Tuesday, June 11: What is culture?
- Prep: set up desks/chairs in round table
- Meet at classroom, walk to lab and talk
- Introduction: The approach to this class
- Whose families come from Latin American countries?
- Who speaks Spanish at home?
- Who practices what we might call “Latino Culture”?
- I’m not going to pretend that I’m the expert in Latino culture because I’ve never lived it like many of my students have. However, I do know a lot about what culture is and how we can learn more together, so we’re going to take a different approach to this class where all of us are going to use our strengths and talents to explore Latino Culture together.
- Syllabus:
- Electronic devices: Bring them! I’m hoping we’ll have as much lab time as we’ll need because the Internet has so much information and will basically be our textbook. But, if we don’t make sure you have your devices so we can use them in class.
- A little bit about me:
- Profa
- Spanish teacher
- Love UB
- Love my horse
- Objectives, topics, rules and expectations: You can read
- Most important thing is just being responsible, respectful, and ready.
- Electronics with permission
- Make sure you talk to me if you have any questions or concerns
- Assignments and Grading
- Talk about final project on Friday
- Interactive notebook (continue to next activity)
- Interactive Notebook
- Hand out – please put your name on the front
- VERY important – bring every day!
- There will be evidence of everything we’ve done in here
- Don’t just go filling it up, though. There will be certain things in certain pages. You’re creating your own textbook, so even though each of your notebooks is going to be your unique book, I should be able to flip through and find specific information on certain pages
- Example: my interactive notebook for Spanish 1
- Set up IN
- Number pages
- Two sections: LATINO CULTURE and GENIUS HOUR
- Cover: you can do anything you want with the cover as long as I can easily find your name
- Inside cover: Syllabus
- Table of Contents: Page 1, Page 100
- Grading (50%)
- Each day, we’ll create specific pages in our IN. I’ll go through and put a check, check plus, and check minus (or an X!) (stickers?) on each of your pages depending on:
- how well you did following directions (including organization of the IN),
- completing the work
- behavior in class
- total your checks and put them in the grade book
- Cornell Notes
- Specific format for taking notes
- Notes will pretty much always go on the right-hand page, while activities we do will go on the left.
- Going to be using Cornell Notes: Display picture (Students copy down)
- IN page 3:
- Note-taking side: For you when you’re researching answers to question like you just did or anything that’s presented in class by me or your peers, and any questions you think of (star those questions)
- Left column: Main Idea headings; after class, write questions that were answered in the notes
- Bottom: 2-3 sentence summary of what the notes on that page are about.
