DÍA DE ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so I have organized some resources and ideas to ZOON into the culture. Students will be able to explore, describe, and discuss Harvest Celebrations in Spanish speaking countries and their own community. Here are some questions to reflect on: What are the reasons for these celebrations? What traditions are practiced for the different celebrations? Students will understand cultural perspectives on these celebrations and/or special events. Also, describe ways in which their family's traditions and customs may differ from those of other students in the U.S. and/or Spanish-speaking countries. Essential questions: 1. How are people a reflection of their culture? 2. How is the culture a reflection of its people? 3. How does language influence interactions between groups of people? 4. How are a culture’s values reflected in its celebrations? 5. Do celebratory practices reflect the true meaning of the holiday? 6. What role do family members play in cultural celebrations? I can statements: I can say what I’m thankful for. I can say what I love, like and hate to eat on Thanksgiving. I can talk about traditional activities. To begin, students will complete a quick write or another pre-activity. For each subsequent skill, they must complete each task for Día de Acción de Gracias which will give them the necessary resources to master and complete the mini-unit. Of course my goal is communication in the target language and make cultural connections and students learn more about their own culture. Pre-Activity Individually, students can do a quick write in Spanish for upper levels and English for lower Spanish. Quick Write: Write a paragraph describing how you celebrate Thanksgiving, including which family members are present, the foods served, and traditional activities you participate in. Escribir: Individually, I asked students to answer the following questions in Spanish and include family members present, the food served, and traditional activities they participate in.
Comprehension and Reflection Activities 1) Estoy agradecido por Nota de agradecimiento Individually, I asked students to think of five things that they are thankful for. Then, student share with the class. As they listen, students take notes.
To end the activity, I asked the students write 5 sentences about what 5 of their classmates had said, they write for what they were thankful.
