1. Vocabulary list with most words from the interview
2. Information gap activity: students plug in the words from the list
3. Interview: students read silently first, and then read with a partner
4. Mini-lesson possessive adjectives as students respond to questions about Ainhoa (no more writing "tu película favorita" for a third party).
