ATLP Spanish Curriculum – Year 7.  Autumn Term:

Narrative for this unit of work 

Students are preparing for a Spanish exchange to Spain.  During the autumn term, they will learn sufficient language to be able to introduce themselves, their family and their friends and talk about their hobbies and interests.  They will receive information from their host school in Malaga about the town where they will stay and they will start to plan how they will get to Spain and what they need to take with them.

Autumn Term:  Core Questions:

Oak National Academy Lessons – KS3 Spanish

The year 7 and 8 Spanish lessons on the Oak National academy website follow the NCELP year 7 / year 8 scheme of learning.  This scheme of learning places phonics, vocabulary and explicit grammar teaching at its core without any reference to a specific theme.   There are no lessons which directly match the thematic content of the ATLP Yr 7 Spanish curriculum.  However, there are a number of year 7 Spanish lessons which introduce and offer structured practice in the grammatical concepts introduced within the ATLP scheme of learning.  These lessons will feel different in their approach to the format of ATLP lessons but they will offer structured practice of core grammatical concepts giving students an opportunity to reinforce and at times extend their understanding whilst also seeing how the language they have learnt in school can be applied in other contexts.  These lessons will need to be supplemented with KO and retrieval grid work.

What do you know about Spain?  What can you visit in Spain? How do we get there? No Oak content.

Could Esther Woodburn’s summer term Oak video be used?  Would need to be hosted on individual school platforms though.  Currently saved in the Secondary MFL one drive folder.

How do I pronounce Spanish words properly?   Phonics (linked to numbers) No Oak content.

Explicit phonics teaching is incorporated into the start of every Oak lesson.  However, the lessons don’t follow the same sequence of phoneme / grapheme introduction as in the ATLP curriculum.

How do I introduce and describe myself in Spanish?  Negatives, sophisticated opinions Limited appropriate Oak content.
How do I describe other people in Spanish?  Family members, negatives, comparatives Year 7 Spanish Unit 1.  Saying what someone is like at the moment.  Part 1. This lesson introduces the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person of the verb ‘estar’ to say what someone is like at the moment.

Year 7 Spanish Unit 1.  Saying what someone is like at the moment.  Part 2. This lesson uses the verb ‘estar’ and adjective agreement to say what someone is like at the moment.
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/saying-what-someone-is-like-at-the-moment-part-22-6cwkgc

Year 7 Spanish Unit 1.  Saying what someone is like in general.  Part 1.  This lesson uses the singular person of the verb ‘ser’ (to be) to describe traits.

How do I talk about what I enjoy doing in my free time?  Opinions, negatives, hobbies, comparatives No Oak content
How are winter festivals celebrated in Spain?  Opinions, comparatives No Oak content
What must I take to Spain with me?  Clothes, near future, impersonal / modal verbs Year 7 Spanish.  Unit 6. Describing future plans

In this lesson we learn how to describe using future plans using the verb “ir”
