This
collection of 88 photocopiable worksheets would be an asset to any Spanish
department. They are ideal for Key Stage 4 students to learn or
consolidate their knowledge of all the grammatical concepts required for
GCSE.
The presentation of the material has to be this publication’s best
selling-point. The layout of both the book as a whole and each worksheet
is refreshingly clear. The information presented to the student is neither
overwhelmingly dense nor drab, and the original use of cartoon is a
successful way to introduce new topics. The appearance of these
superficially entertaining sheets effectively serves to engage the student
into a more complex set of grammatical rules and exercises. The various
tasks reflect those of a modern textbook or GCSE exam paper: gap-fills,
multiple choice, translation and match-up activities.
To conclude, the worksheets are self-explanatory (all rules and practice
questions are together on the same page) and their user-friendliness
should therefore necessitate very little teacher input. Any difficult
vocabulary is translated and the sheets are thankfully just the right size
to be neatly and easily photocopied. And, as with all the best teaching
resources, the answers are provided at the back for quick reference when
in doubt! |
