Review of Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branch & Longitude and Latitude

Opening

New Vocab Game- Last One Standing- Write and explain new vocab on board first

Give the class a topic (e.g. food, clothes, animals, things in a kitchen) and ask them to stand up, in a circle if possible. Clap out a beat and say, one, two, three, followed by a topic-related word. After the next three beats, the next student in the circle gives a word related to the topic, and so it continues. Anyone who can't think of a word or repeats a word already said has to sit down and it's the next person's turn. The winner is the last one standing.

Introduction to New Material

Instructions: Divide the students into groups of 3 (put faster learners with slower). Have each group investigate the meaning of their paper. Each group will present their paper to the class by reading their sheet in English and explaining it in Spanish.

Groups 1, 2, 3

Colombian State- a group of institutions that administer the territory and ensure peaceful relations and the fundamental rights of Colombians

The laws that govern the Colombian State come from the Political Constitution of 1991

Three areas make up the Colombian state: territory, population, and 3 branches of government

Groups 4, 5, 6, 7

Territory- Departmentos, los municipios, indigenous territories

Los Departamentos- 32

Los Municipios- comprised of the biggest cities and smallest pueblos, Colombia has more than 1, 100 municipios

Indigenous Territory/Reservations- designated land that protects the cultural, economic, political and social activities of the indigenous communities, Colombia has 576 reservations

Group 8

Population about 44 million inhabitants, 56% Mestizo, 30% Blancos, 11% Afro-descendants, and 3% Indigenous

Colombia recognizes itself as a multiethnic country

Guided Practice

Students will complete a worksheet with the information they learned in INM

Independent Practice- need 27 limones!!

Goal

To show children that despite outside differences, people are often similar on the inside.

 Activity

Gather a group of young children and give one lemon to each child. Then ask the children to "get to know your

lemon." Children will examine their lemons -- smell them, touch them, throw them in the air, and roll them around.

After a few minutes, collect the lemons in a big basket, and ask the children to find their lemons in the pile.

Remarkably, most children will recognize their lemons at once. Some will even get protective of them.

Next, ask the children to describe how they recognized their lemons. "My lemon was big," one might say. "My lemon

had a mark on one side." And another, "My lemon had dents and bruises." Then talk about how people, too, come in

different sizes, different shapes, different shades of color, different "dents and bruises."

After exploring these ideas, collect the lemons again but this time peel the lemons before placing them in the basket.

Then ask the children to again find their lemon. Presented with this quandary, children will usually exclaim, "But the

lemons all look the same!" This reaction opens the door to discussing how people, like lemons, are often similar on

the inside.

This 15-minute activity can have a long-lasting effect, especially if children are reminded of the lesson in times of

conflict.

Talk about the diversity of Colombia…brainstorm different groups in Colombia. Make a T-chart about how Costal

people are different from Interior –nicknames, stereotypes, weather, food, etc. Maybe even Colombia VS. U.S.A. Talk

about what it means to be multiethnic. Ask the kids to share their ethnicity.
