I use to do a lot coloring to illustrate some the assignments in my Spanish 1 classes, but we all the kids having access to cameras in the cell phones, this a new approach that I can use to make this assignment more 21st century.
I like working on the photography part of this assignment. I always like photography but I never been good at it. I like that you manipulate the pictures to fit the type of project you are doing. I also like that there are sites on the web that we can use with our pictures without having to pay a lot of money for the software. I have a lot of pictures of my students’ projects that I embarrassed to show because the photographer (me) didn’t do a good job with the camera. Maybe now I can fix some of them now and create a web page to show them.
Spanish 1 – 9th Grade
Students learn in Spanish 1 how to say and write the Pledge of Allegiance. The idea is to learn new vocabulary in context in the target language, but also to promote citizenship and pride.
· The students make a poster with the flag of the United States as the background; they also include the Pledge in Spanish and 4 symbols that represent America.
· The students take pictures of themselves with their flag and with different people and in different places:
· 2 adult relatives, 2 adult friends, 2 people in uniform (soldiers, policeman, fighter fighters, etc.), 2 government places and 2 prominent places (church, banks, business, etc.)
· Students create a digital album with their pictures and use the words of the Pledge in Spanish as the captions for the pictures.
· The students present their projects to class and during their presentation they recite the Pledge in Spanish.
· CRITICAL THINKING - Students will write a short essay about what makes them proud to be an American, how we must honor those who defend and protect our country and how our community shows or needs to show citizenship and respect to the flag.
