Overview
This unit is written for collaborative teaching. It is written for the Spanish and Costume teachers at Rogers Creative and Performing Arts School to introduce the culture of the growing Spanish community of Pittsburgh PA., to all grades.
The Spanish teacher will teach both his classes and mine about the historical culture and language. The costume teacher will teach art, popular culture, and clothing, both historical and current. We will exchange classes as needed to accomplish our stated goals.
It will also be written in such a way that teachers of other disciplines might participate. This will of course make the learning more interactive and meaningful. Those teachers who choose to participate can bring music, dance, drama, creative writing, singing, photography, videography, muralists, and stage craft students into the mix to help create a truly marvelous unit.
The unit will culminate in a festival with a cafe that serves authentic foods. Parents and community partners will be asked to become actively involved in all aspects of this unit.
