  • Before a lesson: Questions are a way to motivate, set goals, stimulate thinking, convey purpose, and create a positive learning environment. During a lesson: Questions inspire thinking and reflection, allow students to review what they're learning, involve students in evaluating their understanding of implicit and explicit learning, and encourage students to think ahead – to predict, anticipate, problem solve, and identify trends and patterns. After a lesson: Questions prompt students to summarize what they learned, make analogies, reflect, draw conclusions, incorporate new learning with prior learning, and extend learning.

  • Papel picado literally means 'punched' or 'perforated' paper. This traditional cut paper folk art is found throughout Mexico and the former colonies of Spain as well as in the folk traditions of many other countries.
  • In Mexico the art has reached a pinnacle of expression and is present at every major holiday in the form of brightly colored strings of cut tissue paper banners strung under the portals of homes and across the narrow streets of colonial villages
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • They are also present at all national holidays such as the "Days of the Dead", the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Christmas, and Independence Day.
  • The Mexican art of paper-cutting is a marvelous synthesis of European, Asian, and Pre-Columbian artistic traditions.
  • When the Spaniards arrived in Mexico there was already a tradition of paper making that was called amatl in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. The native peoples of Mexico produced a type of paper by mashing the pulp of the bark of fig and mulberry trees between rocks. Once dry the paper was then cut with knives made from obsidian. The paper cuts made from amatl were primarily of a ceremonial nature and included images of the numerous Aztec gods and goddesses, a practice that was discouraged by their Christian conquerors. Among the Spanish, the word amatl became amate. Today amate continues to be used in Mexico where one can occasionally find copies of codices and books as well as reproductions of the ancient deities.
  • Although the methods and tools have not changed much during the ages, papel picado continues to evolve as a living folk tradition in Mexico. Much of the papel picado available in today's folk art market comes from the village of San Salvador Huixcolotla, Puebla, which lies southeast of Mexico City. The tradition of paper-cutting is preserved in the talleres, small family workshops of two rival artisans' families, the Vivancos and the Rojas, who maintain a spirit of fierce competition and pride in the art.
  • The traditional process of making papel picado banners begins by drawing a design which becomes the patron or pattern. The pattern is then placed over multiple layers of tissue paper which rest on a thick layer of lead. The artisan then cuts through multiple layers of paper using a mallet to pound finely sharpened chisels of varying sizes and shapes through the paper and into the sheet of lead.
  • The process of transforming sheets of tissue from a design to a completed paper cut can take 30 or more hours.

  • Nothing is foolproof, but I have yet to find anything as motivating and influential on students' self-expression as helping them tell stories about an important place.
  • Before I could expect them to write a story that had a clear beginning, middle, and end, students needed preparation.

  • The teacher must surrender a great deal of control in embarking on digital storytelling with students.
  • two major iMovie skills: how to bring images, music, and voice into the computer (importing) and how to sequence them according to their story (drag and drop)
  • Using iMovie to create digital stories does not require a digital camcorder. Most students used photographs and images that they drew by hand or on the computer.
  • It's vital to note, of course, that the technology was always secondary to the storytelling.

Boxing, fading in U.S., stirs pride in Mexico - Sacramento Bee - 1 views

shared by L Butler on 04 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • Boxing has faded in the United States, eclipsed by extreme ultimate fighting, hurt by a lack of homegrown heavyweight stars and banished to small audiences on television pay-per-view. But south of the border, the sport remains hugely popular, aired almost every Saturday evening on national television. Bouts draw steady ratings, and top boxers claim masses of followers.
    • L Butler

      This is so true. Boxing in the United States is confined to pay-per-view bouts. The majority of the matches - one of the fighters has a Spanish last name. That is evidence that boxing is alive and well in Mexico.
  • Soccer may be Mexico's national sport, but boxing speaks to the never-give-up grit and warrior spirit that Mexicans say date to Aztec times.

  • "We have more than 100 world champion boxers in our history. … People say, 'Boxing is what brings us glory, so let's support boxing.' "
  • Sweat, perseverance and a desire to climb out of poverty are on display, as one might expect. A few retired fighters evince an air of sadness, and their stories of fortunes earned and squandered also don't surprise.
