Mitología, Magia y Misterio en el Mundo Hispano
In this many months long project, we explored themes such as legends, magic, culture, geography, history, and more. We learned about a variety of myths and legends from Latin America, read a full “mini-novel” titled: El Ekeko: Un misterio boliviano, watched a full-length film titled También la Lluvia, investigated the historical references in the lyrics of the Calle 13 song Latinóamerica, and wrote our own unique stories in Spanish. Throughout the project, we worked to both increase our fluency in the Spanish language and to answer essential questions such as “How do stories shape our beliefs and understandings of the world?” and “What “truths” can we learn about the places and cultures around the world by seeking to understand their stories?”
