This wiki has been created to provide a shared resource and writing area for students and teachers of A Level Spanish. It was created by Barbara_Harper, of Prince Henry's Grammar School, Otley, Leeds. The first use was a Spanish A Level Day on the topic of El MEDIO AMBIENTE, 28th November 2007. Students had introductory sessions on many aspects of this major A Level theme which relates specifically to Module 2 of the AQA AS examination, but also appears on all major examination syllabuses.

Materials (so far) have been created by Mr C Lillington, Mrs N Grierson and Mrs B Harper. If you would like to contribute something please contact Barbara_Harper who is the wiki administrator to give you editing access.

Schools participating in this event are:
 * Benton Park School
 * Boston Spa School
 * Horsforth School
 * Prince Henry's Grammar School (hosting)
 * Roundhay High School

The aim of this wiki is to enable students to share resources prepared for them for this Study Day, to write their presentations using the wiki and to access the materials afterwards at home or in school to fully exploit the information provided. It is expected that other themes and topics will be added over time.

__**Información nueva de Wikispaces para profesores o estudiantes con muchas fichas para añadir: Uploading Multiple Files at Once?**__

We just put the finishing touches on a much improved file uploading system. No longer do you need to upload files one a a time -- you can now upload multiple files and images to your space in one shot. To do so, go to "Manage Space", then to "List and Upload Files." When you browse for the files you want to upload, you can select more than one at a time to upload at once. You will be able to follow the progress of each upload and can cancel one or all of them if you choose to. And this feature is available to everyone right now. So those of you who use a lot of files in your spaces, this one's for you.

 * STUDENT PRESENTATIONS solamente dos fichas añadidas hasta ahora. Más luego.

Estudiantes: si quieres añadir tu presentación por favor asegurate que lo haces aquí.

(create a new page and add your presentation to this title/area via the link at the top of the page - left hand blue globe) Working in groups of 4, students will produce a short presentation, 2 minutes maximum. Each person should speak for a similar amount of time, ie approx 30 seconds each. Just like one of the themes of the day, we are expecting you to recycle information you have heard and read, but put it into your own words.

Presentation format**
 * Provide 1 image; use word /Powerpoint - will be projected via electronic whiteboard.
 * Presentation should include key words not full sentences on screen, but a written script to go with it is fine.
 * Include at least 1 statistic about Spain and some information from the materials presented here.
 * You may compare to another country if you wish, if you have comparative information or statistics to hand; this is not a necessary requirement though.
 * Remember to try and give a personal reaction to the events and themes you discuss.
