Pleno al Quince brings fifteen topics into your classroom, topics that form the basis of any language student's knowledge. The aim of this resource is to present those topics in such a way that they feel fresh and vibrant. Quite often the 'fizz' can disappear from a theme when it is revisited. Here the student is given the opportunity to recall vocabulary already studied and then top it up.

The topics on offer are as follows:

• Tourism
• Work
• Lodgings
• Education
• Immigration
• Recycling
• Cars
• Music
• Shopping
• The Animal Kingdom
• Food
• The Cinema
• Television
• The Weather
• Home
• Leisure time Activities

Each topic is treated in a three-page section that focuses on previously acquired vocabulary and grammar, and injects new life to the matter that will appeal to the teenager of today who travels more, has more access to the media, and in general is more aware of his/her environment.

Page One of the section condenses the topic in an attention-grabbing anuncio. The information provided here is all based on real-life scenarios which the author has witnessed on a very recent fact-finding trip to the Península y las islas. Some of the facts and figures have been modified for obvious reasons, and adapted to make comprehension easier. Nevertheless, the teacher will naturally clarify points of difficulty concerning vocabulary and background knowledge. Page Two offers two sections: True or False? and Vocab. Finally, Page Three poses answer-friendly but stimulating open-ended questions followed by an entertaining 'whodunit' exercise.

Pleno al Quince is here to make sure you come good both in the classroom and on exam results day. With Pleno al Quince you will not be doing the pools but you will be sure of a winning coupon!
