5. 1. Read the descriptions of all 4
people and complete the
activities on the last page.
6. Imagínate...
Persona A
Pretend you are one of the people
from the article we read. You are
walking down the street and run into
a fan. They ask you some basic
questions about your life. Answer
their questions but also be
polite….make sure you say it’s nice
to meet them and tell them goodbye.
If they ask you something the article
doesn’t tell you, make it up! :-)
Persona B
You are walking down the street and
see one of the people from the
article we read. You are a HUGE
fan! Introduce yourself to them,
find out how they are, how old they
are, when their birthday is and
where they are from. Make sure
you tell them it’s nice to meet them.
After all, you do follow them on
Twitter!
7. 1. You’re out and see one of the
people from the article. Make a
list of 7 different questions you
could ask to find out more
about them.
2. Choose one person from the
article to ‘be’ and read through
their information thoroughly so
you can answer any questions
a ‘fan’ may ask you.

Assign one side of classroom Persona A and the other side Personal B. Have students talk with as many people as they can from the other side. Next to their questions, have them write down who is who (Lola es ____ / Paco es ____). After 5-7 minutes, have students switch roles and repeat activity.
7-10 minutes: Have students do BOTH 1 and 2 to prepare for conversation.
