This month one evening, when I was lesson planning, I saw a message on my computer for a facebook entry from a teacher that shared a free resource on La Virgen de Guadalupe. It was a script and comprehension questions written by Bryce Hedstrom, available for F-R-E-E on his blog. Check out his "Free Stuff" page of his blog for the story on La Virgen de Guadalupe and other "free stuff"!I used Bryce's script of La Virgen de Guadalupe and other activities for my Spanish 4+ class as listed below:
1. Copy the script and distribute to students. I have 8 students in this class (a dream class, for sure!) so I assigned each student a section of the text. They had to read the text and then on construction paper they sketched the main points from that section. I continue to hear that when we learn it is best if we can picture something in our mind, so I wanted students to hear an explanation and have an image ready for them to connect to it. The example on the right was on the portion of text that said the people go to church to give thanks and to sing.
2. Each student presented their information using their sketch(es) and a short explanation of their section of text.
3. To review the new information, I created a Kahoot game for students to play. It is listed as a Public Kahoot which you can find HERE.
4. To end the activity on an artistic note, I gave each student a Sharpie marker and a piece of construction paper. They watched THIS VIDEO and learned how to sketch La Virgen de Guadalupe.
The sketch above is by one of my students. We didn't have time to watch the end of the how to draw video, but it is a good start. We'll finish watching the video on Wednesday, and I'll upload her finished sketch.
OPTION: If you have the Akinator app on your mobile device, set the language to Spanish and use La Virgen de Guadalupe as the person that the app needs to guess. If students answer the questions correctly, Akinator will be able to guess it. It is a fun way to review information.
