Spanish 3: Salud y Medicina

Salud y Medicina
We created this unit to fit into our “health” unit.  In order to have a cultural lead that would engage students, we focused on the topic of “curanderos”.  We knew that we would have access to #authres to support this and that the topic would be interesting to students as they learn something new.  Our old way of performing skits in the doctor’s office was not realistic for most of our students nor was it an opportunity for them to feel like they were learning anything more than simulated uses of Spanish.  Curanderismo is a topic in which they are willing to discuss because it’s new and different to them.


If my links don't work, just contact me: melaniereidthomas@gmail.com!!!!!

Our learning target / summative performance piece:
I can interpret a piece of cultural artwork to answer questions that describe the medical symptoms and remedies.  I can compare products, practices, and perspectives to my culture.
To break this down for the course of the unit, the teacher needs to help the students
  • ·describe symptoms (this means body part review)
  • ·describe various remedies (this will be various types ranging from natural to traditional)
  • ·determine the cultural components in art
  • ·practice asking AND answering questions

If you do an image search for curanderos, you can find LOTS of pics.  We found about 20, therefore we had some duplicates but we just made sure they didn't partner up at the end!

We’re aiming for Intermediate Low with encouragement for Intermediate Mid characteristics.  We share 2 important characteristics with students: 
  • ·I can ask simple questions
  • ·I can use series of sentences

Daily plan (determined by backward design)  We're on the block!  80 min every other day

  2. Symptoms and remedies
  3. Sicknesses in school
  4. Song:  Estoy Mala by Pinturilla
