My students totally called me out for not having a flag in my room. It's just a small piece of life that I have embedded in my brain. As an adult, I take the American flag for granted. The second topic that fascinated them were the differences and similarities of our flags.
For my monolingual students, I hope this will motivate them to learn about other cultures. My hope is that this will encourage them to learn more Spanish at home over the summer. They LOVED teaching me and laughing at how badly I butchered the words.
POPCLIP STUDENTS HOW TO
I asked them to tell me what Annie said in the clip and how to say several other simple things in Spanish. Most of the students act really embarrassed about being bilingual so my goal for this last month is to encourage them to embrace it. I wasn't greatly surprised by this as we've had an influx of parents upset over their children losing their Spanish. The majority of my students pointed out our language differences first. We compared Mexico and the USA after watching the Brain Pop clip. It was such a tremendous help at motivating my students to try even though a few of them groaned at the start.
Yes, folks, I tried using the Expanding Expression Tool for a comparison and contrast activity! I thought it was going to be a stretch, which is why I didn't want to blog about my plans over this past weekend. We watched Brain Pop Jr.'s video clip on Mexico and then broke out our Venn Diagram charts. Did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo today? My students and I had a blast with the topic today.
