Overview

In this novice-mid to novice-high Spanish activity, students practice creating questions and interviewing classmates on the topics of health, food, and celebrations. Students are provided a series of prepared interview cards. Each card represents a different topic. Students are asked to use the questions to carry on a three-minute interpersonal conversation. The students then reverse roles. After 6 minutes students will change interview cards and topics. A provided Google slide show offers reflection questions for students to discuss after finishing the activity.
