Spanish: Interview Questions

Product description

From the author

Spanish: Interview Questions provides a question bank and a recording sheet for a rotating conversation activity. Students choose five of ten questions, ask them in Spanish and record answers from three classmates.

The bank includes answer starters, full English translations for the first six questions and selected vocabulary glosses for later prompts. The five-page PDF also supplies teacher directions, a cover and credits. Directions explain facing rows, rotations, optional timing, alternate interview locations and how the teacher can join when the class has an odd number of students.

Use the questions with beginning Spanish learners or for a review of basic personal-information vocabulary.

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

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.
