The best way to keep our students excited about Spanish is to give them something different, creative and hands-on. Out mural theme is "We all have wings, our task is to learn to use them to fly." Each student will create a large feather to form the wings of the mural. Students will contribute an individual design on each feather using the Prismacolor pencils. This mural project will help our students experience a side of language learning that will make them more excited about Spanish and make cultural connections. Art projects involve instructions. Giving instructions in Spanish is fabulous way to develop our students’ listening skills while providing them with an immersion opportunity, as is randomly speaking Spanish around the room while they work on these projects. Students react very positively to the language in this sort of environment. The paint, brushes, special prisma pencils and paper will help us round out the supplies needed.
