Suggested Activities

Knowing and Practicing the Mestizo’s Culture

Step 1

▪ With enough anticipation, the teacher will divide the class in groups of four.

▪ Each group has to prepare typical food from a Hispanic country. The teacher will assign the name of the country to each group.

▪ Each group will bring the food to the class to share it with their classmates. Before they share the food, the group will present the food, including the following steps:

Name the food

Name the country from where the food is

List and show the ingredients needed to prepare the food.

Share the food.

 

For the same activity, the teacher will ask each group to select a cultural dance from the country they selected the food from. This includes dressing with the typical dress of the selected country.

After all groups have presented and shared the food, they will show the typical dance of the selected country. Before dancing, they have to mention the name of the dance and from which country it is.

Note: It is at the discretion of the teacher to decide which will be presented first:  food or dance.
