Traditions passed down through celebrations provide much information about the lifestyle of the peoples. ("Gracias" to Srta. Brazier for creating this project!)
Project Focus: How do the holidays and celebrations of Spanish-speaking people reflect their cultural heritage?

* when the holiday is celebrated
* history of the celebration
* how the holiday is celebrated, including food, rituals, dress, and decorations
*is the holiday celebrated in another culture and if so, compare the celebration across cultures
*why this holiday is important to the culture
2) Your group will need to plan and implement a classroom celebration of the holiday including appropriate traditions, foods, dress, and decorations. You must prepare the class before the celebration with a five minute oral presentation on the history, culture and traditions associated with the holiday.
3) Sr. Sferes will assign your group to one of the following holidays:
el Día de los Muertos (México)
el Año Nuevo España
el Día de la Raza (Costa Rica)
la Navidad (Mexico/España)

9) FAMILY SCRAPBOOK PROJECT
You are an exchange student in Mexico. You are not able to express yourself as well as you want because you don't know the vocabulary yet. You want to tell your host family about your own family and friends, but decide that it would be easier to do this by making a scrapbook of your closest family members and friends.
The scrapbook will have 10 pages inside the cover. Each page will represent a different family member or friend. Please include yourself, 7 family members, and 2 dear friends who are considered to be part of your family. These people can be your real family or an imaginary family, however they must share the same theme. For example, if you choose "Mickey Mouse" to be your father then "Minnie" should be your mother. If you choose "Homer" to be your father than "Marge" should be your mother. Each page will include a photo of that person and a few sentences describing him or her. The background will be a collage of their favorite things. The cover should be a picture of the entire family or a picture of something that represents your family such as an emblem. You can create this scrapbook with either keynote or make a hard copy of it. You can use real pictures of your familyor obtain photos from the internet. You will have a few days to work on this in class. Be creative!
Sr. Sferes will provide a rubric for this project!
