Students will be assessed by playing a fun Kahoot game which each student will need a separate device, such as a phone to play this game.Class Experience
The class will be facilitated by a slide show presentation, which will guide the student to what will be happening next. The class will have fun facts about Mexico with a true/false guessing game. From there, we will learn about the history of Cinco De Mayo and Afro-Mexicans through am interactive lecture with student participation such as asking questions, playing charades, and Pictionary. The teacher will share an easy Mexican recipe for them to do at home, learn vocabulary, and phrases in Spanish for beginners, learn a Mexican-style dance, and play a game of Kahoot (student needs a separate device for this, perhaps a cell phone) to review everything that was discussed. Students do not need any prior knowledge of Spanish. There will be a short video clip shown about Cinco de Mayo. Each student will read a short sentence in Spanish to review vocabulary and phrases again. The teacher will end the session by asking the students what they learned.

Parental Guidance
Will be using the platform Kahoot.
Students do not need to make an account for this game. They will only need an extra device to play and follow these simple steps.
1. Search Kahoot.it in google, safari, firefox, chrome, or any other platform such as these.
2. Once you're on the site, you will enter the Game Code that the teacher will provide to you when the game is supposed to begin.
3. After you add the code, students will provide a username of their choice. Something goofy is always fun.
4. After that, the student should have been added to the game.
*The teacher will walk you through the steps once they say it's time to play in class.
Google slides will be used, and they will be shared during the entire lesson.
One Youtube video will be used to play music to teach a Mexican dance.
A trivia game will be played at the end of the class to review everything the students have learned. They will NOT need to do anything extra to participate in this game. The teacher will present it by sharing her screen and asking the children trivia questions.
A quesadilla recipe will be shared in the classroom after the class. It will be a link taking one to a kid-friendly cooking site, and it will be mentioned during the lesson.
Supply List
Students will log on to Kahoot.it. They will need a separate device other than what they are using to sign on to Outschool. After the teacher has opened the game, everyone will receive a pin and at that time, they will enter their pin and a nickname. Students also need paper (enough for about 5 drawings) and a dark marker to play Pictionary. They will be showing their picture on their screen.
