25 CardsLesson#1
Welcome to the deck on approaching literary texts for the AQA GCSE Spanish Higher Tier exam. This skill is tested in the reading paper, where you'll be given a short extract from a story or novel. The questions will test your ability to understand not just what is said, but how the story is told.
Lesson#2
When you first see the text, read it through once to understand the 'gist', or the main idea. Ask yourself: Who are the characters? Where and when is this happening? What is the main event? Don't worry about every single unknown word on this first read; focus on the overall picture.
Quiz#3
What is the Spanish word for a character in a story?
el personaje
Quiz#4
What is the Spanish word for the plot or storyline?
la trama
Quiz#5
What is the Spanish term for the setting or atmosphere of a story?
el ambiente
Lesson#6
A key skill is understanding how verb tenses create the story's timeline. The preterite tense is used for completed actions that move the plot forward. Think of these as the main events in the story. For instance, 'Llegó, vio y se fue' means 'He arrived, he saw, and he left'.
