5 de mayo celebración y telenovela
Submitted by Nikki on
Students arrived we talked about 5 de mayo. Although it is believed to be Mexican independence day, it commemorates the victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the battle of Puebla. It is celebrated mostly in Puebla, Mexico and in the US. To celebrate 5 de mayo, we watched instructional video about making papel picado. Students made papel picado that we hung in the hallway.
Students got in their groups and coordinated their scene for our telenovela. Rather than making the storylines match up, the similar thread is that all scenes take place on a cruise ship.
Tarea: complete primer borrador (first draft) of scene and email it to me at nikki@denverspanishhouse.com by Sunday so that I can bring corrections on Tuesday.
