Classroom activities: Give each student two index cards. Have each student write a description of a man on one card and a woman on the other similar to the descriptions from the lesson. They should also write a name of the person on the top of the card (any name they like). The students work in small groups (of 4-6 students) to match the women and the men together into couples based on who they think would be compatible. They need to discuss why they think the two are compatible (eg. Él es extrovertido, y ella es extrovertida.)
