Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. When preparing and performing role-plays, it’s important to include a verb in each answer.
  2. Questions in some role-plays may be addressed to 'usted' and therefore use language in the third person singular.
  3. Opinions about shopping can be developed by giving justifications and contrasts.
  4. Conjunctions can provide justifications and connectives can provide contrasts.

Keywords

  • Third person - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'she', 'he', 'it', 'they', or 'you (formal)'

  • Conjunction - word that connects ideas between clauses in a sentence

  • Connective - word or short phrase that connects ideas between sentences

Common misconception

It is sufficient to give one-word answers in a role-play.

In a role-play pupils need to answer each question with a short phrase or sentence.

It can be useful to repeat the role-play in order to build fluency and reduce reliance on notes. Note that it is only in Edexcel role-plays that the pupil may be addressed as 'usted'.
