This site was created by Kristin Hokanson to show teachers ways that they can create a "Connected" Classroom for their students. It is growing into a collection of presentations surrounding the ideas of using technology and web 2.0 as tools to create constructivist learning experiences for all students. If you have a wikispaces account, use the discussion tab to discuss your thoughts about constructivism and using tools to connect your classroom with others.

Cycling This is a sport that competes for second place with Bullfighting, after Football, for the most television spectators.
-
This is an interesting and somewhat surprising fact. It will make a good 'do now' question as students walk in the door - What are the two most popular sports in Spain?
-
-
Football Without question this sport is foremost in the minds of the majority of Spaniards and throughout the country
-
It might say football - but it is not American football. Futbol = kicking the ball around with your foot trying to score in the net, aka soccer to Americans.
-
-
The game is based on the principle of propelling a hard ball, using a basket-like glove at great force against hard high walls, much in the manner of squash but without using rackets.
-
Pelota is uniquely Spanish. The word 'pelota' by itself means 'ball' in Spanish.

Bullfighting The bullring with its theatrical and sporting elements is considered by the population as the second most popular pastime in Spain.
-
Bull fighting is a very traditional 'sport' in Spain. To people from non-Spanish speaking countries they might feel it is uncalled for violence to the animals. Just because it is different from the United States does not make it wrong.
-
-
This website provides a short summary of the main sports that you can find in Spain. There are many similarities and differences to the United States that will provide discussion points in class.

7MoreArgentina People - 0 views
-
Unlike the people in other areas of Hispanic America, Argentines are mostly of European origin.
-
Between the 1850s and 1940, more than 3.5 million immigrants arrived in Argentina, about 45 percent of them from Italy and 32 percent from Spain. Prior to the 1960s, substantial numbers also came from Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Poland, Russia, Wales, the middle East, and Japan. Spanish is the official language and is spoken universally, but a number of Argentines also speak English, Italian, German, French, or Native American languages (Guarani, Quechua, Mapuche, etc.). Despite the mix of ancestries and languages, Argentines are fiercely nationalistic.
-
Approximately 90 percent of the population is nominally Roman Catholic.

They place a premium on not offending.
-
Argentines can express their concern for others with gauchadas, Gaucho-like acts of generosity, such as going out of one's way to help someone else solve a problem.
-
Argentines place a high value on individuality. One of the most vibrant symbols of the past which is supposed to represent the national character is the Gaucho -that near-mythical legendary historical plainsman who is independent, brave, athletic, a bold warrior, loyal, and generous. The Gaucho is the idealized version of a complex historical figure who has become etched into the Argentine consciousness.
-
Argentines are generally well informed about politics and economic policies, and they take great interest and pride in discussing them.

"See how cars are similar and how they're different. Choose up to four and start comparing." This will be useful when we practice forming comparative statements in Spanish.
6MoreThe Fiestas of Spain : Las Fallas , Valencia - 0 views
-
Las Fallas is undoubtedly one of the most unique and crazy festivals in Spain (a country known for unique and crazy festivals). What started as a feast day for St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, has evolved into a 5-day, multifaceted celebration of fire.
-
Las Fallas literally means "the fires" in Valencian. The focus of the fiesta is the creation and destruction of ninots--huge cardboard, wood and plaster statues--that are placed at over 350 key intersections and parks around the city today. The ninots are extremely lifelike and usually depict bawdy, satirical scenes and current events (lampooning corrupt politicians and Spanish celebrities is particularly popular). They are crafted by neighborhood organizations and take about six months to construct (and often cost upwards of US$75,000). Many ninots are several stories tall and need to be moved into position with cranes.
-
Starting in the early evening, young men with axes chop holes in the statues and stuff them with fireworks. The crowds start to chant, the streetlights are turned off, and all of the ninots are set on fire at exactly the stroke of midnight. Over the years, the local firemen, called "bomberos," have devised unique ways to protect the town's buildings from torching along with the ninots, such as by neatly covering storefronts with fireproof tarps. And each year, one of the ninots is spared from destruction by popular vote and exhibited in the local Museum of the Ninot along with the other favorites from years past.

-
The origin of Las Fallas is a bit murky, but most credit the fires as an evolution of pagan rituals that celebrated the onset of spring and the planting season.
-
Besides the burning of the ninots, there is a myriad of other activities during the fiesta. During the day, you can check out the extensive roster of bullfights, parades, paella contests and beauty pageants around the city. Spontaneous fireworks displays occur everywhere during the days leading up to "La Crema", but another highlight is the daily mascletá which occurs in the Plaza Anyuntamiento at exactly 2pm. When the huge pile of firecrackers is ignited, the ground literally shakes for the next ten minutes.

"They are very interested in not only communicating among themselves, but also with students all around the world," said Julie Evans, chief executive officer of Project Tomorrow (formerly NetDay), the survey's sponsor.
