Mexico―Language and Literature
The students will develop their language and literature skills and knowledge by engaging themselves within a realm of the Mexican culture.

Mexican Food

Spanish Bingo
This is a great lesson for review. It is the same as playing Bingo, but you may call it whatever you wish and have the student call that name out when s/he wins.

This lesson teaches the numbers 0-100 the fun and easy way.  Students create their own bingo chart, the teacher calls out numbers randomly; six matches in a row wins.

The Mayans
This is an interdisciplinary unit which will explore why the Mayan are not as prominent today as they were in the past. Students will also develop a better understanding of Mayan culture and their civilization.

Building Communities/Construyendo Comunidades
The objective of the lesson is to allow students to take responsibility for their own learning of a foreign language through exploring the theme of what community means. All groups develop their own core vocabulary of words associated with their concept of community. For the Grade and Middle School students the lessons should be kept at a concrete-operation cognitive level. For High School students their theme remains the same, but their development is more on the abstract cognitive level.

Questions and answers in a Foreign Language
The object of this lesson is for students to recognize all the interrogative words, how to phrase questions and how to answer questions in a foreign language.
