• Gather 15. Download Free Movies. 5- x 20-inch sheets of tissue paper in green, red, and white (the colors of the Mexican flag). Fold each sheet of tissue paper in half, then fold in half again, and finally fold in half a third time. This should result in a rectangular shape. Prepare many extras just in case students need to start over. • Using construction paper or cardstock, cut out red triangles, green squares, and white circles.

These should be large enough for students to stand on during the Pattern Stomp Game. • For each student, roll up one 12- x 18-inch piece of construction paper horizontally. Tape the edges closed so you 18-inch-long tubes. • Cut the yarn or string into pieces approximately 50 inches long. Each student will need one piece.

• Write a KWL chart on a sheet of chart paper. The chart should be divided into three columns: K = what you know; W = what you want to learn; and L = what you learned. See the KWL Chart printable for an example. Lesson Directions. Day 1 Step 1: Begin this unit by completing a KWL chart with the class. Ask students 'What do you know about Mexico?'

Then ask students 'What would you like to learn about Mexico?' Note: Accessing prior knowledge is so important because it is one way to drive your instruction of the unit. When writing down the students' responses, I always write their names next to what they said and I try to include a quick draw. Not only does it improve their self-esteem, but it's also a great resource for the students to look at during journal time. Step 2: Read the book Look What Came From Mexico by Miles Harvey aloud to the class. Afterward, see if any of the questions from the KWL chart can be answered now. If yes, list the answers under the L part of the chart.

('What did you learn?' ) Step 3: Focus on Mexican folk art. Show students an example of a Mexican paper cutting. Discuss what they see in the cutting: color, patterns, and shapes. Step 4: Play the Pattern Stomp Game with students. Place a red triangle down on the ground, and then a green square, red triangle, green square, etc. Have students stand in a line and say the pattern as they are stomping on the shape.

Add a white circle into the pattern. This exposure will be beneficial to the students later, when they are making patterns with their tissue paper. Step 5: Model cutting the folded tissue paper. • Draw an ABAB pattern onto the folded tissue paper all around the paper's edges. • Cut out the pattern with scissors. I usually cut a simple pattern, like triangle, square, triangle, square, etc. • Fold the tissue paper in half and cut more little triangles and squares along the crease of the fold.

• Open the tissue paper to its original size. Students are amazed to see how beautiful the paper cutting came out! Step 6: Give each student their favorite color tissue paper and have them cut their sheet the way you modeled. Help students carefully open their tissue paper to reveal their patterns. Step 7: Hand out the construction paper tubes you prepared ahead of time.

Have students tape their paper cutting horizontally to the rolled up construction paper. Put a piece of yarn through the hole of the construction paper roll. Torrent Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Plot.
