This image can be used in numerous ways. Consider printing in color and laminating for students to use with dry erase markers. Students can work in small groups to play ¿Quién soy yo? (Who am I?). Students can choose one character and their partner can ask them questions to try and narrow down who their partners identity is. As the student gets answers to their questions they can cross out any images that could not be their partner. Partners play until the student is able to guess the right person.

Teacher can review a series of question starters to help students think about what types of questions are appropriate to ask. Students can also be encouraged to answer their questions with the correct gender and number in order to help their partner determine who they are.

The pair that guess each others image in the fewest questions can "win".

¿ Llevas lentes?
¿ Eres joven o viejo?

The growing body of online educational resources is helping to create universal access to language education. This is a good thing. Use this introductory guide to find open resources for your classroom. The OER ecosystem works best when everybody contributes content. Consider sharing your own. Educators often supplement foreign language textbooks. Perhaps your students need more grammar, authentic L2 materials, or listening practice exercises. Go to an open content search page. For example, Creative Commons offers a system of open licensing which enables resource sharing. Their CC search page is a great place to start. However, finding openly licensed educational resources (OER) - which can be edited, built upon, and shared without copyright restrictions - isn't always easy.

Black M, a French hip-hop artist, was told he should not perform at a concert based on his race. He responded on Twitter with a comprehensive song "clapping back" at the politician and others who think being black makes him any less French. This lesson focuses on identity and uses first-year French constructions to allow students to talk about themselves while learning about French identities. The video for the song includes references to many aspects of French and francophone culture, which are explored briefly in the lesson with room to explore independently.
Lest we think this is an issue unique to France, decades ago, Marian Anderson was also told she could not perform based on her being black. She defied the odds and sang on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, inspiring Martin Luther King, Jr, among others. We look at this performance and a portrait of Anderson from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and students have a chance to discuss how they have overcome odds.
