Year 8 — Spanish

Term 1: Mis vacaciones

In Term One, Mis Vacaciones, students will learn to talk about past holidays. They will use the preterite tense with regular AR verbs, as well as ER and IR verbs, to describe what they did on holiday. They will practice combining the present and preterite tenses to give detailed descriptions. Students will also learn to describe the last day of their holiday using ER and IR verbs and talk about what their holiday was like using the preterite of SER.

For assessment, students will complete a reading task and a writing task. The writing assessment will involve composing a postcard-style text about a recent holiday using the preterite tense, with some details in the present.
