Global issues starter
Teaching notes
This is a starter activity for KS4/KS5 Spanish for the topic of global issues. It is designed
to encourage student independence, group work and discussion.
Instructions

Make one copy of the vocabulary cards for each small group of students.

Ask students to categorise the words into two groups. They can do this in any way
that they choose. There are no right or wrong answers as long as students can justify
and explain their choice of grouping. Possible categories might be: problems and
solutions, environment and world issues, or verbs and nouns.

Students will need to work as a group to ensure that they understand all the
vocabulary before beginning to categorise the words. The English meanings could be
noted on the back of the cards.

A possible extension activity would be for group to select nine of the cards to place
in a diamond shape according to the issues which they feel are more/less important
for them. A diamond nine template is provided on the next page and can be printed
or projected.
