As part of our studies on Spain, third- and fourth-grade students had a choice of three different projects to extend their learning, each connected to a cultural aspect of España that we have studied. Película de Don Quixote de la ManchaIn this project option, students chose one of three scripts adapted from scenes in Miguel de Cervantes' classic book El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha. They decided costumes, props, and backgrounds, and created movies with their chosen scene from Don Quixote. Flamenco y CastañuelasIn this option, students created their own castañuela, a traditional instrument often used in dancing flamenco, a dance originating in southern Spain in the region of Andalucía. After creating their castañuelas, students learned the basic steps of flamenco so that they can properly use their new castañuelas. Antoni Gaudí y ArquitecturaIn this last project option, students created a building or structure design using architect Antoni Gaudí as inspiration. Gaudí built many incredible structures in the Spanish city of Barcelona, including the Sagrada Família church, which is still under construction today. Watch the video below for more information about this incredible piece of Barcelonan culture and history.
