Suggestions for use:

 

⭐SPEAKING/LISTENING: Give each student a task card and they will pretend to be that person. Students ask each other questions to get signatures on their ¡FIRMA! / Find Someone Who Activitiy. Ex. Student 1: ¿De dónde eres? Student 2: Soy de Puerto Rico. Then they ask them to sign the Es puertorriqueño(a) box on their page.

 

⭐READING: Place a task card on each desk and give students the Scoot comprehension questions. The student reads the task card on the desk and answers the question for that card. The teacher says SCOOT! or ¡MUEVAN! and students move to the next desk. This can also be done by placing the task cards around the classroom or hallway.

 

⭐WRITING: Use the included paragraph template to transform the task card information into an introduction paragraph about the person. For higher levels, they can describe a day in the life of the person, what they did yesterday, or what they will do tomorrow, depending on the verb tense focus.

 

⭐PRESENTATION: Have students introduce themselves as the person on the card. Ex. Me llamo Lin Manuel Miranda. Soy de Nueva York y soy puertorriqueño. Mi cumpleaños es el 16 de enero de 1980…” This could also be a good option for larger or more rowdy classes to complete the Firma Activity as they listen.
