Students will launch the project by creating, sharing, and revising a beginner-level Spanish identity sentence while previewing how their work will connect with consenting community partners, a neighborhood map, and the Community Connections Fiesta.

Students will practice respectful A1 interview language, listen to classmates and consenting Spanish-speaking community partners, and document evidence about identity interests, emotions, language hurdles, and neighborhood connections.

Students will frame an evidence-based design challenge, generate distinct concepts for sharing identity through Spanish, and select a direction for prototyping.

Students will rapidly prototype, test, and revise their Spanish identity cards and community maps with peers and a Spanish-speaking community partner before preparing for the showcase.

Students will present and explain their Spanish identity cards and community maps to an authentic audience, use audience feedback to make a final revision, and reflect on their growth in speaking Spanish.
