• Introduced how to develop a graphic organizer for our upcoming project over a childhood memory/event, giving an example from my own childhood.
• Students divided into horizontal row groups, and read Juan Bobo aloud, acting out the parts. – I stamped the comprehension questions from Parte II.
• Divided into 3 large activity groups to start the “Artesanias” for los días de los muertos (1) adornar las calaveritas de azucar (2) hacer un títere de papel = la calavera cantante (3) hacer recortes de papel (papel picado). We’ll continue these tomorrow along with some other cultural activities.

1. Lugar = include the details that will come into play in your story.
2. Personaje = who are they, what characteristics do they have that play into the story?
