Wendy's Deletree Conmigo TEACHER'S GUIDE Activity 1 Historically Speaking Historically Speaking is a 1951 recording by baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, who is joined by pianist George Wallington. Track listing
In this activity, students use their sequencing skills to put the tortilla recipe and the story about Cinco de Mayo Cinco de Mayo (Spanish; “Fifth of May”) Mexican holiday commemorating the Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862. The French army, better-equipped and far larger than the Mexican army, had been sent by Napoleon III to conquer Mexico. into the correct order. To prepare for this activity, practice with this simple exercise. On the blackboard (1) See Blackboard Learning System. (2) The traditional classroom presentation board that is written on with chalk and erased with a felt pad. Although originally black, "white" boards and colored chalks are also used. , write the following four sentences: * Write your name on the top line. * Take out a piece of paper and a pencil. * Hand in your list when you are done. * Write down three things that describe you. Ask your students to put these four sentences in sequential order by indicating which would naturally come first, second, third and last. Explain that like directions we need to follow, it is important for the writing that we read, to be in the correct order as well. Copy and distribute the Historically Speaking repreducible, on page 12. Explain to your students that the recipe steps and the paragraphs of the story are not in the right order. Ask them to read all the parts of each exercise separately and then place them in sequential order so that they make sense. Students should write the correct numbers on the lines next to the corresponding paragraphs or phrases. Activity 2 Putting It All Together Students will put their knowledge of English, Spanish and Hispanic culture to the test as they analyze crossword puzzle crossword puzzle, word game in which words corresponding to numbered clues are put into a grid of horizontal and vertical squares to form intersecting words. The puzzle is solved when a player supplies all of the words correctly. clues. Give each student a copy of the Putting It All Together reproducible, on page 14. While the "Across" clues are in English, and the "Down" clues are in Spanish, the answers are the names of people and places with common spellings or Spanish words frequently used in English. Students might need to use encyclopedias to help them with some answers. This might also be a good activity for kids to take home and do with their families. Activity 3 Analyzing Words--What Would You Say? Analogies explore word--and concept--relationships. Implicit in Adj. 1. implicit in - in the nature of something though not readily apparent; "shortcomings inherent in our approach"; "an underlying meaning" underlying, inherent making or solving analogies are numerous critical thinking skills. Introduce analogy sentences with simple examples so students can see and understand the relationships between the words. Encourage students to think aloud or to work in pairs to solve them. Explain to students: Analogy sentences contain two sets of words. The first pair of words is related. Once you figure out this relationship, then solving them is easy because the second pair of words goes together the same way. Then share some of the many types of word relationships with your students, using these examples: * The pair of words might be synonyms (words with similar meanings) or antonyms (words with opposite meanings). For example, close is to near as distant is to far. And top is to bottom as under is to over. * One word in the pair might be a subset or part of the other. For example, day is to week as month is to year. * One word in the pair might be a more intensive term for the other word. For example, tired is to exhausted as loud is to deafening deaf·en·ing adj. Extremely loud. Idiom: deafening silence A silence or lack of response that reveals something significant, such as disapproval or a lack of enthusiasm. . * Or, the words might describe scale or size differences. For example, pebble is to boulder as hill is to mountain. * One word in the pair might be an example of the other. For example, Thanksgiving is to holiday as mosquito mosquito (məskē`tō), small, long-legged insect of the order Diptera, the true flies. The females of most species have piercing and sucking mouth parts and apparently they must feed at least once upon mammalian blood before their eggs can is to insect. * Or, one word in the pair might be a function of the other. For example, eye is to sight as nose is to smell. Then copy and distribute the Analyzing Words reproducible, on page 15, to your students. Review the directions with your students. The content of the English and Spanish analogies are different. In the English analogy sentences, the first word in each is a word that was adopted into the English language English language, member of the West Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Germanic languages). Spoken by about 470 million people throughout the world, English is the official language of about 45 nations. from Spanish.

Copy and distribute the Scrambling to Match the Definitions reproducible, on page 16, and review the directions with your students. Each scrambled word and clue presents a fact about a Spanish-speaking country. Activity 5 Odd Word Out With this activity, students demonstrate their vocabulary knowledge and their understanding of synonyms and antonyms. Explain to your students that synonyms are words that are alike or similar in meaning, while antonyms are words that are opposite in meaning. Together, generate examples and record them on the board. Then distribute the Odd Word Out repreducible, on page 17, to your students and review the directions. Be sure to encourage students to use dictionaries if they are unsure of a word's meaning! Activity 6 Spelling Sleuths This activity gives students the opportunity to review some frequently misspelled words.

The Timing of Things Create a classroom timeline with your students to depict the rich and varied Hispanic contributions to American history.

Then, have your students work together to create a class mural, or posters. The design could represent the class, or it could represent contributions, events, and customs related to Hispanic heritage. In the Headlines As a follow-up to the Straight from the Headlines reproducible, on page 19, have students bring in articles from English and Spanish newspapers or magazines. Use these articles to open discussions on current events, and to reinforce vocabulary. Ask each student to find an unfamiliar word in the article he or she is reading and list the word on the board. Figure out the words together and look up the definitions. Later, use the articles to create a current events bulletin board. Also, post your new vocabulary words on the board. This sends the message that the newspaper is a place to learn facts and new words!
