//__Theme__: //** // **la papa (el origen y los usos)

__Introduction__: This activity flows based on the fact that the students have had some prior exposure to the theme of "la papa" and have been working with Pablo Neruda's poem "Oda a la papa". Students have also had practice asking and answering questions with special emphasis placed on correct use of palabras interrogativas and appropriate response. The introductory activity's wordle comes from the first few stanzas of text in the poem. Student pairs brainstorm words and phrases that they can use in their interviews to demonstrate understanding of the origen of the potato, its uses, and the underlying meaning in the poem. Students then create their interview and record via voki for assessment purposes. **//
