gather and eat). Ask them if they put food on the altars on the Day of the Dead. Help them conclude that food brings people together and remind them that all those celebrations are also an important part of their culture. Product: Infographic As you may recall, in this unit students will design an infographic to describe a Mexican dish. In this lesson, they will decide what aspects they will include and write sentences to describe them. Organize the class into teams, read the first instruction aloud, and explain to them that this time they will decide what to include. Suggest that they check the chart on page 90, Activity 3, to get ideas, but encourage them to write the ones they think are relevant. Once they have specified which aspects, read the second instruction aloud. Have them check the key words they identified in Lesson 2 and use them to write sentences for each aspect. Encourage students to link them using appropriate connectors. Monitor while they work to check. This activity will be your second evidence in this unit; ask students to file it following the procedure you prefer. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. How can you link two concepts or ideas? Ask students the question and this time invite them to explain how they use the connectors they learned in this lesson. Differentiated Instruction Activity 5: Use the Stimulate Students’ Senses Strategy before working on this activity. Tell students to close their eyes and recall how mole smells, tastes, and looks. When they open their eyes, read instructions aloud and invite students to use the sensory details they recalled about mole to write their headlines.
