Learning objectives

Students select 5 questions from a bank of 10 and copy them onto their own interview sheet.
Students record three classmates' spoken Spanish answers in writing during a rotating "speed dating" interview format.
Teaching tips
Project the question sheet on the board so students can reference how to answer each question if they have doubts.
Set up desks or students in two facing rows before class, deciding in advance which row stays seated and which row rotates.
Use a timer to keep each interview rotation moving, and plan ahead for an odd number of students by pairing yourself in.
Provide a clipboard or hard writing surface if interviews are held away from desks, such as outdoors.
