New Identities

I designed and printed these cédulas de identidad (identification cards) to facilitate authentic communication between high school Spanish 1 students.

Each student received a new identity and "met" each other for the first time. In these conversations, they practiced:

  • greetings & introductions.
  • numbers, through sharing their número de identidad (ID number).
  • numbers and months, through sharing their fecha de nacimiento (date of birth).
  • Spanish-speaking countries, through sharing their país de origen.
  • the alphabet, through spelling out their names.

Students had to stay in the target language and keep track of the information of the people they were "meeting."
