Lesson Presentation:
Disclaimer:  [This class is not intended to be a formal Spanish language class, but instead, an opportunity to experience the language without needing to be skilled at speaking.  This is a test mode to determine if there is an interest, or for students that may desire to communicate with other people they know, to broaden their horizons using the Spanish language.]

This lesson opens the ideas of the far past, near past, present, and future in our constantly changing world.  It is a reminder that life didn't start when we were born, it has existed a very long time, and the needs that came up in the past opened the door to be creative and become an innovative thinker.  It's never to early to inspire!

Introduction of Theme:  The theme covered in this lesson is Halloween's origin, and other trivia centered around its history.
1.  Students will begin with a discussion in English about what they know about Halloween's existence. (5-10 minutes)
2.  Students will then listen to a History Channel "trivia video" (see link below, under Materials)  about the history of its beginning, and the circumstances that existed before, during, and after its official naming.
3.  During the story video presentation, we will pause to allow students to make notes of things (e.g. other celebration names, and countries) that they may want to discuss later after the video. (https://www.history.com/topics/halloween/halloween-around-the-world, 2:15 mins + add'l. 5 min.)
4.  We will then concentrate on creating a conversation adding the following words to our conversation script:  Halloween - Vispera de Todos los Santos (Eve of the Saints or All Hallows Even-ing), ghosts- los fantasmas (phantom), apples - la manzanas,  All Saints Day - Dia de Todos los Santos, some activities - algunos actividades:  eating - comiendo, trick or treat - truco o trato, costume - la disfraz, and entertainment - la diversion 
5.  Using a white board, I will write and spell (allowing for auditory and visual clarification) the names on the board, and have students check the examples against their own written words. (20 minutes)
6.  Using our conversation guide, students will begin practicing repeating the words after me;
I will say the word:  1) one at a time, then 2) one person to the teacher,   3) finally, one person to the class at a time.  This will be repeated by each student.
