Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- When preparing and performing role-plays, it’s important to include a verb in each answer.
- Questions in some role-plays may be addressed to 'usted' and therefore use language in the third person singular.
- Opinions about shopping can be developed by giving justifications and contrasts.
- 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.
Teacher tip
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'.
