AP Spanish® students will love this fun, real-world application mini-project! Teachers, this Google Doc project with rubric can be customized, assigned in Google classroom (or other learning platform) for distance learners and printed for in-person students. This project is perfect for Unit 5 as students explore the factors that influence our quality of life! Get students motivated to use their Spanish outside of class while they gain some sage advice from trusted adults!

In this project, students will interview 2 adults that they know. The topic of the interview will be how jobs relate to our quality of life. Students will first work in small groups to brainstorm questions, though in the end, they get to choose what they ask. They will set up interview times, and after the interviews are complete, they will draw their own conclusions about work/life balance, how our daily lives can be affected by the jobs we have, what significance one's job plays in a person's identity and sense of purpose, etc. The student instructions provide clear step-by-step procedures and a detailed rubric about how their final project will be graded.

Best of all, students will have the opportunity to interact with adults in their community and practice important life skills like formally thanking people for their time! When the interviews and article write-ups are complete, a vibrant class discussion can take place as you talk about everyone's findings, take-aways and important learning! This is a great topic for students who are thinking about their future careers and jobs!
