Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

The 7th grade students at Dilworth STEM Academy are enrolled in Spanish 1-2 for the first time. About one-third of the class speaks and/or understands Spanish while the other two-thirds are new to the language.

Most of my students are timid in regards to speaking a second language.

Playing games seems to be the best way to nurture a more comfortable setting to get them to engage in casual Spanish conversations.

Our Spanish class is new to the curriculum this year and is offered as an elective. Therefore, I am in the beginning stages of acquiring instructional materials to support Spanish as a second language. Guess Who is a game that can be adapted to support any language offered at our school.

My Project

After introducing colors, nationalities, body parts, emotions and physical traits, my students will play Guess Who and engage in basic Spanish conversations as they describe the game characters to their partner. Being new to the language and by playing this game, students are more apt to practice their Spanish speaking skills as they find more comfort in playing rather than speaking in front of a group at this level.

Students will use their scaffold, Spanish vocabulary to describe the Guess Who characters while increasing their comprehension through speaking, reading, and listening.

By playing this game, students will also learn the masculine/feminine and singular/plural forms of adjectives.

Students will play in partners of two to maximize their hands-on experience and increase their vocabulary while verbalizing their knowledge of Spanish in the context of the game.
