  • The Parque del Buen Retiro is the most popular park in Madrid. It can get crowded during weekends when many Madrilenian families go for a stroll in the park and street musicians, sidewalk painters, fortune tellers, jugglers and street performers animate the crowd.

      As seen on our video series in class.
  • The Retiro Park was created as a royal park; it belonged to the Real Sitio del Buen Retiro palace. In 1632, the palace was built by King Philips IV as a retreat for the Royal family.
  • Of the original palace, only two buildings survived, the rest was destroyed during the Napoleonic wars.

  • The most important item in the collection is the sword of El Cid or La Tizona. Not really weaponry, but another notable item on display is the cross that Columbus took with him to the New World. The other surviving building is the Casón del Buen Retiro, a museum with a collection of 19th and 20th century paintings, including works by Joaquín Sorolla.
  • Close to the northern entrance of the Parque del Retiro is a large artificial lake, the Estanque del Retiro. Here you can rent a rowing boat, especially popular during weekends
  • More to the south is another, much smaller lake. At the edge of the lake is a beautiful glass building, the Palacio de Cristal.
  • Another feature of the park is the Rose Garden, the Rosaleda. And possibly the most remarkable feature of the Retiro Park is one of its statues, El Angel Caído. It is dedicated to Satan, possibly the only such statue in Europe.
  • The Retiro Park is located east of the city center, not far from the Prado Museum

  • 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.
  • visually representing their place by drawing, painting, creating a collage, or using KidPix on the computer to uncover more details about each place

  • Peer coaching
  • 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.
