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 Project

Language classes are the perfect place to practice interdisciplinary skills as we are constantly learning language through culture, Social Studies, History, Geography, critical thinking and much more. With this project I intent to present the beauty of Portugal through the arts using some hands-on activities and games.

The Portuguese are known for their lovely ceramic tiles, the Azulejos.

My students will love the beautiful colors and patterns, and the significance of these arts in the culture and history of Portugal. They will first discover the rich history of their Azulejos tiles, study symmetry and vocabulary and will be inspired to create their own artistic interpretation through this art form and proudly display their work.

To achieve that, this project contains tiles and paint. I have also added the game Azul (Portuguese for blue), which is an abstract strategy board game using Portuguese tiles. In Azul players collect sets of similarly colored tiles which they place on their player board. When a row is filled, one of the tiles is moved into a square pattern on the right side of the player board, where it garners points depending on where it is placed in relation to other tiles on the board.
