SPEED DATING SELF-ASSESSMENT AND
CHEAT SHEET
a) In today’s class you will engage in a short and hopefully fun task: speed dating in Italian.
Remember what we have practiced in the last few classes – look at the checklist below to review
the concepts we have learned (check the ones you feel most apply to you).
What I can do
1 I can say my name using an Italian fake name
2 I can ask someone what their name is
3 I can say what my imaginary job is
4 I can ask someone what their imaginary job is
5 I can say where I am from (city or country)
6 I can ask someone where they are from
7 I can say where I work (the place I work at)
8 I can say what I like (one or two things)
9 I can say where I like to go
10 I can give thanks
11 I can greet someone hello
12 I can greet someone goodbye

c) Now that you have reviewed the key contents of our mini-unit, take 5 minutes to think of your
own character. Write down below all that you can say about your imaginary self in Italian.
Remember that spelling does not count and you can use props to make your character more
interesting. (you can use this paper for your speed dating task, if it makes you feel more
comfortable)
d) Lastly, we are finally ready for the task. Listen to your teacher instructions and have fun! 
