Adela is the character students most want to write about, and the one they most often describe instead of analyse. This 60-minute lesson takes them from "she rebels" to a clear, evidence-based argument about how Lorca presents her rebellion.

Students start with Adela's green dress in a house of mourning. They then trace her through all three acts, compare the colours Lorca uses, and test the idea of tragic irony: the more she rebels, the less free she becomes. The lesson ends with each student writing a PEA paragraph on a new quotation.

• What students cover

  • Adela in five words, each backed by a quotation

  • Adela across three acts, with a rebeldía rating and a "rebellion vs real freedom" graph to draw

  • The symbols of the green dress, the fan and the vara, and why green can mean both life and death in Lorca

  • What we know about Lorca and Adela, and the critical debate about whether she reflects him

  • Heroína trágica, víctima or símbolo: choosing and defending a position

  • A phrase and vocabulary bank for describing, analysing and evaluating a character

  What's included

  • Teacher PowerPoint (17 slides) with a timed 60-minute plan, model paragraph, discussion prompts and speaker notes

  • Student PDF pack (7 pages) with the warm-up, act-by-act table, symbols tasks, a Lorca and Adela page, vocabulary, PEA writing frame with checklist, and a model paragraph to colour-code

  • Exit ticket and homework: finish the PEA paragraph and find two Act 3 stage directions on colour, light or sound

  • For Year 13 A Level Spanish students studying La casa de Bernarda Alba.nish students studying La casa de Bernarda Alba.

Martirio is easy to write off as the villain. This 60-minute lesson helps students argue something more interesting: that she is a victim of her society who becomes a verdugo, and that the question hasta qué punto is exactly where the marks are.

Students begin with Martirio's own words ("Dios me ha hecho débil y fea…") and build a picture of her across the three acts. They then plan and write a full essay of about 400 words on the question ¿Hasta qué punto es Martirio una víctima de la sociedad en La casa de Bernarda Alba?

What students cover

• Martirio in five words: finding a quotation to prove each one

• A quote bank of 13 key quotations and actions, organised by act, with what each one reveals

• Martirio's symbols: the portrait, blood and poison, and suffocation

• Adela and Martirio compared, then the "¿víctima, culpable o las dos cosas?" evidence task

• Planning a thesis with nuance and a full essay plan

• A vocabulary and phrase bank for arguing, analysing quotations and concluding

• A peer-review grid and a model essay of about 439 words to compare with their own

What's included

• Teacher PowerPoint (18 slides) with a timed 60-minute plan, a thesis ladder from basic to best, model paragraphs, a live writing timer and speaker notes

• Student PDF pack (10 pages) with the quote bank, symbols table, víctima/culpable task, planning frame, essay writing pages, self- and peer-assessment, exit ticket and model essay

• Homework: finish the essay to about 400 words, colour-code PEA in two paragraphs, and compare with the model

Good to know

• For Year 13 A Level Spanish students studying La casa de Bernarda Alba.

"Hasta qué punto" questions reward students who can weigh an argument, not just support it. This 60-minute lesson teaches them to take a position, concede what's fair, and use historical context with precision.

Students start with a quick "Sí, pero…" debate. They then learn how an evaluative question differs from the "how does Lorca present…" questions of earlier lessons. The question for the whole lesson is ¿Hasta qué punto es Bernarda la responsable de la tragedia final?

What students cover

• Reading the question and placing their answer on a judgement scale, from apenas to totalmente

• Writing a thesis with concession (si bien, aunque, por mucho que)

• Language for nuance: concession with indicative and subjunctive, certainty and doubt, and more precise verbs

• A context bank of eight points, used with a three-step formula: context, quotation, effect

• Judging the responsibility of Adela, Martirio and La Poncia

• Planning and writing an introduction and a conclusion that give a graded judgement

What's included

• Teacher PowerPoint (22 slides) with student-turn and ideas slides, a model plan, a model introduction and conclusion, a model nuance paragraph and speaker notes

• Student PDF pack (7 pages) with the judgement scale, grammar tasks, the context bank, character responsibility grids, an evaluative planning frame and a self-check list

• Homework: paragraph C of the plan (the daughters), about 100 words, with one integrated context point and two concession structures

• An exit ticket: a one-sentence judgement using si bien or aunque

Good to know

• For Year 13 A Level Spanish students studying La casa de Bernarda Alba.

• Lesson 4 in the Cartacanta A Level Spanish essay-writing series, following the PEA method and symbols lessons.

Students can say that Bernarda controls her daughters. This lesson teaches them to show how Lorca makes the audience feel it, which is where the higher marks are.

This 60-minute lesson moves students from describing what happens on stage to analysing what it means. They work through Lorca's colours, objects, animals and absences, with the quotations and stage directions in front of them. A four-step "analysis ladder" (qué, cómo, efecto, significado) gives them a method they can reuse in any essay.

What students cover

• Colour and atmosphere: the white room, black mourning, heat, thirst and water that doesn't run

• Objects: the bastón, the abanico and Pepe's portrait

• The living and the absent: the caballo garañón, María Josefa's oveja, and Pepe who is never seen

• A symbols bank that doubles as a revision map

What's included

• Teacher PowerPoint (21 slides) with student-turn and ideas slides, a model paragraph, before-and-after sentence upgrades and speaker notes with prompts and answers

• Student PDF pack (6 pages) with the analysis ladder, a phrase bank, quotation-based tasks for each symbol, a symbols bank grid, sentence-improvement tasks and an exit ticket

• Homework: a PEA paragraph on a new symbol, answering "¿Cómo presenta Lorca el deseo reprimido de las hijas?"

Good to know

• For Year 13 A Level Spanish students studying La casa de Bernarda Alba.

• Lesson 3 in the Carta Canta A Level Spanish essay-writing series. It builds on the PEA method from lessons 1 and 2 and can be taught on its own to students who already write PEA paragraphs.

Lesson 2 of the A Level Spanish essay-writing series. Students go from one PEA paragraph to a complete 400-word essay on La casa de Bernarda Alba: analysing the question, writing a thesis, planning three points and drafting. Includes a 60-minute teacher PowerPoint and a printable 6-page worksheet pack.

Take your Year 13 students from a single paragraph to a full, well-argued essay in Spanish.

In lesson 1 (downloadable for free), students learn the PEA method. In this lesson they use it to build a whole essay on one question: ¿Cómo presenta Lorca el control de Bernarda sobre sus hijas? They break the question down, write a thesis, plan three points and draft the essay, with models to compare against only after they've had a go.

What's included

• 23-slide teacher PowerPoint for a 60-minute lesson:

  • a warm-up and question analysis

  • thesis writing, with two model levels (solid and higher)

  • three model body paragraphs (roles, space, word and emotions)

  • model introduction and conclusion

  • a "level up" slide (better verbs, embedded quotations, adding nuance)

  • a stretch task

  • teacher notes on every slide, plus a complete model essay in the final slide's notes

• 6-page student worksheet pack (PDF):

  • session plan and warm-up

  • question analysis and thesis builder

  • a planning grid (point, quote, technique, effect, context)

  • a quote bank of 10 key quotations with space to analyse each

  • scaffolded writing pages for the introduction, three body paragraphs and conclusion

  • a self-check list with "level up" targets and an extension challenge

Suitable for: A Level Spanish (Year 12–13) literature teaching, one-to-one or small-group tutoring, whole-class lessons and independent study. It works best after lesson 1 (the PEA method), but students who already know PEA can use it on its own.
