Questionnaire, Novice Mid, ASL 101, Lab 05
Please Note: Many of the activities on the Pathways Project OER Repository were created by upper-division students at Boise State University and serve as a foundation that our community of practice can build upon and refine. While they are polished, we welcome and encourage collaboration from language instructors to help modify grammar, syntax, and content where needed. Kindly contact pathwaysproject@boisestate.edu with any suggestions and we will update the content in a timely manner. — The Pathways Project
About the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) Language Activity Repository
The activities provided by the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) serve as foundational activities which can be adapted by any language and scaled up or down on the proficiency scale. Many of these activities offer an English Version that is “language-agnostic” to provide language instructors from around the country a platform to remix these instructional materials, infusing them with their target language and culture! The activities within the Pathways Project OER Repository seek to help students solidify their interpersonal speaking and interpretive skills through task-based situations or communicative activities. These activities should be facilitated in the target language for approximately 90% (or more), per the recommendation of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
How to use the WLRC Repository’s Activities:
1. Use the Activity as is:
Before you begin:

2. Remix for Your Language Classroom:
When you are ready to begin remixing the activity, in order to adapt it for the needs of your language classroom, simply click the blue “Remix This Resource” button at the top of your screen. This will then take you to a screen with a NEW, editable version of this activity. The text provided in purple is a suggestion of what you might say to your students in the target language, and may be altered for different levels and age groups. All activities have “NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do” statements, a warm-up, a main activity, and a wrap-up.
Many of the activities include printable cards and other instructional materials such as Google Slideshows. If you would like to make changes to these materials for your classroom, follow the instructions below:

Ex: "Find someone who has a dog", then when a student finds someone who does, they will write their name on that space
3. When everyone has finished, have students go around and share who they found for each question
4. Remind students to actually interact with each other and have a conversation, not just ask each other which one they have
Main Activity
1. Hand out the questionnaire cards to each student and pair them up with one another.
2. Students will ask each other the questions on the questionnaire cards.
3. They will write each others' responses on whiteboards, and then when everyone is finished, go around the group and have everyone sign what they learned about each other
4. If there's time left, have students switch questionnaire cards and repeat the above steps
Wrap-Up

1. How do you feel about your ability to sign the cards?
2. Anything specific you struggled with?
3. What did you learn?
4. How do you feel in the classroom?
End of Lab: Can-do statement check in... "Where are we?"
• Read Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate their confidence.
(Use thumbs up/thumbs down or download our student cards.)
• Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation.
• Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future labs
