8th grade students have finished their first mini-novela of the year called "Tumba." This book features events surrounding El día de los muertos (Day of the Dead). Each chapter takes us into new linguistic and cultural territory with regards to this important Mexican celebration. This week we read the following chapters:
* Capítulo nueve: "Nadar" (Swim)
* Capítulo diez: "Artista" (Artist)
7th grade Spanish students did the following MovieTalk discussions this week:
* Feast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7ARYCDna3E
* Toopy y Binoo: Burbujas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGaUedF_ajU
Students learn different structures in Spanish with each video. Students are asked guiding questions both written and orally. If you are unfamiliar with how MovieTalk helps kids learn Spanish faster, I have provided a link below for more information:
