I. Overview
Your student will be researching the life and contributions of a famous Hispanic; living or dead. This will result in an oral presentation. Students will use class time to prepare every other week on a rotating basis.
They will present the information en Español ONLY. They may make a poster, Prezi, GLOGSTER, Wevideo, PowToon, PowerPoint/Slides to enhance their speech presentation. Presentations will be a minimum of a minute and a half of memorized content. Their presentation will include:
1. El nombre de la persona
2. La profesión
3. País de Origen/ Nacionalidad
4. Por lo menos una foto de la persona
5. 6-8 características necesarias para la profesión
6. Diga por qué esta persona es famosa (más que lo que sea conocido)
II. Purpose
Learning another language extends much further than simply learning the grammatical structure. This project gives them the opportunity to learn about the culture and history of Hispanic Heroes. Your student chose an individual from a list that included writers, painters, poets, activists, politicians, musicians, athletes, and actors. With this project, they will not only increase cognitive flexibility but showcase their accents and knowledge gained throughout the year.
