IDU: My identity in a suitcase

"A creative composition can express messages related to personal and cultural identity"

Purpose of this unit

At the end of this project, you will be able to creatively introduce yourself giving personal information in the target language. 

Imagine...

 You are traveling to a country where nobody knows you and where they only speak the language you are learning at school. 

One way you could show them who you are could be to open a suitcase and pull out objects that represent you, your most significant character traits and your personal preferences, while you explain each in either 

Spanish.

You can do it!

Here is when learning the knowledge and skills of two subjects can come in handy! 

This is what we call interdisciplinary learning.

End products

1. Video in Spanish: create a 2-3 minutes long video in which you express your personal and cultural identity by using elements of the two subjects involved in this IDU.  Spanish AND Visual Arts.

2. Report in English: write a report that is structured following certain criteria below. For each criteria you will get some guiding questions.

BOTH ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT

Inquiry questions

Factual:
What forms of communication can be used to express different aspects of identity?

Conceptual:
How can I define identity?
How can I express my identity through visual arts?
How is art an expression of identity?

Debatable:

Do I need a cultural identity?

Interdisciplinary criteria

CRITERION A: EVALUATING

In short: Knowledge and skills from both disciplines

CRITERION B: SYNTHESIZING

In short: The product itself

CRITERION C: REFLECTING 

Explaining your new interdisciplinary understanding

 

Assessments

• You will do two ATL formative activities: (one Communication + one Transfer skill). The goal is that these skills help you write the report. 

•  A Summative Report: you follow guiding questions that address all the three interdisciplinary criteria (note that the product only addresses one strand of one criteria). 

When and where

Both formative and summative will be completed at the same time on the Thursday 9th March 8:30-12:30

Your video has to be completed before you write your report. The date will be communicated soon.
 

All teachers involved in the IDU will be off meetings and lessons to assist and give feedback to students as they complete the report. 

Students upload their reports on that day to a google classroom.

Presentaciones

ATL skills

ATL skills

Interpret and use effectively modes of non-verbal communication

This is where your creative side comes in! How can you express your identity through a composition of objects/art work? 

Create plans to prepare for summative assessments (examinations and performances)

You have a final task and a deadline... how can you make sure that you meet it? We're going to try the backwards planning method!

Understand and use technology systems

How can you present your identity in the target language? You're going to learn how to accurately use an online dictionary to help you achieve this!

La maleta de Miss Espín

Mi objeto es la taza porque me encanta beber café.

Mi artefacto es el cuadro. Es un regalo de mi hijo mayor.

Think - pair - share

What do you need to learn/revise in order to be able to present an object from your country in Spanish?

Understand and use technology systems

In class you are given the lego bricks (language) to make your own creations (communication)!

Imagine each colour represents a different form of a language:

• vocabulary
• grammar
• cohesive devices
• conventions...

Do you know how to find the bricks? Do you know how to put these together?

Understand and use technology systems

Today you're going to learn how to accurately use an online dictionary to look up new vocabulary.

We're also going to give you some key phrases so that you can introduce yourself and demonstrate your identity effectively in your video!

¿Cómo se dice... en español?

Imagine that the following objects represent your identity:

• flag
• cat
• books
• clothes

¿Cómo se dice... en español?

Let's translate the word 'flag'.

How many different translations are there for this word? Words that sound the same and are spelled the same are called homonyms.

How do you know which is the correct word in Spanish?

¿Cómo se dice... en español?

As you can see, there are different forms such as:

• noun
• verb

What other forms are there for words?

Here you can see the form of the word and the meaning -->

¡Traducimos!

In the following slides, translate the nouns into English using www.wordreference.com

Careful! You must include the article el, la, los, las.

You can check this by looking at nf, nm, mpl, fpl

cat

clothes

books

laptop

ball

bat

What are some of your objects or artwork that might represent your identity?
Answer in English.

When looking at the answers, ask the class if there are any homonyms that might make translation a bit tricky

YOUR TURN! / TU TURNO

Now translate your object or artefact into Spanish

Use the online dictionary

Do you remember the name?
