Cultura: presentaciones de festivales

As warm up activity, students wrote what they remembered about the dance styles they learned about last week.

¿Qué recuerdas de...?

La salsa

El tango

Ballet folklórico

Flamenco

After the warm up activity, students watched parts of four videos and had to identify which dance they saw.

Presentaciones

Students had 10 minutes to finish preparing and practicing their presentation. They started their presentation by writing 5 words on the board from their presentation that other students may not know. Before presenting their festivals, we talked about the importance of speaking clearly, loudly and using eye contact in presentations.

While students presented, other students took notes and I asked questions after each presentation. La Tomatina presented first followed by El Encierro. We ran out of time for the last presentation: Carnaval en Cadiz, so the final group will present after break.

Tarea: Students received an article about La quinceañera that they need to read and then on the back (attached) they need to answer questions comparing and contrasting La quinceañera with either the American tradition of Sweet Sixteen or Bar and Bat Mitzvah.
