Cinco de Mayo Traditional Serape, Sombrero and Maraca Self Portrait

Celebrate the rich culture of Mexico and the significance of Cinco de Mayo with these self-portraits showcasing the traditional clothing and instruments of Mexico. The student will depict themselves dressed in a traditional serape poncho and sombrero that they will design using paper, pom-poms and other various materials as the hands of their self-portrait hold mini maracas. They will also learn how to say and write some Spanish words associated with this celebration. A learning objective, subject summary and application in real life, materials needed for each student and the step by step directions needed to create this lesson are all detailed in each of my lesson plans.
