The students will learn how the arrival of Cortez and the Spanish changed the course of history in the “new world.” The students will learn how the Catholic religion fused itself with the beliefs of the native people to create what is now known as the Day of the Dead. <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;"> || <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Make sure that the links within the WebQuest are not blocked by the district’s firewall. || <span style="line-height: 13.5pt; mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Students will log into the computers and start the WebQuest about Los Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead) The students will explore the steps of the WebQuest and then determine which students will take on which role to complete the project.

They students may also make a power point presentation with the information that they have found and then present it to the class. Students that have the ability to work on this project from home can work collaboratively to make a voice thread presentation using their power point slides and recording their oral presentation in the voice thread. || <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Materials and Resources <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;"> <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Course Text <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Computer Lab <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Internet <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">WebQuest || <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;"> <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;"> <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;"> <span style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly;">Accommodations and Extensions: <span style="line-height: 13.5pt; mso-element-anchor-horizontal: margin; mso-element-anchor-vertical: page; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt; mso-element-top: 134.3pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The teacher will be available one hour before and one hour after school to work with students in the computer lab for the students that do not have access to computers or internet outside of class.

The teacher will then have the students go to the catalog of links on the classroom’s blog page to begin researching the song and dance.

The students will go through the links and find out what they need in order to complete the task that they were assigned in the Wiki page the previous night. The students will find things that they need and then post them to their groups wiki page.

Students will then make sure everything they need is complete in their Wiki and then come together to and say what they believe Cumbia de los muertos means and how it ties into los Dias de los muertos. || -CD player, computers and lyric sheets. ||

 * Ongoing Assessment(s): Teacher will have remote access to all the computers in the computer lab to ensure that all students are staying on task. The teacher will also look at the updates on all of the different groups Wiki pages to make sure that the tasks are being completed.

Accommodations and Extensions: Students will be able to come one hour before and one hour after school to work with the teacher in the computer lab for whatever reason they need.

Back-Up Plan: If the network is down and students are not able to actively research this activity, the teacher will have the song lyrics in both English and Spanish for students to listen to and then apply what they already know about Dia de los muertos to the lyrics. ||

Instructional Objectives: The students will create a Power Point presentation that they will up load to www. Voicethread.com and then narrate their slides talking about their perspectives on the unit about Los Dias de los Muertos. The students will talk about the native cultures and Spanish cultures and how they combined to make this unique holiday. The students will show and narrate what they would want their family to include on their altar if they were to celebrate this holiday. They may instead create an altar with different offerings for a dead relative or friend that they would like to remember. The important thing for students to learn from this unit is that this holiday is a way to honor and remember the people that have passed on. When the people have fun with death and take time to remember those who have died, those people will live on in the memories of the living. ||

The students will come into the computer lab and log into the computers under their own login name. The students will have access to their completed WebQuest about the days of the dead and their work for Cumbia de los Muertos. Now the students will create a power point presentation which they will then upload to [|www.voicethread.com].

On voice thread the students will narrate each slide that will show images of what they learned about this holiday. They will also narrate what their altar would look like or what they would put on an altar for a relative or friend that has passed on. || Materials and Resources

Back-Up Plan: If there is for whatever reason a problem with the students recording onto their Voice thread while they are creating their digital storybook then the power point will serve as the template for their presentation. The teacher will be able to have the students cycle through their presentation and narrating their slides to the class. ||
 * ==EVALUATION== ||
 * . For this final part of the Unit All Souls and All Saints Day: Los Dias de los Muertos, the most important thing for the students to understand why this holiday is important to the people of the Yucatan peninsula and Guatemala (The decedents of the Mayan Indians). This holiday is a mixture of native beliefs and the Catholic church to remember the dead. All souls day is for the dead people and All Saints Day is for the children that have died. The students should understand that this is a way for people to celebrate their friends and family that have died on at least one day every year so that their memory lives on. The students will have to demonstrate this understanding in their digital story book. The students will also explain why they placed the items in their altar for themselves of or for a friend or relative (they should say that they like reading Calvin and Hobbes so they would want that comic on their altar because it is what they enjoy). ||
