This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports you in guiding pupils to write their own Spanish story using familiar structures and vocabulary. Centred around La tienda de mascotas (The Pet Shop), this lesson builds on prior learning, including animal nouns, adjectives, and noun–adjective agreement. By drawing on a repetitive and predictable narrative model, pupils can confidently generate their own version of the story. Planning tools, such as a mind map, help structure ideas, support less confident learners, and encourage creative thinking through the selection of unusual pets and imaginative adjectives.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – vocabulary. It demonstrates how to use story planning to reinforce key grammar points like adjective agreement and introduces dictionary use in a meaningful context. You’ll be guided through the process of modelling a story plan, using opposites to structure the narrative and supporting pupils to transfer ideas onto writing frames with appropriate scaffolding. The lesson helps pupils apply their Spanish knowledge in an engaging and purposeful way, developing both their language and literacy skills.
