Grab your "saco de dormir" and set up your "tienda de campaña"! Señor Lowe's Honor Spanish 3 have been going on their camping trip all week learning about narrating stories in the past tense. Each day, among set up tents and pine trees, the students analyze a Hispanic legend and folk song. Here, the students are learning about La Dama en Blanco from Argentina by ordering the story, learning about the El Pin Pon nursery song (which is a reference that can be found in the Spanish dubbing of Shrek), and fishing for vocabulary. The students will conclude the unit by writing their own scary stories in Spanish. Ten cuidado, Horacio Quiroga!
