Communication
Standard 1.3: Presentational Communication Students present information, concepts, and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers on a variety of topics.
Planning according to standard 1.3 is a very important way to promote the learning of a foreign language. It allows students to produce language and present to an audience. In addition, it is a great tool to improve their fluency, accuracy and public speaking. Standard 1.3 can be applied in this unit since it will allow students to work with art, describe art work or images and explain it to an audience.
Connections
Standard 3.1: Making Connections Students reinforce and further their knowledge of other disciplines through the foreign language.
Standard 3.1 gives the teacher the opportunity to expand the lesson and connect it to other disciplines. In, order to write the unit I have consulted sources from two subjects: Art and history. This will allow students to make connections while they study about history of the Latin America and use art to visually understand how the historical events occurred in the Pre-Columbian and Colonial era.
