Numbers: Mayan Codex Books
ACTFL Standards:
1.2 Communication: Students understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topics.
2.2 Cultures: Students demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the products and perspectives of the culture studied.
3.1 Connections: Students reinforce and further their knowledge of other disciplines through the foreign language. (visual arts, mathematics, and social studies)
Objectives:
1. TSWBAT create a two-dimensional artwork to express amounts.
2. TSWBAT understand why the Mayan people use codex books for.
3. TSWBAT count to 20 in Spanish.
4. TSWBAT describe artwork using numbers.
Context and Rationale:
This lesson will be done after the students learning the alphabet, colors, and shapes in artwork to be able to describe artwork using numbers. It is important for students to learn the numbers in Spanish so that they are able to build upon their vocabulary. Numbers help students to be able to describe, give directions, and do math in Spanish.
Vocabulary:
~Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
Materials:
~Number Cards 1-20
~Pablo Picasso Artwork from previous lesson
~Books with Mayan Codices
~White Construction Paper to make a small book
~Pencil
~Markers or Crayons
~I Can Do Statements
Pre-Activity: Learning the Numbers (Standards: 1.2,3.1 Objectives: 3,4)
The teacher will tell the students that they will be learning the numbers in Spanish, more than likely they will already know how to count to ten. They then use their artwork from last time to count the number of shapes or colors in all of their artwork to practice numbers in Spanish.
During Activities: Mayan Codex Books (Standards: 1.2,2.2, 3.1 Objectives: 2,4)
The students will learn about the product of the Mayan native tribe of Central America. The will learn that the Mayans used this as a way to tell their history and stories. The students will then describe their artwork using letters, colors, shapes, and numbers.
Codex Books (Standards: 1.2, 3.1 Objectives: 1,4)
Students will then make their own books choosing 10 ten numbers 1-20 and ways to represent these numbers using letters, shapes, and colors they have learned. The students will then share one page of their book with the rest of the class.
Post-Activity: I Can Do Statements (Standard: 3.1 Objectives: 3,4)
At the end of the lesson for the today, students will receive a piece of paper with I can do statements that say:
~I can say at least 10 numbers in Spanish.
~I can describe artwork using numbers, shapes, and colors.
All of these will have columns for no help, some help, and help. The teacher will collect these to get student feedback on what they need to work on for the next lesson.
Assessment:
Students will be observed while describing artwork to see how much they have been retaining from this unit. They will also be observed while describing a page in their book to see how much vocabulary they can use.
Differentiation:
For oral learners there will be many chances to use Spanish vocabulary to describe the codices of the Mayans. There will also be many visuals present for visual learners when the teacher shows to artwork to the students. For kinetic learners they will get the chance to make the artwork themselves.
