Encanto Day - Global Goals Lessons

This is a whole day of Encanto learning, with 6 curricular areas being covered.

Literacy: I would envision having learners use garageband to record their own podcast but you could even have them do so with the audio recorder that comes as standard on iPads. Alternatively, they could simply record a short interview or promotional video discussing the importance of representation.

Maths: volume of cuboids and cubes (following a concrete, pictorial, abstract approach)

Art: Origami butterfly and discussion of the symbolism

Science: I would look to draw on an interactive whiteboard with the simulation however pupils could observe and jot on their own whiteboards or even create models with playdough? The dancing raisin experiment DOES NOT replicate the water cycle but it does show gases and liquids interacting and CAN be illuminating to understanding evaporation.

Dance: Bachata isn’t originally a Colombian dance (it’s Dominican) but it is popular in the region and some of the dances in the movie use steps and elements from the genre.
