Examples of Krista's Project Menus

These are Krista's project menus for Latin.  John and I are thinking of modifying these to do some cultural projects for Spanish 3.  We will try it for C4 the Caribe chapter.  We have 3 categories (ARTE, MUSICA y EVENTOS HISTORICOS) and choices on how to present something for each category.  Hopefully it will work!

Jose Guadalupe Posada reading, ppt & making your own calavera

I used this after we read about JGP and his calaveras.  We spent time working in groups going through the  Posada Reading and finding main ideas.  We then had an 'oral quiz' asking each other comprension type questions using this information.

We then looked at the power point of more of Posada Images with the power point conitnuing with the oral quiz idea and then eventually leading into students writing their own calaveras and making their own 'print' to go with it.

Instrucciones are below.....
