Students received a map of Spain and had to label surrounding countries (España, Francia, Marruecos, Portugal).
First group presented on the style of dance they were assigned. Other groups will present on Thursday.
We listed several festivals celebrated in the Spanish-speaking world, including: Carnaval, Día de los muertos and Semana Santa. I introduced a few more: La Tomatina and El Encierro (running of the bulls). Students were divided into groups and were assigned a festival celebrated in Spain: Carnaval en Cadiz, El Encierro, o La Tomatina. Students were given an article about their festival, but could do some additional research. Each student was given a large poster on which to create a visual promotion of their festival.
Tarea: students need to be ready to present their dance on Thursday.
